Who can perform service and repair work on a dispensing unit?

The correct choice is that a properly licensed LP gas company or individual can perform service and repair work on a dispensing unit. This is because regulations governing the handling and servicing of liquefied petroleum (LP) gas ensure that only qualified individuals or companies who possess the necessary licenses are entrusted with such responsibilities. This licensing is crucial to maintaining safety standards and minimizing risks associated with the handling of gas systems, which can have severe safety implications if not managed properly.

Licensed LP gas companies or individuals have undergone specific training and have passed the requisite examinations that cover safety, installation, maintenance, and repair of dispensing units. They are familiar with the local and state codes related to gas systems, thus ensuring compliance and safe operation.

In contrast, while certified gas safety inspectors have expertise in safety regulations, their role typically focuses on inspection rather than hands-on service and repair. Family members of the operator are unlikely to have the specialized training or certification needed for such work and may lack knowledge about regulatory compliance in the LP gas sector. Lastly, not just any licensed technician is sufficient; the technician must specifically be licensed to work with LP gas systems to ensure safety and legality in the service performed.
