About Our Furnace Replacement in Spicewood
Spicewood sits far enough west of Austin that a bad furnace isn't just an inconvenience — it's a real problem. Acreage properties out here tend to be larger and harder to heat, with sprawling floor plans, high ceilings, and older construction that wasn't always built with efficiency in mind. Cold is on the Right Plumbing & Air has experience working with the full range of Spicewood homes, from Hill Country ranch houses on multiple acres to newer lakeside builds near Lake Travis. We take the time to assess your space properly before recommending any system, so you're not paying for more capacity than you need or limping along with something undersized.
Out here, you don't have the luxury of calling three different companies and waiting to see who shows up. When you schedule with Cold is on the Right, we come out, we assess honestly, and we tell you exactly what it'll cost before any work begins. Furnace replacement is a significant investment, and we treat it that way — walking you through your equipment options, explaining efficiency ratings in plain language, and making sure your new system is properly commissioned before we leave your property.

Furnace Replacement Services We Provide in Spicewood
Full Furnace Replacement
When your furnace is beyond repair — or repair costs no longer make financial sense — we handle complete system removal and new unit installation. We properly dispose of your old equipment, install the new furnace to manufacturer specs, and test every component before we leave. For Spicewood homes on acreage, we pay close attention to sizing and duct compatibility so your new system actually performs the way it should.
Learn MoreHigh-Efficiency Gas Furnace Installation
Modern high-efficiency furnaces can dramatically cut your heating bills compared to systems installed more than ten years ago. We install units with AFUE ratings of 90% and above — units that extract more heat from every cubic foot of gas and run quieter than older equipment. For larger Spicewood properties where heating costs add up fast, the long-term savings on a high-efficiency unit can be significant.
Learn MoreFurnace and Air Handler Replacement
Sometimes replacing just the furnace isn't enough — if your air handler is aging alongside it, replacing both at once improves system compatibility and overall efficiency. We assess both components together and give you an honest recommendation on whether a paired replacement makes sense for your home. Running a mismatched system can reduce efficiency and shorten the life of your new equipment.
Learn MoreFull HVAC System Replacement
If your furnace and your air conditioning system are both reaching the end of their service life, a combined replacement is often the most cost-effective path. We can replace your entire heating and cooling system in a coordinated installation that minimizes disruption to your home. Out in Spicewood, coordinating a single visit for a full system replacement is far more practical than scheduling two separate jobs months apart.
Learn MorePropane Furnace Replacement
Many Spicewood properties run on propane rather than natural gas, and we're fully equipped to install and commission propane furnace systems. Propane furnaces require specific orifice configurations and pressure settings, and our technicians handle these details correctly every time. We'll also make sure your new system is compatible with your existing propane supply lines and tank setup.
Ductwork Assessment and Upgrade
A new furnace is only as good as the duct system it's pushing air through. Older Spicewood homes — especially those with additions or modifications over the years — often have undersized, leaky, or poorly routed ductwork that undermines even the best equipment. We inspect your existing ducts as part of every replacement job and let you know if upgrades are needed before you invest in new equipment.
Thermostat Replacement and Smart Thermostat Installation
Pairing your new furnace with a modern programmable or smart thermostat maximizes efficiency and gives you better control over your home's temperature. We install and configure smart thermostats that work seamlessly with your new system, including options that allow remote control from your phone — useful for Spicewood homeowners who travel or manage vacation properties near the lake.
Furnace Repair and Diagnostic Service
Not every furnace problem requires full replacement, and we'll always tell you honestly if a repair is the smarter call. Our technicians diagnose heating issues accurately so you're not replacing equipment that still has life left in it. If repairs are the right move, we handle those too — with the same upfront pricing and reliable service.
Learn MoreHeating System Repairs
Beyond the furnace itself, your home's heating system includes components like heat exchangers, ignitors, blower motors, and pressure switches that wear out over time. We diagnose and repair failures across the full system, not just the obvious parts. For Spicewood homes that may have gone years between professional service calls, a thorough repair visit can catch multiple issues at once.
Learn MorePost-Replacement System Commissioning
After your new furnace is installed, we run a full commissioning process to verify airflow, gas pressure, heat output, and safety controls are all operating within spec. This step is non-negotiable — a furnace that's improperly commissioned can underperform or create safety hazards. We don't consider a job complete until we've confirmed everything is running exactly as it should.
Seasonal Maintenance Plans
Protecting your investment means keeping up with annual maintenance, especially in a dusty, dry Hill Country environment where filters and components accumulate debris faster than in urban settings. We offer maintenance plans that keep your new furnace running efficiently year after year. Regular tune-ups also keep your manufacturer warranty valid, which matters when you're this far from the nearest HVAC supply house.

We Know Spicewood Homes
Spicewood is a different kind of service call. The properties out here tend to be spread out, with homes ranging from older ranch-style builds that have been added onto over decades to newer custom construction on lots with views across the Hill Country. Older homes in the area frequently have ductwork and HVAC equipment that hasn't been touched in twenty years, and the combination of dusty conditions, cedar and oak pollen, and temperature swings between seasons puts real stress on heating systems. When we walk into a Spicewood home, we're not surprised by what we find — we've seen it before.
The remoteness of this community is exactly why we take our work seriously out here. When you're on acreage with a well and a septic system, you've already learned that the contractors you trust have to get things right because there's no quick fix when something goes wrong. We bring that same mindset to every furnace replacement we do in Spicewood — proper sizing, clean installation, and a fully commissioned system before we drive back toward Austin.

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!
