Local Notes for Moab
Most dryer calls in Moab 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 appliance and combustion system work, starting at the outlet of the gas meter, falls under DOPL's construction trades licensing, and the qualifier for an HVAC contractor license must be a Certified Natural Gas Technician. Source: DOPL Contractor Classifications
Utah has no contractor classification for appliance repair, but under the Construction Trades Licensing Act anyone who installs, repairs or replaces a residential or commercial gas appliance must hold natural gas technician certification, even on jobs otherwise too small to need a contractor license.
