What Charleston Owners Should Know
Charleston Water System, which supplies Charleston, reports hardness of about 54 ppm (roughly 3.2 grains per gallon) as a 2022 average; soft water. 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.

South Carolina does not issue a license specific to appliance repair; mechanical work such as plumbing, heating, air conditioning and refrigeration is licensed by the Contractor's Licensing Board for commercial-scale jobs and by the Residential Builders Commission for residential HVAC and plumbing.
