Our process
HowwecleanaresidentialHVACsystem.
Indoor evaporator + outdoor condenser. Both halves matter.
1
Power off & access
Cut power at the disconnect. Remove access panels on the air handler and unscrew the condenser top grill for full access to both coil sets.
2
Condenser coil clean
Outdoor unit: gently straighten bent fins, then clean with foam coil cleaner and rinse with controlled water pressure. No more pollen and pine dust.
3
Evaporator coil clean
Indoor unit: apply no-rinse evaporator cleaner. The cleaner foams, dissolves the buildup, and drains into the condensate pan.
4
Condensate drain
Clear the condensate line of slime and algae. A clogged drain is the #1 cause of summer AC water leaks.
5
Filter inspection
Inspect your current filter. Recommend replacement if needed, and tell you exactly which to buy (size and MERV).
6
Power on & verify
Restore power. Let the system run a full cycle. Verify temperature differential, airflow, and no leaks before we leave.

Common questions
HVACcoilcleaning,answered.
How much does HVAC coil cleaning cost in Coeur d'Alene?
Ignite charges a flat $130 for a residential HVAC coil cleaning across Coeur d'Alene, Hayden, Post Falls, and Spokane Valley. Multi-zone homes with two or more air handlers are quoted separately, usually $90/system after the first.
How often should HVAC coils be cleaned in Coeur d'Alene?
Once a year, ideally in late spring before the cooling season ramps up. Coeur d'Alene's pine pollen and dust make annual cleaning even more important than in many climates. Homes with pets or near construction zones should consider twice a year.
Will this actually lower my electric bill?
Yes. Measurably. EPA and DOE studies show coil cleaning can reduce AC energy use by 15 to 30%. For a typical Coeur d'Alene home running AC May through September, that's $120 to $280 in savings per cooling season. Service pays for itself the first summer.
Do you repair HVAC systems too?
No. We clean. If we find a problem during service (refrigerant leak, failing capacitor, worn contactor), we'll flag it and you can call your HVAC tech. We stay in our lane.
How long does the cleaning take?
About 90 minutes for a standard single-system home. Larger luxury homes with multiple air handlers can run 2.5 to 3 hours.
Will it damage my system?
No. We use foam evaporator cleaners that are specifically formulated for residential AC coils, same products HVAC techs use. No aggressive pressure washing on aluminum fins. Controlled water rinse only on the outdoor condenser.
