About Our HVAC Replacement in Spicewood
Spicewood sits in the rolling Hill Country west of Austin, where properties tend to be larger, older, and a lot more spread out than anything you'd find inside the city limits. Many homes out here run on well water and septic systems, and the HVAC units are often just as independent — some of them have been running for 15 or 20 years with minimal attention. That kind of longevity is admirable, but aging systems in this climate are quietly burning through energy and setting homeowners up for a costly breakdown. We come out to Spicewood regularly enough to know what's in these houses and what they need.
When we replace an HVAC system in Spicewood, we're not just swapping one box for another. We assess the ductwork, check airflow across the home's layout, and make sure the new unit is properly sized for the square footage — especially important in sprawling single-story homes with high ceilings that are common in this area. We use upfront pricing so you know exactly what the job costs before anything gets touched, and we carry the proper licensing and insurance to back up every installation we do.

HVAC Replacement Services We Provide in Spicewood
Full Central HVAC System Replacement
We replace complete central heating and cooling systems, including the air handler, outdoor condenser unit, and all associated components. Spicewood homes often have systems that are well past their expected lifespan, and a full replacement is typically the most cost-effective path forward. We size every new system to your home's actual square footage and layout so you're not paying to run an oversized or undersized unit.
Learn MoreAC Unit Replacement
Replacing just the air conditioning side of your system is a common need in Spicewood, where the cooling load runs heavy from April through October. We install high-efficiency AC units that can handle the demands of Hill Country summers without spiking your electric bill. If your current unit is struggling to keep up or has needed repeated repairs, replacement is usually the smarter investment.
Learn MoreFurnace Replacement
Winter nights in Spicewood get genuinely cold, and an aging furnace that's starting to cycle inconsistently is a reliability problem worth addressing before the season hits. We replace gas and electric furnaces with units designed for the temperature swings common in the Hill Country. A properly installed furnace also pairs better with your home's existing ductwork, reducing hot and cold spots.
Learn MoreHeat Pump Replacement
Heat pumps are an increasingly popular choice for Spicewood homes because they handle both heating and cooling efficiently in climates like ours. If your existing heat pump is more than 12 to 15 years old or has lost its ability to maintain temperature, it's time to look at a replacement. We install modern heat pump systems and make sure they're matched correctly to your home's insulation and square footage.
Learn MoreDuctwork Evaluation and Replacement
Old or damaged ductwork is one of the most overlooked reasons a new HVAC system underperforms. In Spicewood homes — especially those built in the 1980s and 1990s — duct connections can loosen over time, and flex duct in attics can develop kinks that block airflow. When we replace an HVAC system, we always evaluate the ducts to make sure your new equipment can actually do its job.
Air Handler Replacement
The air handler is the indoor component that moves conditioned air through your home, and it works in tandem with your outdoor unit. If only one side of your system has failed, replacing just the air handler is sometimes the right call — but we'll always give you an honest assessment of whether that makes sense versus replacing both units together. A mismatched system can reduce efficiency and shorten equipment life.
Thermostat Upgrade and Installation
A new thermostat may seem like a small thing, but it has a real impact on how well your HVAC system performs. Programmable and smart thermostats let you set schedules around your actual routine, which matters especially for Spicewood residents who may spend time away from their property. We install and configure thermostats as part of any system replacement so everything works together from day one.
HVAC System Sizing Assessment
Getting the size right is the single most important factor in a successful HVAC installation. An oversized unit short-cycles and leaves your home humid; an undersized one runs nonstop and still can't keep up. We perform a proper load calculation for your Spicewood property before recommending any equipment, accounting for ceiling heights, insulation levels, and the orientation of the home.
Indoor Air Quality Integration
When replacing an HVAC system, it's a good time to consider indoor air quality add-ons like whole-home air filtration, UV air purifiers, or whole-home dehumidifiers. Spicewood's Hill Country location brings in dust and pollen seasonally, and homes with older ductwork can accumulate particulates over the years. Adding these features during a system replacement is cleaner and more cost-effective than retrofitting later.
HVAC Maintenance Plan Setup
The best way to protect a new HVAC investment is to keep up with routine maintenance. After replacing your system, we can set you up on a maintenance schedule that keeps filters changed, coils cleaned, and refrigerant levels verified before the heavy season hits. For Spicewood homeowners who want peace of mind without having to remember when service is due, a maintenance plan is worth every dollar.
Learn MoreEmergency HVAC Replacement
Sometimes a system doesn't slowly decline — it just stops. If your HVAC unit dies on a 100-degree day and can't be repaired, we offer emergency replacement service to get you taken care of as quickly as possible. We understand that being without air conditioning in Spicewood isn't just uncomfortable, and we prioritize getting you a working system without cutting corners on the installation.

Signs You Need HVAC Replacement in Spicewood

- The system runs almost constantly but still can't keep the house comfortable during peak summer heat

We Know Spicewood Homes
Spicewood is a different kind of place to work than the suburbs closer to Austin. Properties out here range from modest ranch-style homes built in the 1970s and 1980s to newer custom builds on larger lots along the lake and the canyons. The older homes typically have original ductwork that's never been touched, and the HVAC units in them have often been running on borrowed time for years. That combination of aging infrastructure and hard Hill Country use is something we've dealt with enough times to know exactly what to look for when we walk through the door.
The remoteness of Spicewood also shapes how we approach every job. When you're 30 or 40 minutes from the nearest hardware supply, there's no running back for a part you didn't bring. Our technicians come prepared, know the equipment they're installing inside and out, and take the time to do it right the first visit. Spicewood homeowners have told us that finding a contractor they can actually trust to follow through is harder than it sounds — that's exactly the reputation we work to earn on every job.

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!
