I think it is a waste of money to pay an HVAC technician to come to your house to do anything to a system that is operating properly. They cannot prevent a breakdown. Call a technician when the system fails. Also, don't pay in advance for repair service because you will be stuck with one company who may not be available when you need them.
There's only ONE answer to this post and the above is 100% correct.
Any HVAC company gives service on weekends with quick respond after hours even without a service contract.

SAVE your $$$$ or adopt me........
Change the dam filter, keep the water discharge clear w/vinegar every 3 months.
