Hello Gasers,
Can anyone out there tell me if the Dealer and/or Factory Technicians that come into your home to service your gas appliance,(Stove, Fireplace, Insert), has to be liscensed by a local authority or state agency, etc.
I am not talking about Factory Training, I am speaking of actual Licensure or dose this vary state by state?
I makes you wonder sometimes when a technicain comes to service your gas heating appliance and the first thing out of their mouth is,"I never saw or worked on one of these before", and you have to assist them with parts of the serviceing process.
I do know that to hook up the gas line to the gas valve,(final connection), they supposingly have to be certified.
Kind of gives you a taddy of an uneasy feeling since they are dealing with a product that very easily can destroy your home and very possibly harm or perhaps kill you and your family because of the possibility of lack of knowledge of the product they are working on.
I have had Dealer Reps., District Manager Reps.,Customer Reps., Sales Reps.,etc. working on mine. Does mean that these above mentioned people where two,possibly, three hats and their job titles encompass more than what they elude to. Another words, "One person does the job of two or three".
If this is the case I bet this sure would widen the manufactures profit margin quite nicely, unfortunately it could possibly be at the cost of the consumers safety.
Ena or NO??
John
