What Stamford Owners Should Know
Aquarion Water Company (Stamford System), which supplies Stamford, reports hardness of about 2-4 grains per gallon, averaging 3 (soft to moderately soft). Minerals affect how detergent works and can build up on washer inlet screens, which is worth mentioning when you book a washer repair.

Connecticut's Department of Consumer Protection does not list a separate appliance repair license; work on gas piping, approved gas appliances and refrigeration systems falls under its heating, piping and cooling license categories.
