About Our HVAC Repair in Dripping Springs
Dripping Springs isn't a cookie-cutter suburb, and its homes aren't either. Custom builds on large lots, older ranch-style homes with original ductwork, and newer construction that sometimes cuts corners on equipment sizing — we've seen it all. Cold is on the Right has worked on HVAC systems throughout the Dripping Springs area and knows the specific patterns that show up here: oversized systems that short-cycle, units pushed hard by low humidity in winter and brutal heat in summer, and equipment that's been running without professional attention for years.
We show up ready to diagnose, not guess. Every repair visit starts with a thorough assessment of your system so you understand exactly what's wrong, what it'll cost to fix it, and what you can expect going forward. No upselling you on a replacement when a repair will do the job, and no dragging out simple fixes. Dripping Springs homeowners rely on their equipment because the nearest parts store isn't always around the corner — we respect that and come prepared.

HVAC Repair Services We Provide in Dripping Springs
AC Repair
When your air conditioning quits in the middle of a Dripping Springs summer, the heat inside a custom home with high ceilings and large windows becomes unbearable fast. We diagnose and repair compressor failures, refrigerant leaks, frozen coils, and electrical issues that leave you sweating. Getting your AC back online quickly is our priority.
Learn MoreHeat Pump Repair
Heat pumps are popular in Hill Country homes because they handle both heating and cooling efficiently — but when they fail, you lose climate control in both directions. We troubleshoot reversing valve failures, refrigerant issues, defrost cycle problems, and compressor faults specific to heat pump systems. Dripping Springs temperatures can swing enough at night that a broken heat pump isn't something you want to ignore.
Learn MoreFurnace Repair
Gas furnaces in Dripping Springs often sit idle for months at a stretch, and that downtime can lead to igniter failures, cracked heat exchangers, and pilot or sensor issues that show up the first cold morning you actually need heat. We inspect and repair all major furnace brands and make sure your system is safe to run, not just operational. A cracked heat exchanger is a carbon monoxide risk — we take that seriously.
Learn MoreHeating Repairs
Whether you have a gas furnace, electric heating system, or a package unit out on a larger property, heating repairs in Dripping Springs need to happen before the next cold front rolls through. We work on all types of heating systems and carry common parts on our trucks so repairs don't drag into multiple visits. Hill Country winters may be mild compared to up north, but a heating system failure at 28 degrees is still a serious problem.
Learn MoreHVAC Maintenance
A well-maintained system runs longer, breaks down less, and costs less to operate — especially in an area like Dripping Springs where equipment has to handle dramatic seasonal swings and dusty outdoor air from surrounding land. Our maintenance visits cover coil cleaning, filter inspection, refrigerant checks, electrical connections, and overall system health. Staying ahead of problems out here is smarter than waiting for a summer breakdown.
Learn MoreHVAC Replacement
Sometimes repair is the right call, and sometimes the system has run its course and a replacement is the smarter investment. We give you an honest assessment and, when replacement makes sense, we help you choose the right equipment for your home's size, layout, and how you use it. Proper sizing matters especially in Dripping Springs custom homes where square footage and ceiling heights vary significantly.
Learn MoreRefrigerant Leak Detection and Recharge
Low refrigerant is one of the most common reasons an AC system stops cooling effectively, and it's often the result of a slow leak rather than normal loss. We locate the source of the leak, repair it properly, and recharge your system to manufacturer specifications. Simply topping off refrigerant without finding the leak is a short-term fix that will leave you calling again in a few months.
Ductwork Repair and Sealing
Older homes in Dripping Springs — especially those that were built with custom duct runs across wide floor plans — often have leaky or disconnected ductwork that wastes conditioned air before it ever reaches the living space. We inspect, seal, and repair duct systems to improve airflow and reduce the strain on your HVAC equipment. Better duct integrity means more even temperatures throughout the home and lower energy bills.
Thermostat Repair and Replacement
A faulty thermostat can make a perfectly functional HVAC system behave erratically — short-cycling, failing to reach set temperatures, or not responding to input at all. We diagnose thermostat wiring issues, calibration problems, and compatibility conflicts with modern smart thermostats. In homes where the thermostat may be original to a decades-old installation, an upgrade alone can make a noticeable difference in comfort and efficiency.
Capacitor and Contactor Replacement
Capacitors and contactors are among the most commonly failed components in air conditioning systems, especially after a long hot season in the Hill Country. A failed capacitor means your compressor or fan motor won't start, and a burned contactor prevents your system from running at all. These are straightforward repairs we can typically handle same-day, getting your system back up without waiting on parts.
Blower Motor Repair
If your system is running but airflow feels weak throughout your home, a worn or failing blower motor is often the culprit. In larger Dripping Springs custom homes where the air handler has to push conditioned air through longer duct runs, a struggling blower makes the problem worse than it would be in a smaller space. We test, repair, or replace blower motors and check the associated components to restore proper airflow to every room.

We Know Dripping Springs Homes
Dripping Springs draws people who want space, and the homes reflect that: custom builds on five, ten, or more acres, sprawling floor plans with high ceilings, and a real mix of construction eras from 1970s ranch homes to brand-new builds going up right now along 290. Older homes often have original ductwork that was sized for smaller, less efficient units, and aging systems that haven't had consistent maintenance because out here, people tend to deal with problems when they show up rather than on a schedule. That combination of diverse home types and deferred maintenance creates a pattern of failures we know well.
The Hill Country environment itself puts extra demands on HVAC equipment. Cedar and oak pollen clog filters and coils faster than in more urban settings, the caliche dust that comes with gravel driveways and open land works its way into outdoor units, and homes with well water and septic systems often have different moisture and air quality dynamics than city-water homes. When we come out to a Dripping Springs property, we're not working from a generic checklist — we're drawing on real experience with how these conditions affect equipment and what it actually takes to fix it right.

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!
