What Columbus Owners Should Know
City of Columbus Department of Public Utilities, Division of Water, which supplies Columbus, reports hardness of about 120 ppm (roughly 7 grains per gallon); moderately hard. Minerals affect how detergent works and can build up on washer inlet screens, which is worth mentioning when you book a washer repair. Source: Water Hardness - City of Columbus, Ohio
Ohio has no state license for appliance repair; the Ohio Construction Industry Licensing Board licenses commercial contractors in plumbing, hydronics, refrigeration, HVAC and electrical, and residential contractor work is generally overseen locally.

In Ohio, you can check a license with the Ohio Department of Commerce OCILB Company Licensee Lookup or report a problem to the Ohio Attorney General, Consumer Protection Section.
