Around Royal Kunia

Hawaii has no appliance repair license classification; the Contractors License Board's specialty classifications cover related trades such as plumbing (including fuel gas piping), refrigeration, and ventilating and air conditioning, and a contractor license applies to jobs that need a building, electrical or plumbing permit.
