HVAC Services We Run Through Bear Valley
Bear Valley is a 1960s and 1970s split-level neighborhood at Denver's southwest edge, between Bear Creek Greenbelt and the foothills. Three staggered floors, one thermostat and half-century-old ductwork are why most calls here start with uneven temperatures, not with a dead system.
Heat Pump InstallationA split-level suits a heat pump because it can heat and cool through the ducts the house already has, or run ductless for the half-below-grade lower level the furnace never reaches. Heating and cooling both get tested on the house's own three levels before the job is signed off.View details →Furnace RepairThe furnace in a Bear Valley split-level has usually served the house for decades, and the failure is often a worn igniter, a tired blower or a cracked heat exchanger. The flue gets checked alongside the burner, since both have had fifty years to deteriorate.View details →Duct RepairFifty-year-old runs in a tri-level fail at the joints and the flex: disconnected sections, crushed runs, leaks that starve the upper floor while the lower level freezes. Reconnecting and supporting the duct properly does more for comfort than a new furnace on the same broken runs.View details →Air Conditioning RepairWhen cooling fails in a three-level house, the cause is usually airflow — undersized or leaky ducts — as much as the condenser itself. Refrigerant and electrical checks come first, then the duct balance, because a repaired condenser on starved ducts still leaves the top floor hot.View details →HVAC Maintenance PlansTwo visits a year keep a 1970s system honest: a cooling check in spring and a heating check in fall, fresh filters and pressures recorded, so a slow decline shows up as a trend instead of a breakdown. The foothills edge also means smoke season gets a filter check, since foothill smoke can reach Bear Creek early.View details →

How We Run HVAC Work in Bear Valley
The split-level trap is the whole story here. These are the three fixes we talk through most.
The split-level trap: hot upstairs, cold downstairs
Three staggered levels, one thermostat, and ductwork that was never designed for the job. The upper floor overheats in summer while the lower level stays cold in winter.
How we help: We look at zoning, a ductless head for the lower level, or a heat pump using the existing ducts, and we explain which fix matches which level before recommending equipment.
Fifty-year-old ducts in a three-level house
Original ductwork in a 1970s split-level leaks and starves the far rooms. A new furnace on the same ducts inherits the same imbalance.
How we help: We test static pressure and airflow at each register, seal what is accessible, and tell you what the ducts can and cannot deliver before you buy equipment.
Hills, wind and cold-air drainage
Bear Valley is one of Denver's few genuinely hilly neighborhoods, close to the foothills, so wind and cold-air drainage reach it sooner than central Denver.
How we help: We note the slope and exposure of each lot when placing outdoor equipment, and we check that the lower level is not fighting drafts the upper floors never feel.

Bear Valley HVAC FAQ
HVAC in Bear Valley: Common Questions
Lion Tech Home Services can help if your question is not answered here.
Call (720) 806-7634 →Three staggered floors, one thermostat: the system reads one point and the other two levels drift. Zoning, a ductless head for the lower level, or a heat pump usually fixes it; a bigger furnace does not, because capacity was never the problem.
Not on its own. A new furnace inherits the same ducts, and if the ducts are the bottleneck the imbalance survives the swap. Airflow and static pressure get tested first, so the plan starts with what the ducts can actually deliver.
A ductless head is often the answer for a half-below-grade lower level the main system never reaches. It gives that level its own control without new ductwork, and it runs independently of the thermostat upstairs.
Twice a year — a cooling check before summer and a heating check before winter, with fresh filters and refrigerant pressures recorded. On a system this age, the checks are how a worn part gets caught while it is still a small repair.
