What Upper Arlington Owners Should Know
Most dryer calls in Upper Arlington 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.
At the state level, the Ohio Construction Industry Licensing Board licenses commercial plumbing, hydronics and HVAC contractors; for residential work the state board may lack authority, and local building departments handle code compliance and any local contractor licensing.
