About Our Furnace Replacement in Lakeway
Lakeway's housing stock tells a layered story. Many homes here were built in the 1970s, 80s, and 90s when the community first took shape as a lakeside retreat. Those homes often have original or once-replaced HVAC systems that are well past their service life. The lake proximity adds another layer — humidity from Lake Travis accelerates wear on components like heat exchangers, blower motors, and ductwork connections. When we replace a furnace in one of these homes, we're not just swapping equipment. We're assessing what the existing system has been dealing with and making sure the new installation is sized and configured to handle conditions specific to this part of the Hill Country.
For Lakeway's newer construction, the challenges are different but still real. Larger homes with open floor plans and varied ceiling heights require careful equipment sizing to heat efficiently without short-cycling. Cold is on the Right takes a whole-home approach — we look at your ductwork, airflow, and insulation before recommending a unit. We've built lasting relationships with homeowners throughout this community because we take the time to get it right the first time, and we stand behind every replacement we perform.

Furnace Replacement Services We Provide in Lakeway
Full Furnace Replacement
When your existing furnace is beyond repair or simply too old to run efficiently, we handle the complete removal and installation of a new unit. We size the system to your home's specific layout and square footage, which matters especially in Lakeway where homes range from compact 1970s lake cottages to large modern builds. You get a system designed for your home, not a generic swap.
Learn MoreGas Furnace Replacement
Gas furnaces remain a popular and cost-effective heating option throughout Lakeway. We replace outdated gas units with high-efficiency models that deliver reliable heat while keeping your energy bills manageable through the cooler months. Our technicians handle all gas line connections and safety checks before we consider the job done.
Learn MoreElectric Furnace Replacement
Some Lakeway homes, particularly older builds that weren't originally set up for gas, rely on electric furnaces. We replace aging electric units with newer models that run more efficiently and provide more consistent heating. We evaluate your electrical panel capacity as part of the process to make sure the new system is properly supported.
Learn MoreHeat Pump System Replacement
Given Lakeway's relatively mild winters, heat pump systems are an excellent fit for many homes in the area. We replace outdated heat pumps with modern variable-speed units that handle both heating and cooling, making them a smart long-term investment. The lake's moderating effect on temperatures means a properly sized heat pump can carry you through most of the year without backup heat.
Learn MoreDuctwork Inspection and Replacement
In Lakeway's older homes, ductwork can be a bigger issue than the furnace itself. Decades of humidity exposure from Lake Travis, combined with normal aging, leads to leaky ducts that rob your system of efficiency. When we replace your furnace, we always assess the duct system and address any significant problems so your new equipment performs the way it should.
Learn MoreFurnace Repair vs. Replacement Evaluation
Not every failing furnace needs to be replaced, and we'll tell you honestly which way to go. If your unit is under 15 years old and the repair cost is reasonable relative to its remaining value, repair may make more sense. But if you're looking at an aging system with repeated breakdowns, we'll walk you through the numbers so you can make an informed decision.
Learn MoreEmergency Furnace Replacement
A furnace that dies on a cold January night in Lakeway can't wait a week for service. We offer emergency availability for situations where your heating system has failed completely and your home is unsafe to stay in without heat. We work quickly to get a proper replacement in place rather than leaving you with a temporary fix that creates more problems down the road.
Learn MoreThermostat and Controls Upgrade
A new furnace paired with an outdated thermostat is a missed opportunity. We install smart thermostats and updated controls that give you better temperature management, scheduling capability, and real energy savings. For Lakeway homeowners who travel or split time between properties, remote access thermostats are especially practical.
Learn MoreHeating System Zoning
Many larger Lakeway homes have areas that heat unevenly, with some rooms too warm while others stay cool. Zoning systems paired with a new furnace installation solve this by letting you control temperatures room by room. It's a common solution for the multi-story and open-concept homes that are prevalent throughout the newer sections of Lakeway.
Learn MoreIndoor Air Quality Integration
When replacing a furnace, it's the right time to add air filtration, humidity control, or UV purification to your system. Lake Travis proximity means Lakeway homes deal with fluctuating indoor humidity, and integrating a whole-home humidifier or air purifier during the furnace replacement makes the installation cleaner and more effective than adding it later.
Learn MorePost-Replacement Heating Maintenance
A new furnace is an investment worth protecting. We offer ongoing maintenance plans that keep your replacement system running at peak efficiency year after year. Regular tune-ups catch small issues before they turn into costly repairs and extend the lifespan of your new equipment — something Lakeway homeowners who plan to stay in their homes long-term consistently find worthwhile.

- You've had the same component repaired more than once in the past two years

We Know Lakeway Homes
Lakeway has a character that's hard to replicate — established neighborhoods built around Lake Travis with mature trees, winding roads, and homes that have real history. A lot of the houses we service here were built in the 70s, 80s, or early 90s, and their HVAC systems reflect that. We've replaced furnaces in homes where the original unit had been running for 25 years and humidity from the lake had quietly been eating away at internal components the entire time. That kind of experience tells you things a spec sheet never will.
The newer developments in Lakeway bring their own considerations. Larger square footage, vaulted ceilings, and open layouts mean equipment sizing is critical — an undersized furnace will run constantly and still struggle, while an oversized one will short-cycle and wear out prematurely. We've learned this community's quirks over many years of service, and that local knowledge is what separates a furnace replacement that performs well for a decade from one that causes headaches by the second winter. Lakeway homeowners tend to be loyal to contractors who earn that trust, and we work every day to be worth it.

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!
