What a Technician Checks on the Washer
The Dryer Side of the Call
Lint, Vents and Fire Safety

Around Medina

Minnesota has no state license for mechanical contractors or their workers; businesses contracting for gas, heating, cooling or refrigeration work file a mechanical contractor bond with the Department of Labor and Industry, and some cities require their own licenses or competency cards.
