About Our Heating Repairs in Lakeway
Lakeway's housing stock is genuinely varied, and that variety matters when it comes to heating repairs. The community has older homes built in the 1970s through the 1990s with aging HVAC systems that were sized and installed for a different era, alongside newer construction with more modern equipment that brings its own set of quirks. Cold is on the Right has worked on all of it. We know the difference between a heat exchanger nearing the end of its life in a 30-year-old system and a refrigerant issue in a newer heat pump — and we'll tell you honestly which problem you're dealing with before any work begins.
Living close to Lake Travis also means your heating and cooling equipment works in a more humid environment than homes further inland. That moisture accelerates corrosion on components, can affect electrical connections inside your air handler, and shortens the life of parts that might last years longer in drier conditions. Our technicians factor in Lakeway's lakeside climate when they evaluate your system, not just what the manufacturer's spec sheet says. That local context is the difference between a repair that holds and one that has you calling again in six months.

Heating Repairs We Provide in Lakeway
Furnace Repair
A malfunctioning furnace in a Lakeway home can leave your family cold quickly when temperatures drop at night. We diagnose and repair all furnace types, including aging gas units common in homes built in the 1980s and 1990s that may be dealing with worn heat exchangers, faulty ignitors, or failing control boards. Our technicians carry common parts on their trucks to get your heat back on the same day in most cases.
Learn MoreFurnace Replacement
When a furnace in an older Lakeway home has been repaired one too many times, replacement becomes the smarter financial decision. We help you evaluate whether the cost of continued repairs outweighs the investment in a new, efficient unit that will perform reliably for the next 15 to 20 years. We handle the full replacement from removal of the old system to installation and testing of the new one.
Learn MoreFurnace Installation
Whether you're adding heating to a space that previously relied on space heaters or upgrading your Lakeway home with a new system, proper furnace installation sets the foundation for years of reliable comfort. We size the equipment correctly for your home's layout, ensure proper venting, and calibrate the system before we leave. Getting the installation right the first time prevents the efficiency problems and premature failures that follow a poorly sized or rushed install.
Learn MoreHVAC Repair
Your HVAC system handles both heating and cooling, and when one part of it fails, the whole system suffers. In Lakeway, where lake proximity adds humidity to the equation, HVAC components can corrode or wear faster than expected. We diagnose the full system, not just the obvious symptom, to make sure we fix the actual cause rather than just the result.
Learn MoreHeat Pump Repair
Heat pumps are common in newer Lakeway builds and are an efficient choice for Texas climates — but they do require specific expertise to repair correctly. A heat pump that's blowing lukewarm air, running constantly, or tripping breakers needs a technician who understands how the refrigerant cycle interacts with heating mode. We diagnose heat pump issues accurately and repair them without unnecessary part replacements.
Learn MoreThermostat Repair and Replacement
A faulty thermostat can make a perfectly functional heating system behave erratically, cycling too frequently, failing to reach the set temperature, or not turning on at all. In Lakeway homes with older wiring, thermostat issues can sometimes trace back to corroded low-voltage connections rather than the thermostat itself. We track down the root cause and make sure your new or repaired thermostat communicates reliably with your heating equipment.
Heat Exchanger Inspection and Repair
A cracked heat exchanger is one of the most serious issues a gas furnace can develop, allowing combustion gases to mix with the air circulating through your home. Lakeway homes with furnaces that are 15 years or older are particularly worth having inspected, as heat exchangers wear with age and thermal cycling. We inspect heat exchangers thoroughly and give you a clear, honest assessment of what we find.
Ignitor and Pilot Light Repair
If your furnace clicks but doesn't light, or if you're seeing an error code related to ignition, the ignitor or flame sensor is often the culprit. These are relatively common repairs on older gas furnaces in Lakeway homes, and when the right part is on hand, it's frequently a same-day fix. We don't replace parts that don't need replacing — we test each component and only swap what's actually failed.
Blower Motor Repair
The blower motor is what moves warm air from your furnace or air handler through your home's duct system. When it starts failing, you may notice weak airflow, unusual humming or squealing sounds, or a system that overheats and shuts itself off. In homes near Lake Travis, motor bearings can degrade faster due to humidity, making blower issues more common than in drier climates.
Ductwork Inspection and Repair
Leaky or disconnected ductwork wastes a significant amount of the heat your system produces, sending it into your attic or crawl space instead of your living areas. In older Lakeway homes, duct connections and seals have often degraded over decades, and in newer construction, installation shortcuts sometimes leave gaps that were never sealed properly. We inspect ductwork and repair leaks that are costing you money on every heating bill.
Emergency Heating Repairs
A heating system failure doesn't always happen during business hours, and on a cold night in Lakeway, waiting until morning isn't always reasonable — especially if you have young children or elderly family members in the home. Cold is on the Right offers emergency heating repair service so you're not left without heat when you need it most. Call us and we'll get a technician out to you as quickly as possible.

We Know Lakeway Homes
Lakeway is one of those communities where you might work on a 1978 ranch-style home with an original-era air handler sitting in the garage and a brand-new build two streets over with a high-efficiency heat pump and a smart thermostat. That range of equipment means a technician has to show up knowing how to read both situations without assumptions. We've spent years working throughout Lakeway and recognize the patterns: the older systems that have been patched along the way and are getting close to the end, and the newer installs that sometimes cut corners during the construction boom years.
Being near Lake Travis adds a layer of wear to HVAC equipment that homeowners don't always expect. Moisture in the air accelerates corrosion on heat exchangers, electrical terminals, and coil fins in ways that take inland homeowners by surprise when they see the repair estimate. We factor that in when we evaluate your system, and we're honest with you about what the condition of your equipment actually means for its remaining lifespan. Lakeway is a community built on long-term relationships, and that's exactly how we want to work with the people who live here.

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!
