What Anaconda Owners Should Know
Most dryer calls in Anaconda 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.
Montana's plumber licensing law does not cover fuel gas piping; gas piping and gas appliance installations are handled through mechanical permits and inspections by the state Building Codes Program or certified local governments, under the International Fuel Gas Code.

In Montana, you can check a license with the Montana DLI Construction Contractor Registration Lookup or report a problem to the Montana Department of Justice, Office of Consumer Protection.
