What Savannah Owners Should Know
Most dryer calls in Savannah 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.
Gas piping and gas appliance installation permits are handled by local governments, some of which require their own gas fitter license; for example, Chattanooga requires a city Master Gas Fitter License to pull a gas permit. Source: City of Chattanooga: Gas Permit
In Tennessee, you can check a license with the Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance: Verify a License or report a problem to the Tennessee Division of Consumer Affairs (Office of the Attorney General).
