About Our Furnace Installation in Dripping Springs
Dripping Springs sits far enough west of Austin that heating systems here work differently than they do in the city. Custom-built homes on acreage often have larger floor plans, vaulted ceilings, and unique ductwork layouts that require a furnace installation done right the first time. Cold is on the Right sizes every system to your specific home, accounting for square footage, insulation quality, ceiling height, and how your existing ductwork is routed — so you're not paying to heat air that's escaping into your attic or crawl space.
We've installed furnaces throughout Dripping Springs and the surrounding Hill Country, and we know the quirks that come with rural properties out here. Whether your home runs on propane because natural gas lines don't reach your road, or you're upgrading from an aging builder-grade unit that came with your custom build years ago, we match you with the right system and install it to last. No upselling. No surprises on the final invoice.

Furnace Installation Services We Provide in Dripping Springs
New Furnace Installation
We install gas and propane furnaces sized precisely for your home's layout — whether it's a 2,000-square-foot cottage or a sprawling custom build on multiple acres. Proper sizing is critical in Dripping Springs homes, where open floor plans and high ceilings can cause an undersized unit to run constantly without ever catching up. We handle everything from equipment selection through final testing.
Propane Furnace Installation
Many Dripping Springs properties sit beyond the reach of municipal gas lines, making propane the fuel of choice for home heating. We install propane-compatible furnaces that integrate cleanly with your existing tank setup, with proper line sizing and safety checks to make sure everything meets code. If you're switching from electric heat to propane for the first time, we walk you through what's involved.
Furnace Replacement
When your current furnace is beyond repair or simply too old to run efficiently, a full replacement is often the smarter investment. We remove your old unit, properly dispose of it, and install a modern high-efficiency system that will cut your heating bills and perform reliably through Hill Country winters. Replacement also gives us a chance to inspect your ductwork and fix any issues before they rob you of efficiency.
Furnace Repair
Sometimes a new installation isn't needed — your existing furnace just needs an honest diagnosis and the right repair. We service all major brands and can handle everything from ignitor failures and cracked heat exchangers to blower motor issues and control board problems. Getting a repair done correctly by someone who knows what they're looking at is especially important when you're miles from the nearest hardware store.
Heating System Repairs
Furnaces aren't the only heating equipment that needs attention — heat pumps, air handlers, and zone control systems all have their own failure patterns. We diagnose and repair the full range of residential heating equipment found in Dripping Springs homes, including systems installed in custom builds with non-standard configurations. Getting the right repair the first time saves you from repeat service calls.
HVAC Maintenance Plans
A furnace that's maintained regularly lasts significantly longer and runs more efficiently than one that's ignored between breakdowns. Our maintenance visits include cleaning the heat exchanger, checking ignition and safety controls, testing airflow, and catching small issues before they turn into emergency calls. For Dripping Springs homeowners who rely on their system and don't want surprises in the middle of January, a maintenance plan is worth every dollar.
Ductwork Inspection and Sealing
In custom-built Hill Country homes, ductwork is often routed through unconditioned attic space or over long runs that lose heat before it reaches the far end of the house. We inspect your duct system as part of every furnace installation and can seal leaks or recommend improvements that make your new equipment perform the way it should. Poor ductwork is one of the most common reasons a new furnace fails to keep a home comfortable.
Thermostat Upgrade and Installation
Pairing a new furnace with an outdated thermostat is like putting new tires on a car with bad alignment — you're leaving performance on the table. We install programmable and smart thermostats that give you better control over your heating schedule and can help reduce propane or gas consumption over the course of a season. For larger homes with multiple zones, we can help set up multi-stage controls that match how you actually use your space.
Carbon Monoxide Safety Checks
Furnace installations involve combustion equipment, and carbon monoxide safety is something we take seriously on every job. We test for proper venting, check heat exchanger integrity, and verify that your CO detectors are placed correctly and functioning. This is especially important in tighter, newer custom construction where a small leak can accumulate faster than it would in an older, less sealed home.
System Sizing and Load Calculations
Guessing on furnace size is a mistake that affects your comfort and energy bill for the life of the system. We perform proper Manual J load calculations that account for your home's square footage, insulation levels, window area, ceiling height, and local climate conditions specific to the Dripping Springs area. The result is a system that runs efficiently and keeps every room at the temperature you set.
Emergency Heating Service
Furnaces don't wait for convenient timing to fail, and out in Dripping Springs, you can't always just call a neighbor or walk to a warm coffee shop while you wait for help. We offer emergency heating service for those situations where a breakdown in the middle of the night or over a holiday weekend isn't something you can put off. We'll tell you upfront what it costs before we start any work.

We Know Dripping Springs Homes
Dripping Springs has grown fast, but it's still a community where most homes sit on large lots or acreage, and a lot of what's been built here over the past 20 years are custom builds with unique floor plans, oversized great rooms, and heating runs that stretch far from the mechanical closet. That kind of construction demands careful system sizing and attention to ductwork design — shortcuts that might go unnoticed in a standard subdivision tract home show up immediately in a 3,500-square-foot custom build with 14-foot ceilings. We've worked in enough of these homes to know where the trouble spots are before we ever open the ceiling.
Beyond the custom construction, a lot of Dripping Springs properties rely on propane rather than natural gas, and that shapes every decision we make about equipment selection and installation. The Hill Country climate — hot summers and genuinely cold winter nights — asks a lot from HVAC equipment, and the distance from urban service areas means homeowners here can't afford a furnace that needs attention every season. We install systems built to handle that workload, and we back up our work with the kind of straightforward service that makes sense for a community where reputation travels fast and neighbors talk.

High Fives from Austin Homeowners
Graysen and Andrew from Cold is on the Right came out just a couple hours after I called and took care of cutting out my kitchen faucet. They were professional, friendly, and clearly knowledgeable, explaining everything in a straightforward way without any upselling or confusion. It was refreshing to get honest answers and excellent service so quickly. I’ll definitely be using them again for future plumbing needs.
Services: Faucet repair
Price assessment: Reasonable price
We contacted Cold is on the Right today with an urgent plumbing need. Their very professional and organized crew arrived within 30 minutes and fixed our issue. We called five other plumbing companies before them and no one was able to help us. Cold is on the Right will now be the first plumbers we call.
Services: Drain cleaning
We called due to slow drainage and apparently main line backing up into master bathroom shower and sink. There is an automated line that takes your information and apparently works very well. Plumbers Billy and Jeremy showed up promptly after we were informed they were being dispatched this morning, they stayed and worked until the problem was solved and advised on possible future repairs that would need to be done. They were professional, smart, respectful of our home, and efficient in their actions. Let us know what things would cost and were honest in their assessment of what would be needed next and how (un) likely our homeowners insurance would be able to help. I appreciate the service and the fair treatment by these gentlemen. Thank you.
Santiago and Kyle were amazing during our total HVAC system replacement. Kind, informative, knowledgeable and careful to ensure a smooth install. They were efficient and got my AC working before my family arrived for spring break. Now enjoying the cool air with family. Great pricing and quick turn around from quote to finished job. Thank you! 10/10 would recommend them to anyone needing HVCA or plumbing work.
These guys are prompt and very polite, and explain your options well without trying to upsell. We thought we needed three things replaced, but they showed us that one of the three just needed an adjustment rather than a replacement. Wonderful service!
