About Our HVAC Repair in Spicewood
Spicewood sits far enough from the city that a lot of homeowners have learned to vet their contractors carefully — because a technician who doesn't know the area or isn't prepared for the drive can waste a whole afternoon and leave your system still broken. At Cold is on the Right Plumbing & Air, we make the trip out here regularly and we treat every service call with the same urgency we'd give our own home. Whether you've got a decade-old unit on a lakeside property or a newer system that was installed as part of a custom build on a few acres, we come equipped to diagnose it fast and fix it right.
The conditions around Lake Travis and the broader Spicewood area put real stress on HVAC equipment. Extreme summer heat, dusty ranch roads, and temperature swings between seasons all add up. We see a lot of systems working harder than they should — sometimes because of improper installation, sometimes because they've been neglected longer than the homeowner realized. Our technicians know how to identify the root cause of the problem, not just the symptom, so you're not calling us back in three weeks with the same issue.

HVAC Repair Services We Provide in Spicewood
AC Repair
When your air conditioner stops cooling on a 100-degree Spicewood afternoon, every hour matters. We diagnose and repair all major AC brands and system types, from refrigerant leaks and compressor issues to failed capacitors and frozen evaporator coils. Our technicians come stocked with common parts so we can often complete the repair in a single visit.
Learn MoreFurnace Repair
Hill Country winters can be unpredictable, and a furnace that won't fire on a cold night is more than an inconvenience when you're living on acreage far from town. We repair gas and electric furnaces, addressing issues like faulty igniters, failed heat exchangers, blower motor problems, and thermostat malfunctions. Getting your heat back fast is our priority.
Learn MoreHeat Pump Repair
Heat pumps are popular in the Hill Country for their efficiency in our mild-to-hot climate, but they're not immune to problems. We repair heat pump systems experiencing reversing valve failures, refrigerant issues, defrost cycle problems, and more. If your system isn't heating or cooling the way it should, we'll identify the issue and restore it to full operation.
Learn MoreHeating Repairs
Whether you're running a traditional furnace, a heat pump, or a different heating setup on your Spicewood property, we handle all types of heating system repairs. Cold nights in the Hill Country can dip lower than people expect, and a heating system that's struggling to keep up deserves attention before it quits entirely. We troubleshoot the full system, not just the obvious part.
Learn MoreHVAC Maintenance
Out on acreage properties in Spicewood, HVAC systems often deal with more dust, pollen, and debris than equipment in suburban neighborhoods — especially during dry spells when the caliche roads and open fields kick up particulates. Regular maintenance keeps your filters, coils, and mechanical components in shape and catches small problems before they become expensive repairs. We offer maintenance plans that work around your schedule.
Learn MoreHVAC Replacement
When a repair isn't enough and it's time to replace your system, we'll walk you through your options honestly — matching the right equipment to your home's square footage, ductwork, and usage patterns. We install equipment from reliable manufacturers and we size systems correctly, because an oversized or undersized unit on a large Hill Country property causes comfort and efficiency problems down the road. If replacement is the right call, we'll tell you that upfront.
Learn MoreRefrigerant Leak Repair
Low refrigerant is one of the most common reasons an AC system stops cooling effectively, but it's always a symptom of a leak rather than a simple topping-off situation. We locate the source of the leak, make the repair, and recharge the system to the correct level. Running your system low on refrigerant causes compressor damage over time, so addressing this promptly protects your investment.
Ductwork Inspection and Repair
Many Spicewood properties have ductwork running through unconditioned attic spaces that reach extreme temperatures in summer, which accelerates deterioration and causes ducts to separate, develop leaks, or collapse. Leaky ducts can account for a significant portion of your cooling loss, making your system work harder than necessary. We inspect, seal, and repair ductwork to restore proper airflow throughout your home.
Thermostat Repair and Replacement
A malfunctioning thermostat can mimic all kinds of HVAC problems — inconsistent temperatures, short cycling, or a system that simply won't respond. We diagnose whether the issue is truly a thermostat problem or something deeper in the system, and we install and configure smart or programmable thermostats if an upgrade makes sense for your setup. Getting the thermostat right makes the whole system perform better.
Blower Motor Repair
If your HVAC system runs but you're not getting adequate airflow through your vents, a failing blower motor is often the cause. We repair and replace blower motors and associated components, restoring the airflow your system needs to properly condition the air in your home. On larger Spicewood properties with more square footage to cool or heat, a compromised blower motor makes a noticeable difference in comfort.
Capacitor and Contactor Replacement
Capacitors and contactors are small electrical components that take a beating in the Texas heat and are among the most common causes of AC system failures during peak summer. When your outdoor unit won't start or shuts off unexpectedly, these components are often the culprit. Replacing them is typically a quick fix, and our technicians carry them on the truck so we can get your system running again the same day.

We Know Spicewood Homes
Spicewood is a different kind of place to work compared to an Austin subdivision. The properties out here range from modest lakeside cabins near Lake Travis that have been in families for decades to newer custom homes on five or ten acres carved out of the cedar. Those older structures often have HVAC systems that have been serviced by whoever would make the drive, which sometimes means mismatched components, undersized equipment, or deferred maintenance that's been building up for years. When we come out to a property like that, we approach it with fresh eyes and real diagnostic work rather than a quick fix.
The Hill Country environment itself is a factor too. Cedar pollen, dust from unpaved driveways, and the heat load from wide-open land with little shade all push HVAC systems harder than the manufacturers' average ratings assume. We factor that in when we make recommendations, whether we're sizing a replacement system or advising on how frequently your filters need attention. Spicewood homeowners rely on contractors who actually understand the territory, and that's exactly what we bring every time we pull into your driveway.
Proudly Serving Spicewood and Surrounding Areas
Cold is on the Right Plumbing & Air makes the drive out to Spicewood and the surrounding Hill Country communities regularly — including Bee Cave, Lakeway, Dripping Springs, and Steiner Ranch. We understand that living west of Austin means you need contractors who are actually willing to come out and who show up prepared. If you're in the Lake Travis area or along the 71 corridor, we've got you covered.

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!
