Handyman work and appliance repair share a problem: the individual job is small and the customer, handled well, comes back for years. Buying leads for either at prices set by remodelling trades makes no sense, and nothing in this record publishes a figure for either.
The ticket problem
A handyman visit or an appliance repair is a modest invoice, and the published exclusive tiers in this record, $100 for an HVAC repair enquiry through to $225 and above for siding, all price much larger jobs. Applying them here would give an absurd answer. The only band these enquiries fall inside is the general aged home service range published at $.10 to $1.50 a lead, which describes a list rather than a live enquiry.
Why exclusivity matters more than usual
Small-ticket urgent work goes to whoever answers, and a shared appliance repair enquiry sold to three companies is a race for a job worth a couple of hundred dollars. That makes shared inventory poor value here even at half price, and it is why exclusive appliance repair leads are worth asking for specifically rather than accepting a blended feed.
The repeat customer is the business
A household that calls the same handyman for four small jobs a year, or the same repair company for every appliance in the house, is worth many multiples of the first visit. That is the figure a lead price should be compared against, and it is the reason a slightly expensive lead can be perfectly sound in these trades while an identical price would be indefensible on a one-off job.
Questions people ask about handyman lead generation
What do handyman leads cost?
No source in this record publishes a handyman figure. These enquiries fall inside the general aged home service band of $.10 to $1.50, which describes a list rather than a live enquiry.
Are exclusive appliance repair leads worth asking for?
Yes. Small-ticket urgent work goes to whoever answers, so a shared enquiry is a race for a modest job and poor value even at half the price.
How should I price a handyman lead?
Against the lifetime of the household rather than the first visit. A customer who calls four times a year is worth many multiples of one job.
Do the published trade prices apply here?
No. Every published tier in this record prices much larger jobs, and borrowing one for a small-ticket trade produces an obviously wrong answer.
