During the cooling season pour 1/4 cup of biocide or white vinegar threw your condensate drain line to kill any slime growing in the line. Do this every few months. If that drain line plugs up you will have a wet mess followed by black mold and a big cleanup bill. If you commit your self to this you can save some money but if you forget and let it go then you will find that $140 a year is cheaper.

One of my neighbors just had his drain line plug. The water got under his laminate flooring and destroyed the whole floor. It didn't run on the top of the floor, just went underneath. He is replacing about 1,000 sq ft of laminate.
