What Las Cruces Owners Should Know
Most dryer calls in Las Cruces 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.
Natural gas piping and gas appliance work needs a Construction Industries Division MM-2 (natural gas fitting) or MM-98 (mechanical) license, with journeyman gas fitter certification for workers; the plumbing-only MM-1 class excludes gas appliances and gas piping, and LP gas systems fall under a separate LP gas classification.

In New Mexico, you can check a license with the NM Regulation and Licensing Department, Construction Industries: Verify a License or report a problem to the New Mexico Department of Justice (Attorney General), Consumer Protection.
