When wildfire season rolls through the Inland Northwest, the smell of smoke isn’t just outside—it starts to settle indoors too. In Spokane, Coeur d’Alene, and surrounding communities, homeowners are feeling the effects of smoke, dust, and trapped air long after the fires are out. Whether you’re running a busy household, operating a local business, or welcoming guests to a short-term rental, clean indoor air is more than a luxury—it’s essential.
At Mainstream Electric, Heating, Cooling, and Plumbing, we understand that your HVAC system isn’t just about heating and cooling—it’s about the air you breathe. That’s why we offer air quality solutions designed to help you stay healthier, sleep better, and breathe easier—no matter what’s blowing in from the outside.
What’s in the Air Around Here? More Than You Might Think
Our beautiful region comes with some not-so-beautiful side effects: summer smoke from wildfires, winter air that stays sealed inside for months, and allergens that seem to hang in the air. Spokane’s air can go from crisp to compromised in a matter of days.
Here’s what that means for your home or business:
- Wildfire smoke can linger in your ductwork, irritating lungs and triggering allergies.
- Sealed homes in winter trap stale air, mold spores, and dust.
- Pets, wood-burning stoves, and older ventilation systems can make things worse.
- Post-COVID, guests and customers are more aware—and more sensitive—to air quality issues than ever before.
If you’ve noticed itchy eyes, more frequent sneezing, or that lingering “campfire” smell indoors, your HVAC system could be spreading more than just warm or cool air.
Not Just Filters—Real Air Quality Solutions that Work
There’s no single product that solves every air quality issue—and that’s where we come in.
Our team helps homeowners and business owners find the right combination of HVAC-compatible systems to improve indoor air. That might include:
- Whole-home air purifiers to remove smoke and allergens
- UV-C lights to kill mold spores and airborne pathogens
- HEPA-grade filters to trap the smallest particles
- Ionization systems that reduce odors and neutralize airborne irritants
These tools work with your existing HVAC system—and we’ll help you choose what makes sense based on your layout, square footage, and specific concerns.
We Follow the Trends—So You Don’t Have To
