They should flush out the condensate drain pipe, but I doubt that they would test the float switch, unless you request it. But, you should at least add a quart or so of vinegar to the condensate drain pipe about every 3 months and make sure it is draining. Doing it once a year may not prevent a clog that can develop more quickly than 12 months.
