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.

What We Do

Mini split systems that help Saddle Rock homeowners heat and cool specific rooms independently without ductwork

Covering indoor wall unit placement, outdoor condenser setup, refrigerant line installation, and multi-zone configuration for whole-home comfort.

  • Mini Split Installation

    Indoor wall units, outdoor condenser, and refrigerant line setup for single-zone or multi-zone ductless systems

  • Multi-Zone Setup

    Multiple indoor units connected to one outdoor condenser for independent room temperature control

Why Us

SEER 20 ductless systems with load calculation for proper sizing

Oversized or undersized mini split systems waste energy and never reach comfortable temperatures. The wrong unit count leaves rooms too hot or too cold.

Common Challenges

  • Uncertain how many units you need

    Without load calculation, you risk oversizing that short-cycles or undersizing that runs constantly

  • Indoor units may look out of place

    Wall-mounted units can clash with décor if placement isn't planned around furniture and sightlines

  • Electric bills climb unexpectedly

    Improperly sized systems or leaving units running in unused rooms drives up monthly costs

How We Help

  • SEER 20 models cut cooling costs 30-40%

    High-efficiency indoor units use inverter-driven compressors that adjust output instead of cycling on and off

  • Independent zone control reduces waste

    Set bedrooms to 68°F at night and living areas to 72°F during the day without conditioning unused spaces

  • No ductwork installation required

    Refrigerant lines run through 3-inch wall penetrations, avoiding $5,000-$10,000 duct installation costs

  • Quiet operation under 30 decibels

    Indoor units run quieter than window AC units, with outdoor condensers placed away from bedrooms

About This Service

About this Service

Mini-split heat pump installation in Saddle Rock provides ductless zone heating and cooling for townhomes, two-story homes, and patio houses in gated subdivisions. Indoor wall units connect to an outdoor condenser to deliver independent temperature control without ductwork.

Gentle slopes and rocky outcrops in Saddle Rock affect outdoor-condenser siting and refrigerant-line routing; installers commonly use elevated steel stands or concrete pads to clear rock and manage snow. A load calculation determines the number of indoor heads and whether cold-climate SEER 18–20 models are appropriate.

Expect steady zone control and lower operating costs compared with window units, with the qualifier that HOA rules often limit visible indoor units and pad locations. Very cold snaps may require a cold-climate model or small electric backup for shortest run-times.

FAQ

Common Questions About Mini Split Heat Pumps

Answers to help you decide if ductless systems fit your Saddle Rock home.

Window units operate at SEER 10-12 efficiency vs SEER 20 for mini splits, wasting $400-$600 annually on cooling costs. They also create security risks with open windows and allow drafts that increase heating bills in winter. Delaying installation means continuing to overpay for energy while dealing with uneven temperatures and noise.
Most 2000 square foot homes need 2-4 indoor units depending on layout and insulation. Open floor plans may need fewer units, while homes with many closed rooms require more. A technician performs a load calculation based on square footage, ceiling height, insulation, and window placement to determine the right unit count and capacity for your property.
Yes. Cold-climate mini splits with hyper-heat technology operate effectively down to -15°F, well below Saddle Rock's typical winter lows. They deliver 2-3 times more heat energy per dollar than electric baseboard heaters and maintain consistent temperatures without the on-off cycling of furnaces. Snow accumulation doesn't affect performance when outdoor units are elevated above ground level.
High bills usually result from oversized systems that short-cycle, leaving units running in unused rooms, or setting temperatures too far from outdoor temps. Proper sizing through load calculation and using zone control to condition only occupied rooms reduces monthly costs by 30-40% compared to window units or baseboard heat.
Indoor wall units require wall space and may not fit every décor preference. Upfront installation costs run higher than window units but lower than central air with ductwork. Some homeowners find the appearance of wall-mounted units less appealing than hidden vents, though modern units come in multiple styles and colors to blend with interiors.
Single-zone installations take 4-6 hours. Multi-zone setups with 3-4 indoor units take 1-2 days depending on refrigerant line routing and outdoor unit placement. Gentle slopes and rocky outcrops in Saddle Rock may require concrete pads for outdoor condenser stability, adding 1-2 hours to installation time.
Yes. Multi-zone systems with separate indoor units on each floor provide independent temperature control. Upstairs units handle bedrooms that overheat in summer, while downstairs units manage living areas. This eliminates the common problem of one thermostat trying to control multiple floors with different heating and cooling needs.
No. We review your mini split enquiry and arrange for a local Aurora technician to contact you with a quote and availability. The technician assesses your home, recommends the right system type and size, and completes installation from start to final testing.

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+++
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!
