Local Notes for Tucson
Tucson Water (City of Tucson), which supplies Tucson, reports hardness of naturally hard groundwater, with hardness rising where more Central Arizona Project water is blended in; the city publishes no single figure. 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. Source: Hard Water - City of Tucson
Arizona has no appliance-repair-specific license; work is regulated through Registrar of Contractors classifications, and state law removes the small-job (under $1,000) handyman exemption for any work connecting or repairing appliances on natural gas or propane.

In Arizona, you can check a license with the Arizona Registrar of Contractors Contractor Search or report a problem to the Arizona Attorney General Consumer Protection.
