Local Notes for Franklin
Most dryer calls in Franklin 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.
Indiana licenses plumbers statewide through the Indiana Plumbing Commission but has no statewide HVAC technician license, so heating and mechanical contractor licensing, including gas appliance work, is set by individual counties and cities.
