What Boulder City Owners Should Know
Most dryer calls in Boulder City 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.
Nevada has no license class for appliance repair as such; contracting work on gas piping, gas vents and water heaters falls under the State Contractors Board's C-1 plumbing and heating subclassifications. Source: Nevada Administrative Code Chapter 624 (NAC 624.190)
