What Honesdale Owners Should Know
Most dryer calls in Honesdale 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.
There is no statewide plumbing or trade license in Pennsylvania, so any licensing for gas piping work is set by the municipality where the work happens (Philadelphia, for example, issues its own plumber licenses). Source: Contractor Licensing (Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry)
In Pennsylvania, you can check a license with the PA Office of Attorney General Home Improvement Contractor Registration Search or report a problem to the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General.
