About Our AC Repair Services in Lakeway
Lakeway's housing stock tells an interesting story — you've got 1970s and 80s ranch-style homes close to the lake where aging ductwork and older refrigerant systems are common, sitting right alongside newer construction in communities like Rough Hollow and Lakeway Highlands where systems are newer but installation quality can vary. Cold is on the Right services all of it. Our technicians work on all major brands and system types, and we know how to spot the patterns that show up specifically in this area — from humidity-related coil issues to systems that are undersized for homes with large windows facing the lake.
We're not a call center dispatching strangers. We're a local team that values the same things Lakeway residents do: straightforward communication, no runaround, and a job done well. If your AC is blowing warm air, running nonstop, or struggling to hold temperature on a July afternoon, call us. We'll tell you exactly what's wrong, what it will cost, and what your best options are — no pressure, no surprises.

AC Repair Services We Provide in Lakeway
Central AC System Diagnosis
When your system isn't cooling properly, the first step is a thorough diagnosis — not a guess. We inspect every component from the compressor and refrigerant levels to electrical connections and thermostat communication, giving you a clear picture of what's actually wrong before any repair begins. In Lakeway's humid climate, a single overlooked issue can cascade quickly, so we don't skip steps.
Learn MoreRefrigerant Leak Detection and Recharge
Low refrigerant is one of the most common AC complaints in the Lake Travis area, especially in older systems running R-22 refrigerant that haven't been serviced in a few years. We locate leaks, repair them at the source, and recharge your system to manufacturer specifications so it can actually keep up with the summer heat. Simply topping off refrigerant without finding the leak is a short-term fix we don't offer — we do it right.
Learn MoreEvaporator and Condenser Coil Repair
Lakeway's proximity to Lake Travis means elevated humidity levels that accelerate coil corrosion and moisture buildup in ways that inland communities don't experience as severely. A dirty or damaged evaporator coil forces your system to work harder and still fail to cool effectively. We clean, inspect, and repair coils to restore proper heat exchange and protect your system's efficiency.
Learn MoreCapacitor and Electrical Component Replacement
Capacitors and contactors are small components that fail frequently in Texas heat, and when they go, your system either won't start or will run erratically. We stock common replacement parts so most electrical repairs are completed on the same visit — which matters when it's 98 degrees and your house is warming up fast. This is one of the most common AC repairs we perform in Lakeway each summer.
Learn MoreBlower Motor and Fan Repair
A failing blower motor shows up as weak airflow, rooms that won't cool evenly, or a system that runs but moves almost no air through your vents. In larger Lakeway homes with open floor plans or multiple levels, an underperforming blower makes the whole system feel inadequate. We test motor function, check belt and bearing wear, and replace components that aren't performing to spec.
Learn MoreThermostat Repair and Replacement
A malfunctioning thermostat can mimic a much bigger AC problem — causing short cycling, inconsistent temperatures, or a system that simply won't respond to your settings. We test thermostat wiring, calibration, and communication with your HVAC system to determine whether the issue is the thermostat itself or something downstream. Many Lakeway homeowners with older homes are still running outdated thermostats that limit how efficiently their system can operate.
Learn MoreDuctwork Inspection and Leak Repair
Many of Lakeway's older homes have ductwork that's decades old — and duct leaks quietly drain your system's efficiency while forcing it to run longer to hit your target temperature. We inspect accessible ductwork for gaps, disconnected sections, and insulation deterioration that's common in attic spaces exposed to extreme summer heat. Sealing duct leaks often makes a noticeable difference in comfort and energy costs.
Learn MoreAC Tune-Up and Preventive Maintenance
The best AC repair is the one you don't need because a small issue was caught early. Our maintenance visits include coil cleaning, refrigerant checks, electrical testing, filter inspection, and a full system performance review — everything needed to keep your system reliable through peak cooling season. For Lakeway homeowners who depend on their AC from April through October, a spring tune-up is some of the best money you'll spend.
Learn MoreEmergency AC Repair
An AC failure in Lakeway during July or August isn't just uncomfortable — it can be a health concern for young children, elderly family members, and pets. We offer emergency service for situations that can't wait until the next business day. Call us, describe what's happening, and we'll get a technician to you as quickly as possible to restore your cooling.
Learn MoreAC Replacement Consultation
Sometimes the most honest thing we can tell you is that repair isn't your best path forward. If your system is over 12-15 years old, has needed multiple repairs recently, or simply can't maintain comfort in the Texas heat, replacement may save you more money over time than continuing to patch an aging unit. We walk you through your options clearly, including energy-efficient systems that are well-suited to Lakeway's climate demands.
Learn MoreCommercial AC Repair
Lakeway's growing commercial corridors along RR 620 and near the Lakeway Town Center have businesses that depend on reliable cooling for employees and customers alike. We service light commercial AC systems with the same upfront pricing and honest diagnostics we bring to residential work — no inflated commercial rates, no vague estimates.

We Know Lakeway Homes
Lakeway is one of those communities where you might be working on a 1978 home with original ductwork and a converted R-22 system, then drive two streets over to a 2019 build with a high-efficiency variable-speed unit — and both homeowners have completely different problems. We've worked in enough Lakeway homes to know what to look for based on the age and style of the house before we even open the access panel. That background matters when you're trying to diagnose something accurately on the first visit.
The lake proximity is something we factor in every time we're out here. The humidity levels around Lake Travis are meaningfully higher than what you'd see in north Austin or the suburbs, and that moisture accelerates coil corrosion, promotes mold growth in drain pans and ductwork, and puts additional strain on systems that might be running perfectly fine in a drier neighborhood. When Lakeway homeowners tell us their system just doesn't seem right, we take that seriously — because in this community, they're usually 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!
