About Our HVAC Repair in Pflugerville

Pflugerville has grown fast, but a huge portion of the housing stock was built in the 1990s and early 2000s — and those homes are now home to HVAC systems that are pushing 15 to 25 years old. That age range is right where equipment starts to show its wear: failing capacitors, refrigerant leaks, cracked heat exchangers, and compressors running on borrowed time. At Cold is on the Right, we know these systems well and we know how to tell you honestly whether a repair makes sense or whether a replacement will save you more money down the road.

We also work regularly in Pflugerville's newer subdivisions, where builders sometimes cut corners on ductwork or equipment sizing to hit a price point. If your newer home is struggling to maintain temperature or running constantly, it's not always a broken part — sometimes it's a system that was never set up right. Either way, we'll figure out what's actually going on and fix it properly.

HVAC Repair Services We Provide in Pflugerville

AC Repair

When your air conditioner stops cooling, every hour matters in a Pflugerville summer. We diagnose and repair issues including failed capacitors, refrigerant leaks, frozen coils, and faulty contactors — getting your system back up and running as quickly as possible. Most repairs can be completed in a single visit.

Furnace Repair

Central Texas winters can be unpredictable, and a furnace that won't fire leaves your family uncomfortable in a hurry. We service gas and electric furnaces common in Pflugerville's 1990s and 2000s-era homes, addressing issues like ignitor failures, cracked heat exchangers, and blower motor problems. We'll get your heat restored and make sure the system is running safely.

Heat Pump Repair

Heat pumps are increasingly common in Pflugerville's newer developments and are efficient for our mild winters — but they have unique failure points that require specialized knowledge to diagnose correctly. We troubleshoot reversing valve issues, refrigerant problems, and defrost cycle failures to restore both your heating and cooling. If your heat pump is blowing the wrong temperature air, we can find out why.

Heating Repairs

From older gas systems in established Pflugerville neighborhoods to electric heating in newer builds, we handle the full range of heating repair needs. When temperatures drop and your system isn't keeping up, we diagnose the root cause rather than applying a temporary fix. Our technicians carry common parts on the truck to handle most heating repairs on the spot.

HVAC Maintenance

Routine maintenance is the single best way to extend the life of an aging HVAC system, which matters a lot in Pflugerville where many homes are running equipment installed in the late 1990s. A tune-up catches small issues before they become expensive breakdowns, and a clean, well-maintained system runs more efficiently — lowering your monthly utility bills. We recommend scheduling maintenance in the spring and fall before peak season demand hits.

HVAC Replacement

Sometimes a repair isn't the right financial move, especially on a system that's 18 or 20 years old and already had multiple service calls. We give you an honest assessment of whether your system is worth fixing or whether a replacement will cost you less over the next five years. If replacement is the right call, we'll walk you through equipment options that fit your home's size and your budget.

Refrigerant Leak Detection and Recharge

Low refrigerant is one of the most common reasons Pflugerville homeowners notice their AC running constantly but not cooling properly. Simply topping off the refrigerant without finding the leak is a short-term fix that will leave you calling again next summer. We locate the source of the leak, repair it, and recharge the system to the correct level so your AC actually performs the way it should.

Capacitor and Contactor Replacement

Capacitors and contactors are small components that fail regularly in Texas heat, and they're responsible for a surprising number of AC breakdowns during summer. These parts take a beating from the extreme temperatures and constant on-off cycling that Pflugerville's hot summers demand. Replacing them is a straightforward repair, but one that requires a licensed technician to handle safely.

Blower Motor Repair and Replacement

If your system is running but airflow through the vents feels weak, the blower motor is often the culprit — especially in systems that are 15-plus years old. A failing blower motor makes your HVAC work harder to push air through your home, driving up energy costs and accelerating wear on other components. We can test the motor, determine whether it can be repaired, and replace it if needed to restore proper airflow.

Thermostat Repair and Replacement

A malfunctioning thermostat can make a perfectly good HVAC system behave like it's broken — short cycling, failing to reach the set temperature, or not turning on at all. We diagnose thermostat wiring issues, calibration problems, and compatibility issues between older thermostats and upgraded HVAC equipment. If a new smart thermostat is the right solution, we'll install it and make sure it's communicating correctly with your system.

Ductwork Inspection and Repair

Leaky or poorly designed ductwork is a real issue in both older Pflugerville homes and newer builds where duct systems weren't always installed with care. If one room in your house is consistently hotter or colder than the rest, or your system runs for long stretches without hitting the set temperature, the ducts deserve a close look. We inspect, seal, and repair ductwork to make sure conditioned air actually reaches the rooms you're trying to cool or heat.

We Know Pflugerville Homes

A big part of Pflugerville's housing stock was built during the suburban expansion of the 1990s and early 2000s, and those homes are now at the age where original HVAC equipment is starting to fail in predictable ways. We see a lot of R-22 systems that are well past their prime, ductwork that has developed leaks over decades of temperature cycling, and capacitors that simply can't hold up through another Texas summer. Knowing what to expect from these homes means we can diagnose problems faster and give you a more accurate picture of what you're dealing with.

Pflugerville also continues to grow, and the newer subdivisions going up around town bring a different set of issues — equipment that was sized or installed to meet a builder's budget rather than your home's actual needs. Our technicians work across all of it, from the established neighborhoods off Wells Branch Parkway to the newer developments near SH-130, and that range of experience means we're not guessing when we walk through your door.

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 repair typically cost in Pflugerville?
The cost of HVAC repair in Pflugerville varies depending on what's wrong with the system. Minor repairs like a capacitor or contactor replacement might run $150 to $350. More involved repairs like a blower motor, refrigerant leak repair with recharge, or a faulty reversing valve on a heat pump can range from $400 to $800 or more. A full diagnostic visit typically includes a service fee that gets applied toward the repair cost if you move forward. We always give you the price upfront before starting any work so there are no surprises.
My AC is running but not cooling the house — what's going on?
This is one of the most common complaints we hear from Pflugerville homeowners, especially in summer. The most frequent causes are low refrigerant due to a leak, a dirty or frozen evaporator coil, a failing compressor, or a system that's undersized for the home. In some cases, leaky ductwork is letting conditioned air escape before it reaches the living space. A technician needs to diagnose the system to pinpoint the exact cause — running low on refrigerant and having a frozen coil can look similar from inside the house but require different fixes.
How long does an HVAC repair usually take?
Most standard HVAC repairs in Pflugerville can be completed in a single visit, which typically takes one to three hours depending on the issue. If we need to order a specific part that isn't on the truck, there may be a short delay of one to two days, but we carry the most common replacement components so that's less frequent than you might expect. After completing the repair, we run the system through a full test cycle before leaving to confirm everything is working correctly. We'll always give you a realistic time estimate before we start.
My Pflugerville home was built in the late 1990s — should I repair or replace my HVAC system?
This is a question we get a lot given Pflugerville's housing stock, and the honest answer depends on the specific condition of your system. If your unit is 18 to 25 years old and has already needed multiple repairs, replacement often makes more financial sense than continuing to pour money into aging equipment. A good rule of thumb is the 5,000 rule: multiply the age of the system by the estimated repair cost, and if that number exceeds $5,000, replacement is usually the smarter investment. We'll give you an honest assessment either way and won't push you toward a replacement if a repair is genuinely the better option.
Do you offer emergency HVAC repair in Pflugerville?
Yes, we offer emergency HVAC repair service for Pflugerville homeowners. When your AC goes out during a Texas summer heat wave or your heat stops working on a cold night, waiting isn't always an option, especially for households with elderly family members, young children, or pets. Give us a call and we'll get a technician out to you as quickly as possible. Emergency service availability may vary, so contact us right away if you're dealing with a situation that can't wait.
Why is my HVAC system short cycling — turning on and off every few minutes?
Short cycling is a sign that something is wrong and it's worth addressing quickly because it puts serious wear on your compressor. Common causes include a refrigerant leak, an oversized system that heats or cools the space too fast and shuts off before completing a full cycle, a dirty air filter restricting airflow, a failing thermostat giving incorrect readings, or an overheating component triggering a safety shutoff. In Pflugerville's older homes, we also sometimes see this caused by a system that was improperly sized when the house was built. A technician can run through the diagnostics to identify the specific cause and get it corrected before the compressor sustains damage.
