On a hot summer day, I like to inspect the outside unit to see if the suction line (the one with the black insulation) is cold and sweating. If it is, your compressor is working. There is nothing else that an HVAC technician can do to prevent your system from failing. Most HVAC companies want to sell you regular maintenance checkups (or tune-ups?) because it is a cash cow for their business. Don't waste your money.

My kind of guy, honest, sincere, and to the point.
Thank You
