Most certainly the market will dictate what you can charge. You may want to have a shopping list for your customer to choose from as well as a contract that stipulates exactly what services your rate provides.
Based on the type of system (direct draw or remote), additional equipment such as FOBs, glycol power packs, etc. - you could customize your fee to these variables at each account. An example would be to offer the account a glycol power pack service on a trimester schedule basis. This could be part of your shopping list. The service could entail condenser cleaning, temperature adjustments and glycol mixture refurbishing.
Possibly the system is a remote run of 125' and you will use more cleaning solution as well as additional time to clean. With this, you may want to charge more per faucet. Maybe the Fobs and couplers should be broken down and maintained on a quarterly basis. Offer this service for an additional fee on your shopping list.
The bottom line is don't just walk in and tell a retailer that I can clean your system for $6 a line and I'll do it better than whoever is doing it now. You will be leaving money on the table. Be a salesperson and build your business through selling features and benefits of your services. Clean correctly and professionally and you will gain referrals through testimonials
