Local Notes for Pasadena
Most dryer calls in Pasadena 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, ยงยง1301.002, 1301.055 (Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners)
In Texas, you can check a license with the Texas plumbing Public License Search or report a problem to the Texas Attorney General, Consumer Protection Division.
