Dryer Notes for Elko, NV
Most dryer calls in Elko 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. Source: Nevada Administrative Code Chapter 624 (NAC 624.190)
In Nevada, you can check a license with the Nevada State Contractors Board License Search or report a problem to the Nevada Attorney General, Bureau of Consumer Protection.
