If your heater has been quiet since spring, this is a good week to prove it still works — not the first real cold day of the season, when a no-heat morning costs comfort and can lead to a rushed repair. Corona and Riverside County homes from Eastvale and Norco to Jurupa Valley and Moreno Valley rely on heat that starts on the first try.
Henley’s Plumbing & Air (CA Lic #776658) is family-owned for more than 40 years since 1983. Use this checklist at home first; when you need a licensed tech, our heating repair team covers Riverside County, with local details on the Corona and Corona HVAC pages. Our corporate office is at 1701 Commerce St in Corona, with a local branch near you.
Homeowner fall checklist
- Run heat for 15 minutes on a cool morning. Feel supply vents. Note odd smells in the first minute (brief dust burn-off can be normal; persistent metallic or gas odors are not).
- Replace the filter if it is dirty. Write the date on the new one.
- Open supply and return vents in rooms you actually use. Avoid closing most of the house “to force air” into one room.
- Test thermostat batteries and Heat mode.
- Clear the furnace area — boxes, chemicals, and pet beds do not belong against the cabinet.
- Check outdoor terminations on high-efficiency units for debris at intake/exhaust.
- Test CO and smoke detectors and replace batteries as needed.
- Request maintenance before the rush. Our $99 furnace tune-up (16-point check) is built for this season: heating maintenance. An AC tune-up is also $99 when cooling season prep is the need.
