What Stafford Springs Owners Should Know
Most dryer calls in Stafford Springs 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.
Installing, repairing and maintaining gas piping and approved gas appliances requires a state heating, piping and cooling license (such as the G-1/G-2 gas license or a broader B, D or S license) issued through the Department of Consumer Protection.

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.
