Idaho's Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses does not list appliance repair as a licensed profession; gas piping and gas appliance work falls under the state's HVAC licensing, which includes specialty licenses for those trades. Source: Is My Profession Licensed? - Idaho DOPL
In Idaho, you can check a license with the Idaho DOPL Search for a License or Registration or report a problem to the Idaho Attorney General Consumer Protection Division.
