What Milford Owners Should Know
Most dryer calls in Milford come down to the same handful of parts: the vent and lint path, the heat source, the belt and rollers, and the door and start switches.
Connecticut's Department of Consumer Protection does not list a separate appliance repair license; work on gas piping, approved gas appliances and refrigeration systems falls under its heating, piping and cooling license categories.
