About Our HVAC Replacement in Georgetown

Georgetown's rapid growth has created a genuinely unique housing landscape. You'll find century-old homes near downtown that were never designed with modern HVAC in mind alongside sprawling master-planned communities where builders installed builder-grade systems that are now approaching end of life. That mix means HVAC replacement here isn't one-size-fits-all. Cold is on the Right has worked in Georgetown long enough to understand what each type of home actually needs — not just the equipment, but how it gets installed and integrated with existing ductwork, insulation, and infrastructure.

We work with all major equipment brands and specialize in matching the right system to your home's specific footprint, age, and energy goals. If you're in an older Georgetown home with aging ductwork, we'll assess whether that infrastructure needs attention before a new unit goes in. If you're in a newer development and your builder-grade system just gave out, we can move you into higher-efficiency equipment that actually reduces your monthly bills. Georgetown homeowners can reach us at (512) 271-2172 any time.

HVAC Replacement Services We Provide in Georgetown

Central AC Replacement

When your air conditioner can no longer keep up with a Georgetown summer, a full replacement is often the most cost-effective path forward. We assess your existing system, ductwork, and home size to recommend properly sized equipment that won't short-cycle or leave your upstairs rooms baking. A correctly matched AC replacement can meaningfully cut your energy costs compared to running an old, failing unit.

Furnace Replacement

While Georgetown winters are mild compared to much of the country, temperatures do dip low enough to matter — especially in older homes near downtown that can lose heat quickly. We replace aging furnaces with modern, high-efficiency units that heat your home quickly and reliably on those cold January mornings. If your furnace is over 15 years old or cycling on and off constantly, it's likely costing you more than a new system would.

Heat Pump Replacement

Heat pumps are an excellent fit for Georgetown's climate — mild winters mean a heat pump handles both heating and cooling efficiently without burning through fuel. Many newer Georgetown homes and master-planned communities already have heat pump systems, and when those units reach end of life, we replace them with modern variable-speed models that offer better comfort and lower operating costs. We also help homeowners in older homes transition from traditional split systems to heat pumps when it makes financial sense.

Full System Replacement (Air Handler + Outdoor Unit)

When one component of a split system fails, replacing only that piece can sometimes leave you with mismatched equipment that runs inefficiently and may void manufacturer warranties. We frequently recommend full system replacements — both the air handler and the outdoor condenser — to ensure everything is rated and designed to work together. This is especially common in Georgetown's older neighborhoods where systems were installed 15 or more years ago.

Ductwork Replacement and Upgrade

New equipment installed on old, leaky ductwork won't perform the way it should. In Georgetown's historic homes and some of the earlier master-planned communities, duct systems can be undersized, deteriorated, or poorly sealed. We inspect existing ductwork as part of every replacement project and can re-run, resize, or seal ducts so your new system delivers conditioned air where it belongs rather than into attic or crawl space.

HVAC Maintenance After Replacement

A new system is an investment, and regular maintenance keeps it running at peak efficiency for its full lifespan. After we install your new unit, we offer ongoing maintenance plans that include seasonal tune-ups, filter checks, and priority service scheduling. Georgetown homeowners who stay on top of maintenance see fewer emergency breakdowns and longer equipment life.

HVAC Repair (When Replacement Isn't the Answer)

Not every failing system needs to be replaced — sometimes a targeted repair extends the life of a unit by several years and makes financial sense. We give Georgetown homeowners an honest assessment of whether repair or replacement is the smarter choice based on the system's age, condition, and the cost of the needed fix. If repair is the right call, we'll tell you that directly.

Smart Thermostat Installation

Every HVAC replacement we do includes the option to upgrade to a smart thermostat that learns your schedule and automatically adjusts temperatures to maximize comfort and efficiency. In Georgetown's warm climate, smart thermostats can make a noticeable difference on your energy bill by pre-cooling your home before peak rate hours. We program and test the thermostat as part of the installation process so you leave the house knowing how to use it.

Mini-Split Installation

Ductless mini-split systems are increasingly popular in Georgetown, particularly for additions on older downtown homes where running new ductwork isn't practical. They're also a great solution for detached garages, casitas, and guest rooms in newer Georgetown properties. We size, install, and commission mini-split systems and explain how to use them efficiently in Central Texas conditions.

Indoor Air Quality Upgrades

Georgetown's growth has meant more construction activity, more allergens, and more dust circulating through homes than many residents expect. When replacing your HVAC system, it's an ideal time to add upgraded filtration, whole-home air purifiers, or UV light systems that reduce airborne contaminants. We walk you through what makes sense for your home and your family rather than pushing every available option.

Energy Efficiency Consultations

Replacing an HVAC system is one of the biggest opportunities to reduce a home's energy consumption. We offer honest efficiency consultations during the replacement process, helping Georgetown homeowners understand SEER2 ratings, equipment sizing, and how insulation or air sealing factors into long-term performance. Our goal is to help you make a confident, informed decision — not just sell you the most expensive unit on the shelf.

We Know Georgetown Homes

Georgetown's housing stock is genuinely diverse, and that matters for HVAC work. The historic homes near the courthouse square often have original layouts that weren't designed for central air — crawlspaces, plaster walls, and attic configurations that make standard installation approaches challenging. Conversely, the large master-planned communities like Wolf Ranch, Teravista, and Sun City were built quickly at scale, which means builder-grade HVAC systems that are now reaching the end of their designed lifespan all around the same time. We see both ends of that spectrum regularly and know how to approach each one correctly.

Georgetown also sits at an elevation where temperature swings can be more pronounced than areas closer to Austin, and the area's clay-heavy soils affect how well homes hold conditioned air over time. Older homes often have duct systems that have shifted or separated as foundations settled, a common issue in Central Texas. When we do a replacement in Georgetown, we're not just swapping equipment — we're evaluating the whole system to make sure the new unit has the infrastructure to perform the way it should from day one.

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.

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!

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does HVAC replacement cost in Georgetown, TX?
HVAC replacement in the Georgetown area typically ranges from around $6,000 to $14,000 or more depending on the size of your home, the type of system you're replacing, equipment efficiency tier, and whether any ductwork needs to be addressed. Homes in Georgetown's older historic neighborhoods sometimes require additional work to accommodate modern equipment, which can affect the overall cost. Larger homes in the master-planned communities may need higher-capacity systems that run at the higher end of that range. The best way to get an accurate number is to have a technician assess your specific home — estimates over the phone without a load calculation are rarely reliable.
How long does an HVAC replacement take in Georgetown?
Most standard HVAC replacements in Georgetown are completed in a single day, typically between four and eight hours depending on the complexity of the job. If ductwork modifications or repairs are needed, or if the installation involves a more complex setup like a zoned system or ductless mini-splits, it may extend into a second day. Your technician will give you a realistic time estimate during the assessment so you can plan accordingly. We make every effort to leave your home with a fully operational system before the end of the workday.
What size HVAC system does my Georgetown home need?
Proper sizing for a Georgetown home depends on the square footage, ceiling height, insulation quality, window area, home orientation, and the age and condition of the building envelope. A common mistake is simply matching the size of the old system, which may itself have been incorrectly sized when originally installed. We perform a Manual J load calculation before recommending equipment — this is the industry standard method for determining the correct tonnage. Oversized systems short-cycle, which leads to humidity problems and premature wear, while undersized systems run constantly without reaching comfort. Georgetown's climate, with its hot summers and variable winters, makes accurate sizing especially important.
Should I repair or replace my HVAC system in Georgetown?
The general rule of thumb is to compare the cost of the repair against the age and overall condition of the system. If the system is more than 12 to 15 years old and the repair cost exceeds about one-third of what a new system would cost, replacement usually makes better financial sense. Georgetown homes with older systems are also likely running on lower efficiency ratings, so a newer system often pays back a portion of its cost through lower monthly energy bills over time. If your system uses R-22 refrigerant, which is no longer manufactured, replacement is almost always the right move since refrigerant costs have become extremely high. We give you a straight answer on which direction makes sense after evaluating your specific equipment.
What HVAC brands do you install in Georgetown?
We work with a range of reputable equipment manufacturers and will recommend options based on what makes the most sense for your home, budget, and efficiency goals rather than steering you toward a single brand. Common brands we install include Carrier, Trane, Lennox, and Rheem, among others. What matters most is that the equipment is properly sized, correctly installed, and well-matched to Georgetown's climate demands. We'll walk you through the options available at different price points and efficiency ratings so you can make an informed decision.
How often does an HVAC system need to be replaced in Georgetown?
Most HVAC systems have a lifespan of roughly 15 to 20 years under normal conditions, though Georgetown's demanding summers can accelerate wear on systems that are undersized or not well-maintained. Systems in Georgetown's newer master-planned communities that were installed during construction booms in the 2000s and 2010s are starting to reach end-of-life age, and we see a significant number of replacements in those neighborhoods. Regular maintenance — annual tune-ups, filter changes, and coil cleaning — can extend a system's functional life by several years. If your system is approaching 15 years old, it's worth having it evaluated so you can plan for replacement on your own timeline rather than reacting to an emergency breakdown in July.
