Appliance Repair in Coeur d’Alene, ID
Owner-Operated | Same Rate as Spokane, No Distance Surcharge | Open 7 Days | Bonded and Insured
If the refrigerator in a 1970s house off Sherman has gone warm, the washer in a rental downtown will not drain, or the dishwasher in a lake-season place has quit the week before guests arrive, you are on the right page.
Coeur d’Alene is about forty-five minutes east of the South Hill, and it is charged at exactly the same rate as a job ten minutes away. In his own words, the rate is the same here as in Spokane, on a service call and on the repair that follows, and he will take any job.
SD Appliance is Sergei Dergunov, working out of the South Hill since 2020 and repairing appliances since 2013. Call (509) 866-6767.
The oldest housing stock in Kootenai County, and the most rented
Coeur d’Alene is the one city on the Idaho side of this map that does not look like the rest. The median home here was built in 1994, which sounds recent until you look at the tails: 35 percent of the housing predates 1980, and nearly 9 percent predates 1940. Post Falls and Rathdrum have almost nothing that old.
It is also the most rented of the four. About 41 percent of occupied homes here are rented, compared with 23 percent in Rathdrum and 25 percent in Hayden, and household income runs roughly $9,500 below the Kootenai County figure rather than above it.
For appliance work, that mix produces the widest range of any city on the list. A pre-war house near the Fort Grounds and a post-2000 build in the River District are two completely different service calls, and about four in ten of them are on properties the owner does not live in.
Older machines usually fail mechanically, which means a cheap part and a repair that is obviously worth doing. Newer ones fail at a board or a sensor, where the diagnosis is most of the job. You get told which one you are looking at before anything is spent.
A city with real neighborhoods, and a rental season
Coeur d’Alene publishes more named areas than the other three Idaho cities put together, which is why this is the one page where naming them is useful rather than decorative.
The adopted comprehensive plan names Downtown, Midtown, the Garden District, the Fort Grounds and East Sherman. The city's redevelopment agency adds the River District, the Atlas District and the Health Corridor. All of them are covered at one rate.
The other thing that shapes the work here is the season. The city's own plan describes Coeur d’Alene as a vacation destination heavily dependent on hospitality and tourism, and around 4 percent of housing here sits vacant for seasonal or occasional use, the highest share of the four.
That matters for one practical reason. An appliance in a property you do not live in tends to fail while somebody else is standing in front of it, and it tends to be found at the worst point in the calendar. If you own a short-term rental or a second home here, the part of the job that needs arranging is access and timing rather than the repair.
Getting across the state line
About 33 miles from the South Hill and somewhere around forty-five minutes, straight out I-90 to the US-95 exit.
Not a pricing boundary
The state line is not a pricing boundary. Idaho is charged at the same rate as anywhere else, with no distance surcharge and no minimum job size, and there is no separate Idaho rate card.
Scheduling, not price
What the drive changes is scheduling, not price. Coeur d’Alene is the far end of a run that already takes in Post Falls and Hayden, so whether today is realistic depends on the hour you call and where the day has got to. You get that answer straight on the phone rather than after you have booked.
Same run, same terms
Post Falls, Hayden, Rathdrum, Dalton Gardens, Hauser and State Line are separate places on the same run, and all of them are covered on the same terms.
Every appliance we repair in Coeur d’Alene
Everything he repairs at home in Spokane, he repairs at home in Coeur d’Alene. The details for each one, including what tends to fail and whether a repair is worth it, are on the appliance page.
What is not repaired, anywhere on the map
The list above is the whole of it. What falls outside is worth stating plainly, because it saves a phone call.
Repairs only, in your home
Repairs only, and always in the home the appliance already sits in. Appliances are not installed, a new unit is not fitted into cabinetry, and nothing is reconnected after a kitchen change. That holds for a downtown condo and a lake-season second home alike. The one exception anywhere on the site is a like-for-like garbage disposal swap.
Residential only
Residential only. In his words, no commercial at all. Houses, condos, apartment units and rental properties are all residential work, and with four in ten homes here rented that covers most of what comes in. Commercial kitchens, restaurants and commercial refrigeration are not taken on, and a hotel or a restaurant on Sherman is not a job for this van.
No shop, no drop-off, no factory authorization
There is no shop and no drop-off, so nothing gets carried anywhere. There is also no factory authorization here, which means manufacturer-warranty repairs are not performed. If your appliance is still under its manufacturer’s warranty, you will be told to use that coverage rather than being sold a repair you could have had for free.
What people say about the work
Every review below is a real Google review, unedited. They come from across the Spokane and Coeur d’Alene service area.
Booking a visit in Coeur d’Alene
The call comes to Sergei rather than a booking service. There is no call center and no dispatcher, so you are talking to the person who will make the drive. Across a state line and forty-five minutes of I-90 the description earns its keep: the brand, the model number if you can find it, and what the appliance is actually doing often settle what goes on the van before it leaves.
Common parts ride on the van. Anything less common is ordered in, and nothing gets ordered without your approval of the part and the price. Local counter stock for appliance parts is thin, so anything less common comes from out of town and takes a few business days.
The same person diagnoses it, prices it and does the work, on the first visit and again on the return visit if a part has to be ordered. Nobody hands the job to a subcontractor at the state line.
What the visit costs
The same $89 thirty-three miles out in Idaho as ten minutes from the shop. It covers travel, inspection and diagnostic time, goes toward the repair if you go ahead, and stands on its own if you decide not to.
Flat, upfront pricing
Once the fault is known, you get a flat price for the repair before any work starts. The price quoted is the price paid. It does not go up because the job took longer than expected or because the part was harder to reach than it looked.
30 to 90 day warranty
Parts and labor are warranted for 30 to 90 days as stated on your invoice. The full terms, exclusions included, are on the warranty page.
No weekend or holiday premium
There is no weekend or holiday premium. A Saturday, a Sunday or a holiday is billed like a weekday.
Financing & military discount
Zero-interest financing through Wisetack is available on repairs over $500 for eligible customers, and active-duty service members and veterans get 15% off labor. Terms are on the financing page.
Questions people in Coeur d’Alene ask
No. Idaho is charged at the same rate as anywhere else, with no distance surcharge and no minimum job size.
Yes, along with Downtown, East Sherman, the River District and everywhere else inside the city. There is no zone pricing in Coeur d’Alene.
Yes, within reason, and it works best if you say so when you call and give the access arrangement at the same time. Rental and second-home work is normal. There is more on the property management page.
Often yes. On an older machine the failure is usually mechanical and the part is cheap, which makes the math straightforward. There is more on the repair or replace page.
Yes, on the brands listed on the high-end appliance repair page. Sealed-system and refrigerant work is the one exception and is set out there.
Yes. Units inside condo and apartment buildings are residential work. Commercial kitchens and commercial refrigeration are not.
Yes, and they are often the more satisfying repairs. What decides it is what has failed and what the part costs, not the year on the plate.
