About Our AC Replacement Services in Spicewood
Spicewood properties come with their own set of challenges. Many homes sit on large lots with longer duct runs, detached structures, or additions that were built over time without a consistent HVAC plan. Older units that once handled a modest square footage are now being asked to cool expanded living spaces under increasingly intense Texas summers. When a system can no longer keep up, replacement isn't just a convenience — it's the practical move that protects your home and your wallet long-term.
Cold is on the Right approaches every AC replacement in Spicewood with a full assessment of what the home actually needs. We look at square footage, ceiling heights, insulation quality, duct condition, and how your home handles heat load before recommending any equipment. Our technicians are licensed, experienced, and familiar with the kinds of homes out this way. You get upfront pricing before we touch anything, and we don't leave until the new system is tested and performing the way it should.

AC Replacement Services We Provide in Spicewood
System Evaluation and Right-Sizing
Before any equipment is ordered, we perform a thorough assessment of your home's cooling needs. Spicewood homes often have unusual footprints — additions, outbuildings, vaulted ceilings — and the wrong size unit will short-cycle or run constantly without ever hitting your setpoint. We size the new system based on what your home actually demands, not just what was there before.
New AC System Installation
We install new central air conditioning systems from the ground up, handling refrigerant lines, electrical connections, condensate drainage, and airflow balancing. In Spicewood, where the nearest service call can take longer than in town, getting the installation right the first time isn't optional — it's the whole point. We test every system before we leave the property.
AC Repair and Service
Sometimes a full replacement isn't necessary, and we'll tell you honestly if that's the case. We service and repair all major AC brands and can often extend the life of a struggling system with targeted repairs. If repair costs are climbing toward replacement territory, we'll walk you through the numbers so you can make the call yourself.
HVAC System Replacement
If both your air conditioning and heating systems are aging together, replacing the full HVAC system at once is often more cost-effective and more efficient than replacing components separately. We handle complete HVAC replacement for Spicewood homes, including new air handlers, outdoor units, and all associated connections.
Heat Pump Replacement
Heat pumps are an increasingly popular option for Hill Country homes that need both heating and cooling without a separate furnace. We replace aging or failed heat pump systems and can help you evaluate whether switching to a heat pump setup makes sense for your property and energy goals.
Ductwork Inspection and Repair
A new AC unit paired with leaking or undersized ductwork will never perform the way it should. We inspect existing ductwork as part of every replacement job and address any gaps, collapses, or airflow restrictions before the new system goes in. For Spicewood homes with older construction or DIY additions, this step often makes a significant difference in comfort.
Thermostat Upgrade and Integration
Replacing your AC is a natural time to upgrade your thermostat as well. We install and configure smart thermostats that give you better control over your system, reduce runtime during peak heat hours, and help lower your energy bills. For Spicewood homeowners on well water and septic, managing energy use efficiently matters.
Cooling System Upgrades
If your current system is functional but outdated, a targeted upgrade — new coils, variable-speed components, or improved refrigerant handling — can meaningfully improve efficiency without a full replacement. We assess what's worth upgrading and what's better left to a full system swap, and we give you an honest recommendation either way.
Post-Installation Performance Testing
Every AC replacement we complete in Spicewood includes a full performance verification before we close out the job. We check refrigerant charge, airflow at every register, electrical draw, and thermostat calibration. You should know your new system is actually working correctly before we drive back down the road.
Preventative Maintenance Plans
After your new system is in, a seasonal maintenance plan keeps it running at peak efficiency and catches small issues before they become expensive failures. Given how far out Spicewood sits from Austin's core, staying ahead of problems with scheduled maintenance is a smart investment in your comfort and your equipment.
Emergency AC Service
When your system fails in the middle of a Texas summer and you're out on acreage with no quick alternatives, you need someone who will actually show up. Cold is on the Right offers emergency HVAC service for Spicewood homeowners, and we treat every call with the urgency it deserves.

We Know Spicewood Homes
Spicewood is a different animal from a typical Austin suburb. Homes out here tend to be spread across large lots, many with well water, septic systems, and HVAC setups that were installed years ago by whoever was willing to make the drive. We see a lot of older systems that were sized for a smaller footprint and never updated as homes were expanded. We also see new custom builds where the original installation was rushed or the equipment spec'd without accounting for the way Hill Country heat radiates off limestone and cedar.
When we come out to a Spicewood property, we're not just looking at the unit — we're thinking about the whole picture. How well is the structure insulated? Are the ducts in reasonable shape? Is the location of the outdoor unit going to create problems in direct afternoon sun? That familiarity with how these properties actually work is what makes the difference between an installation that performs and one that disappoints. We know the area, we respect the drive, and we do the job right so we don't have to come back unnecessarily.

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!
