What Louisville Owners Should Know
Louisville Water Company, which supplies Louisville, reports hardness of about 115 mg/L as CaCO3 (6.7 grains per gallon), moderately 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.

Kentucky has no license category for appliance repair as such; the Department of Housing, Buildings and Construction licenses trades such as HVAC (whose scope covers installing and repairing heating, burner and cooling systems), plumbing and electrical. Source: KRS 198B.650 Definitions (Kentucky Legislative Research Commission)
In Kentucky, you can check a license with the Department of Housing, Buildings and Construction License Search and Verification or report a problem to the Kentucky Attorney General, Office of Consumer Protection.
