Around Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
Most wine cooler calls in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea come down to airflow and clearance, fans, the door seal, the controls and, on thermoelectric units, the cooling module.
Florida's construction licensing guidance says that paid work such as installing a dishwasher connected to drinking water or replacing a water heater requires a licensed contractor, and that a local business tax receipt or certificate of competency may also apply; it does not describe a separate state appliance repair license.
