Dryer Notes for Brady, TX
Most dryer calls in Brady 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 counts as plumbing in Texas and requires a plumbing license, with an exemption for LP gas installers who hold a separate state LP gas license. Source: Plumbing License Law, Tex. Occ. Code ch. 1301, §§1301.002, 1301.055 (Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners)
Texas has no separate appliance repair license; under the Plumbing License Law, appliance dealers and their employees may install and service appliances (other than water heaters) without a plumbing license when hooking up to existing openings with a code-approved appliance connector, while other gas or water piping work generally requires a plumbing license.
