Had an issue with my furnace, not running correctly and I thought it was short cycling so I called Bear Creek after having another HVAC contractor looked at it. Charge me $150 and didn't really fix the problem. The owner Kevin showed up and was able to identify the issue had a short-term fix until we could get it fixed. Kevin was very knowledgeable and a nice guy and didn't even me for the short term solution. I would strongly recommend him!
Where can I start? Kevin is extremely responsive and knowledgeable. Prices are also reasonable for the quality of work performed. I had an emergency leak in my basement today (had a flight to catch in a couple of hours) and denver water was taking too long to shut the water off in the house. Kevin took time out of his day off to stop by my house and temporarily fix the leak so I could make my flight later that day! The professionalism is unmatched! I will be using Kevin and his team on all sorts of projects going forward. Can’t recommend highly enough!
Kevin and his team came into my old moutain home and helped me install a new tankless water heater and a new furnace. They ran into all sorts of unknowns at the house, my well line started leaking into basement and it was just the tip of the iceberg. Kevin stayed numerous days helping me fight problems that were not even part of his installation. He is one who you can say will have your back through thick n thin! He sticks to what he says, where most people would try to stick it to you for unseen work.. His instalation was very thorough and he made sure I was happy before he left. l sure appreciate you helping me fight the fight with courage and leadership. Thank you Kevin and Team A+++

What We Do

Mini split systems that help Aurora homeowners heat and cool specific rooms without ductwork installation

Covering indoor wall unit placement, outdoor condenser setup, refrigerant line installation, and multi-zone configuration for independent room temperature control

  • Single-Zone Mini Split Installation

    One indoor wall unit with outdoor condenser for room additions or garages

  • Multi-Zone Mini Split Setup

    2-4 indoor units connected to one outdoor condenser for whole-home zone control

Why Us

Room-by-room load calculation determines exact unit count and placement

Oversized or undersized mini split systems waste energy and fail to maintain comfortable temperatures. Proper sizing based on room square footage and layout prevents short-cycling and ensures efficient operation.

Common Challenges

  • Indoor wall units clash with décor

    Wall-mounted units feel intrusive and homeowners worry they'll look out of place in finished rooms

  • Uncertain how many zones are needed

    Confusion about whether one unit per room is required or if fewer units can cover multiple spaces

  • Electric bills climb with poor sizing

    Oversized systems cycle on and off constantly, wasting energy and driving up monthly costs

How We Help

  • 2-4 indoor units for 2,000 sq ft homes

    Room-by-room load calculation determines exact unit count based on square footage, insulation, and window exposure

  • Refrigerant lines run through 3-inch wall penetrations

    Minimal wall disruption compared to ductwork installation that requires cutting through ceilings and walls

  • Independent zone control cuts waste

    Each indoor unit operates independently, avoiding energy waste from conditioning unused bedrooms or basements

  • SEER 20 models reduce cooling costs 30-40%

    High-efficiency mini splits use inverter-driven compressors that adjust speed instead of cycling on and off

  • Indoor units mount high on walls or recessed in ceilings

    Multiple placement options let you choose between visible wall units or flush-mount ceiling cassettes

How We Work

How Mini Split Installation Works

From room assessment to final testing, we arrange a local Aurora technician to size, install, and test your ductless system.

  1. Room Assessment & Sizing

    Technician measures square footage, insulation, and window exposure to determine how many indoor units you need and where they should mount

  2. Indoor & Outdoor Unit Installation

    Indoor wall units mount in each zone with refrigerant lines running through 3-inch wall penetrations to the outdoor condenser

  3. System Testing & Zone Setup

    Technician tests refrigerant charge, verifies airflow, and configures independent zone controls for each indoor unit

About This Service

Mini Split Heat Pumps in Aurora

Ductless mini split heat pump installation and service for Aurora homes that lack central ducts or need zoned climate control. It suits single-family houses, townhomes, condos, and room additions where independent temperature control per room matters.

Indoor wall or ceiling cassette units tie to a single outdoor condenser through refrigerant line sets and electrical feeds; multi-zone outdoor units commonly support several indoor heads. Installations in Aurora typically consider SEER 20 cooling models and cold-climate air-source units rated for operation near -15°F, with a load calculation and refrigerant charge set to prevent short-cycling.

The expected outcome is precise zone control and lower cooling costs compared with window units, and quieter operation than portable systems. Expect visible indoor units and line-set routing, and understand that correct sizing and thermostat use determine actual energy savings.

FAQ

Common Questions About Mini Split Heat Pumps

Answers to questions about sizing, installation, and operating costs for ductless systems.

Undersized systems run constantly trying to reach temperature, wasting energy and wearing out compressors faster. A 2,000 sq ft home typically needs 2-4 indoor units depending on layout and insulation. Proper room-by-room load calculation prevents overworking the system and ensures comfortable temperatures year-round.
Oversized units cycle on and off constantly, failing to dehumidify properly and driving up electric bills. Short-cycling wears out compressors faster and reduces system lifespan. Technicians perform load calculations to match unit capacity to actual heating and cooling needs, preventing waste and premature failure.
Most 2,000 sq ft homes need 2-4 indoor units depending on room layout, insulation, and window exposure. Open floor plans may need fewer units, while homes with many closed-off rooms require more. A technician performs room-by-room load calculation to determine exact unit count and placement.
Cold-climate mini splits with hyper-heat technology work effectively down to -15°F, making them suitable for Aurora winters. They deliver 2-3 times more heat energy per dollar than electric baseboard heaters. Multi-zone setups let you heat occupied rooms only, reducing energy waste compared to whole-home furnace operation.
High bills usually result from oversized systems that short-cycle, incorrect refrigerant charge, or running units in unoccupied rooms. Proper sizing and zone control reduce waste. SEER 20 models use 30-40% less energy than window units when sized correctly and operated efficiently.
Indoor wall units are visible and may not suit every décor preference. Upfront installation costs run higher than window units but lower than central air with ductwork. Multi-zone setups require maintenance on multiple indoor units. However, zone control and energy efficiency often offset these drawbacks for homes without existing ductwork.

We have known Kevin Camblin for a decade. First of all, he is fully licensed and insured. I not only hired him to install furnace in my rental, last year we hired him to install new AC in our new home. The home builder had the copper lines preinstalled (refrigerant). When Kevin finished the AC install, he found and repaired the copper line the BUILDER accidentally punctured with a nail. (this leak was in basement ceiling). Outstanding workmanship on Kevin’s part and we went with an upgrade on our new AC - reason was it is more efficient and super quiet. Give this company a call. High integrity and competitive price. AVOID THE BIG CHAINS because the others have high overhead!
I have had terrible luck with furnaces in my homes. Not only has Bear Creek Heating & Air replace one furnace but two. My first home and then my second when I moved into a townhouse. In true emergency it was the dead of winter and woke up to a home that was less than 50 degrees. Their team worked efficiently to see was available and do it for a fair and reasonable cost. I would highly recommend this company! I've had my furnace now for a couple years and zero problems!
