A lot of people do this. Many of the HVAC companies make more money on regular maintenance service than they make on anything else they do. I flush out my condensate drain every few months, change the filter, and make sure the outside condenser unit is clean. My unit is 5 years old and I have never paid anyone for a regular maintenance service. In fact, I have never paid anyone for a regular HVAC maintenance service in more than 40 years. There is really nothing a technician can do to prevent your system from failing.
