What Somerville Owners Should Know
Washer calls in Somerville most often involve drain pumps and filters, lid or door locks, inlet valves and worn suspension parts.
Massachusetts does not issue a separate appliance repair license; running fuel gas piping to appliances and installing their vent piping is gas fitting work that requires a license from the Board of State Examiners of Plumbers and Gas Fitters.

In Massachusetts, you can check a license with the Massachusetts Division of Occupational Licensure eLIPSE license verification portal or report a problem to the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office, Consumer Advocacy and Response Division.
Questions to Ask a Somerville Technician
- Do you work on gas dryers, and who handles anything involving the gas line?
- What guarantee do you give on parts and labor?
- Will you check the vent and lint path as part of the visit?
