Local Notes for Tampa
City of Tampa Water Department (mainly Hillsborough River), which supplies Tampa, reports hardness of average total hardness about 186 mg/L (10.9 grains per gallon), hard. Hard water leaves scale on washer inlet screens and heating parts and calls for the right detergent dose, which is worth mentioning when you book a repair.

Florida's construction licensing guidance says that paid work such as installing a dishwasher connected to drinking water or replacing a water heater requires a licensed contractor, and that a local business tax receipt or certificate of competency may also apply; it does not describe a separate state appliance repair license.
