Munns was the original installer for our home. At that time, I believe there was a second original installer for the new construction. Munns has never pushed, or even mentioned, a service contract. The system comes with a 10 year parts/5 year labor warranty and they do require an annual checkup to maintain the warranty (actually a Carrier requirement, I believe).

The service techs appear to be competent during the annual visits and they do check what I would expect (high and low pressures, super heat, sub cool, amperages, leaving and return temps, etc., and they flush the condensate drain). Two warranty issues were handled quickly and without any drama. Based on my experiences, this is a good company to work with.

I know there are some large HVAC companies here who will place you at the end of their list if you do not have a contract with them.

This is the first community in all the areas that I lived where they pushed for contracts. Frankly in all the years previous I only had the need of an HVAC repair once.

Some HVAC companies push for ultra violet lights to control mold/mildew, contracts, etc. is this also a scam???????

I wish the OP had included the name of the HVAC company that he believed was too expensive.
