Oregon has no license issued specifically for appliance repair that we could confirm, but anyone installing or servicing liquefied petroleum (LP) gas appliances needs an LP gas fitter license from the Oregon State Fire Marshal. Source: Liquefied Petroleum Gas licensing (Oregon State Fire Marshal)
Businesses that install, alter or repair LP gas appliances, piping or vent connections need an LP gas installation license, and the individuals doing the work need a fitter license, both from the Oregon State Fire Marshal; natural gas licensing was not confirmed.
