What Greenville Owners Should Know
Greenville Water, which supplies Greenville, reports hardness of very soft: total hardness of finished water averaged about 6 mg/L (range roughly 5-7 mg/L) in the utility's monthly finished water report. 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.

South Carolina does not issue a license specific to appliance repair; mechanical work such as plumbing, heating, air conditioning and refrigeration is licensed by the Contractor's Licensing Board for commercial-scale jobs and by the Residential Builders Commission for residential HVAC and plumbing.

In South Carolina, you can check a license with the SC LLR License Lookup or report a problem to the South Carolina Department of Consumer Affairs.
