What Carson City Owners Should Know
Most dryer calls in Carson 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.
Installing gas supply piping and vents requires a Nevada State Contractors Board license in the C-1 plumbing and heating classification (for example the C-1d plumbing or C-1g gas pipes and vents subclassifications), and water heater installation and repair falls under subclassification C-1h.
