Local Notes for East Falmouth
Most dryer calls in East Falmouth 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.
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.
