Pretty much. I change the oil and buy new tires and brakes when they wear out. But a car costs about 7 times as much as an HVAC system. The HVAC units in The Villages come with a 5 year parts and labor warranty, and a 10 year parts warranty. I don't know of any regular maintenance tasks required to maintain that warranty. Routine maintenance contracts are big money makers for the HVAC companies, but most of what they do will not prevent your system from breaking down or make it last longer. It will probably last 15 years or longer without any inspection or service by an HVAC technician.
