Dryer Notes for Somerville, MA
Most dryer calls in Somerville 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.
Gas piping to appliances must be done by a licensed gas fitter or a licensed master or journeyman plumber, under a permit from the local inspector, with licensing by the Board of State Examiners of Plumbers and Gas Fitters. Source: Plumbers and gas fitters consumer fact sheet (Mass.gov)
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.
