You can buy a pressure washer today for an average cost of $246. Gas pressure washers are the most expensive type, with an average price of $379. Battery-powered pressure washers cost $182 on average. Electric pressure washers cost an average of $167.

That's good money and a lot of time off to enjoy it. In this guide, we'll walk you through how to start a pressure washing business.

Since power washing uses heated water, it requires more expensive equipment, meaning you'll pay more for power washing. However, you get what you pay for in this case—especially if you have tough dirt and stains you want to quickly remove from concrete surfaces or other durable materials.

The only difference is heat. A pressure washer uses high pressure to output water powerfully in order to wash away grime, dirt and even paint. A power washer does the same thing, but uses heated water.
