Taxes & licensing in Connecticut

Sales tax on the repair: Repair labor is taxable here. Appliance-repair LABOR is subject to Connecticut sales and use tax (6.35%). (official tax source)
Who is licensed to do the work: No standalone Connecticut state license exists for a general "appliance repair technician," so basic repair of plug-in/cord-connected appliances (e.g., a washer, dryer, dishwasher, microwave with no gas/refrigerant/hardwired work) does not itself require a state occupational license. (official licensing source)

How we price this for New Haven

We take each national base range and multiply it by New Haven's local index of 1.10:

local range = national base × 1.10

The index blends the metro's wage relativity (New Haven metro wages for appliance technicians (BLS OEWS occupation 49-9031)) with the BEA Regional Price Parity for New Haven, held to a sane band. Parts ship at national prices, so only the labor and overhead share moves with the metro. These localized estimates are cross-checked against 1 locally published service fee in the observed stat above — figures we show verbatim, never run through the index. The full method and source vintages are on the methodology page.
