## Common questions

- Why is my furnace blowing cold air? Most often a clogged filter that makes the furnace overheat and shut the burners off, a dirty flame sensor, or a failed igniter.
- Why won't my wall heater pilot stay lit? Usually a worn thermocouple or a dirty pilot opening. Both are repairable.
- Can I still install a new gas furnace in Oakland? Yes, until January 1, 2029. From that date, Bay Area Air District rules allow only zero-NOx furnaces, such as heat pumps, to be sold or installed. Working furnaces do not have to be removed.
- Do I need a permit to replace a furnace in Oakland? Yes. Oakland Air Pros pulls the City of Oakland permit as part of the job.
- Do you give a price first? Yes. A written price after the diagnosis and before any work starts.
- Gas smell: leave the house and call PG&E at 1-800-743-5000 or 911 from outside.
