Dryer Notes for Boston, MA
Gas dryers in Boston are typically served by National Grid (Boston Gas Company). If you ever smell gas near the dryer, leave the house and call the gas utility from outside before calling a repair company. Source: National Grid Gas Cities and Towns list (Mass.gov)
Massachusetts does not issue a separate appliance repair license; running fuel gas piping to appliances and installing their vent piping is gas fitting work that requires a license from the Board of State Examiners of Plumbers and Gas Fitters.

In Massachusetts, you can check a license with the Massachusetts Division of Occupational Licensure eLIPSE license verification portal or report a problem to the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office, Consumer Advocacy and Response Division.
