If you know your way around a screwdriver and can tell a solenoid from a thermostat, appliance repair jobs on Airtasker is a money-making opportunity you shouldn’t sleep on. From kitchen disasters to laundry meltdowns, people across Australia are constantly posting repair jobs for someone who can fix it fast—without the slow wait times and big fees of traditional repair shops. Whether you’re a licensed tech or a savvy home tinkerer with real skills, this is a great way to earn real cash by helping people keep their appliances running.
These are your bread-and-butter tasks: busted washing machines, dodgy dishwashers, noisy dryers, fridges that aren’t cooling, ovens that won’t heat. Most households can’t function without these basics, so when something stops working, they’re happy to pay someone who can get it sorted quickly. Rates usually fall in the $100 to $250 range, depending on the problem and how long it takes to fix. If you’re quick, professional, and know what you’re doing, you can line up multiple of these jobs in a single day.
It’s not all white goods and heavy lifting. There’s a steady stream of jobs involving small appliances—think Nespresso machines, air fryers, vacuum cleaners, even old-school blenders. These aren’t always urgent, but they’re easy wins if you’ve got the tools and experience. Most repairs are quick, and because parts are cheap, your profit margin can be surprisingly good. Plus, customers love someone who saves them from tossing out an expensive appliance that just needs a new fuse or motor.
Not every job on Airtasker involves fixing something broken. Appliance installs are a great way to earn without the complexity of a full repair. New dishwashers, dryers, ovens, or fridges all need someone to hook them up properly. It’s often just a case of leveling, connecting hoses, and running a quick test. Most of these jobs pay between $80 and $180 and don’t require intensive labour. It’s especially popular work around Boxing Day sales, EOFY deals, and anytime someone’s moving house.
Here’s where things get lucrative. When someone’s fridge dies on a Sunday or their washing machine floods the laundry at 10pm, they’ll pay more for fast help. Being available for urgent or after-hours jobs can seriously boost your hourly rate—$300+ isn’t unusual if the timing’s right. If you’ve got the flexibility to take emergency jobs and the confidence to sort issues on the spot, this is where you earn above the average Tasker.
Split-system air conditioners, heaters, and portable climate control units are everywhere—and when the seasons turn, people suddenly remember they need servicing. Cleaning filters, diagnosing faults, and doing basic repairs are common requests, especially in hotter parts of Queensland and cooler suburbs in Victoria and the ACT. These jobs tend to surge before summer and winter, and with prices often in the $120 to $250 range, they’re a great way to fill your calendar during peak demand.
If you want to stay fully booked, it’s not just about knowing your craft—it’s about how you show up. Come prepared with common parts and proper tools so you can finish jobs in one visit. Be clear and upfront with your pricing, especially around call-out fees or parts. If you're certified (especially for electrical work), put that front and centre. Consider offering “quick check” deals or bundling multiple appliances into a flat rate to encourage bigger bookings. And as always, fast replies, on-time arrivals, and solid communication will help you rack up 5-star reviews and stay in the top pick for local tasks.
