Local Notes for Boston
Boston Water and Sewer Commission (water supplied by the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority), which supplies Boston, reports hardness of approximately 16 mg/L (about 1 grain per gallon), which MWRA describes as soft. Hard water leaves spots and film on glasses and builds up on dishwasher spray arms and inlet screens, which is worth mentioning when you book a repair. Source: Frequently Asked Questions About Drinking Water (MWRA)
Massachusetts does not issue a separate appliance repair license; running fuel gas piping to appliances and installing their vent piping is gas fitting work that requires a license from the Board of State Examiners of Plumbers and Gas Fitters. Source: Plumbers and gas fitters consumer fact sheet (Mass.gov)
In Massachusetts, you can check a license with the Massachusetts Division of Occupational Licensure eLIPSE license verification portal or report a problem to the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office, Consumer Advocacy and Response Division.
