About Our Heat Pump Installation in Lakeway
Lakeway has a housing stock unlike most of the Austin metro. You've got homes from the 1970s and 80s sitting alongside newer construction, often on the same street. Older homes here were built before modern efficiency standards and many are still running original or early-replacement HVAC equipment that was never well-suited to the lake humidity. We've worked in enough of these homes to know where the ductwork quirks hide and what the moisture exposure does to aging systems over time. Heat pump installation in Lakeway isn't a one-size-fits-all job, and we treat it that way.
Cold is on the Right installs a full range of heat pump systems, from traditional air-source units to ductless mini-splits for additions, guest quarters, or rooms that never quite got comfortable. We size every system correctly using load calculations, not guesswork, so you're not overpaying for capacity you don't need or undershooting a system that can't keep up in July. Our goal is always the same: a system that works efficiently, lasts, and keeps your Lakeway home comfortable year after year.

Heat Pump Services We Provide in Lakeway
New Heat Pump Installation
If your Lakeway home is still running an older furnace-and-AC setup, a new heat pump installation can replace both systems with a single, more efficient unit. We assess your home's layout, existing ductwork, and square footage before recommending a system — especially important in older Lakeway homes where duct sizing may not match today's standards.
Heat Pump Replacement
Heat pumps in Lakeway face additional wear from the humidity that comes with living near Lake Travis. If your current system is 12 or more years old, experiencing frequent breakdowns, or struggling to hold temperature, replacement is often more cost-effective than continued repairs. We'll give you a straight answer on whether replacement makes sense before recommending anything.
Heat Pump Repair
Not every problem means a new system is necessary. We diagnose and repair heat pump issues across all major brands, including refrigerant problems, reversing valve failures, and thermostat communication issues. Catching a repair early in Lakeway's humid climate is especially important since moisture-related damage tends to compound quickly.
Ductless Mini-Split Installation
Many Lakeway properties have spaces that central systems never quite reach — a converted garage, a lake-view bonus room, or a guest suite added to an older home. Mini-splits are a practical, efficient solution that avoids the need to extend existing ductwork and provides independent temperature control for each zone.
Heat Pump Sizing and Load Calculations
Oversized systems short-cycle and undersized ones run constantly — both waste energy and wear out faster. We perform proper Manual J load calculations for every Lakeway installation, accounting for square footage, ceiling height, insulation quality, and the additional humidity load that comes with a lakeside location. Getting the size right from the start protects your investment.
Thermostat and Smart Controls Installation
A modern thermostat can significantly improve how your heat pump performs and how much energy it uses. We install and configure smart thermostats that work correctly with your heat pump's heating and cooling modes, including the auxiliary heat settings that some older thermostats don't handle well.
Ductwork Inspection and Sealing
In older Lakeway homes, leaky or improperly sized ductwork can undermine even a brand-new heat pump. Before or after installation, we inspect existing ducts for leaks, gaps, and sizing mismatches that reduce efficiency and cause uneven comfort. Sealing and balancing the duct system is often one of the most impactful upgrades a Lakeway homeowner can make.
HVAC Maintenance Plans
Heat pumps work harder in Lakeway's climate than in drier parts of the state — the humidity means coils, filters, and drainage components need regular attention. A maintenance plan keeps your system running efficiently, catches small issues before they become expensive ones, and extends the lifespan of your investment.
Air-Source Heat Pump Systems
Air-source heat pumps are the most common choice for Lakeway homeowners and perform very well given the area's mild winters. Modern variable-speed air-source systems are significantly more efficient than systems from even a decade ago and are well-suited to the temperature swings between summer afternoons and winter nights in the Lake Travis area.
Heat Pump System Upgrades
If your existing heat pump is functional but aging, upgrading to a higher-efficiency system can lower your monthly energy costs while improving comfort. We help Lakeway homeowners evaluate whether a mid-life upgrade makes financial sense based on their current system's age, condition, and energy consumption.
AC Installation and Replacement
When a heat pump isn't the right fit, we also install dedicated air conditioning systems for Lakeway homes. We'll walk you through the differences honestly so you end up with the right system for your home, your budget, and the way you actually use the space.

We Know Lakeway Homes
Lakeway has an interesting mix of housing that you don't see everywhere in the Austin area. There are solid 1970s and 80s builds with character and good bones, but their HVAC systems were designed for a different era of efficiency standards, and the lake humidity has a way of accelerating wear on equipment and ductwork alike. We've been inside enough of these homes to recognize the common failure points — undersized duct runs, coils that have taken on moisture damage, and units that were replaced once already with whatever was cheapest at the time.
The newer construction that's filled in around the lake over the last decade brings its own considerations, including tighter building envelopes that require correctly sized equipment to avoid humidity and air quality problems. Whether we're working in an older lakeside home off Lohmans Crossing or a newer build in one of the communities off 620, we bring the same approach: accurate load calculations, honest recommendations, and installation done right so you're not calling us back for problems that should have been avoided.

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!
