What Scottsdale Owners Should Know
Gas dryers in Scottsdale are typically served by Southwest Gas. If you ever smell gas near the dryer, leave the house and call the gas utility from outside before calling a repair company. Source: City of Scottsdale City Auditor - Southwest Gas Franchise Agreement audit
Arizona has no appliance-repair-specific license; work is regulated through Registrar of Contractors classifications, and state law removes the small-job (under $1,000) handyman exemption for any work connecting or repairing appliances on natural gas or propane.

In Arizona, you can check a license with the Arizona Registrar of Contractors Contractor Search or report a problem to the Arizona Attorney General Consumer Protection.
