Cleaning air conditioners

So…I cleaned windows in a house last week for a woman who is a real estate agent. She owns this and tell others…These houses are summer rentals… She will want me to do them at least 3 times a year. Today she texted me that she wants the 2nd house done… And added this… While you’re there, can you possibly clean the 3 air conditioners in the windows? I’ll pay you!.. So…I like money… And I’m thinking 10 bucks a piece?.. Is that too low of a charge?.. She has at least 3 in each property that she wants done…

Have any of you done odd jobs like that? Is 10 bucks each a fair price? … I have no clue lol

I figure… Keep her happy and the referrals will pour in… As I’ve already gotten one referral from her.

Perfect job for the furry Unger pads. But if it’s second story might want to charge more.

They are real easy… Window type and I can pull them right out…

I would ask her to be more specific, as to what she wants you to do . Is it just to un-dust the top and wipe ? Or pull out or clean the coils ? I would get more info . If it just clean the top , that literally takes seconds .

that’s the first thing that popped in my head as well.

I was thinking the filter but yeah better ask what needs to be cleaned on it.

Taking off the shell and cleaning inside the units… Not a deep clean… No taking apart and internal parts… Just clean inside good…Honestly, I do it to my own every year… it’s not hard work. . Won’t take too long… And I decided to price high…told her 25 bucks per unit. She has 6 of them … they are pretty small… maybe 5000Btu… If she takes them somewhere to be serviced it would be a lot more… I can live with making an extra 150 bucks. … She said go for it!

Sorry guys…I should have been more specific…

hey if you feel that you could get them done in a decent amount of time. go for it and good for you on the extra 150 bucks!

I think it was a good call. 25 is fair esp since you do it your own yearly. And shes a connection so no need to break her bank
