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.
