Another reason an annual inspection (by a pro) is a good idea, is that I've seen more than one condensate overflow switch fail on units here in The Villages. The resulting backup of water due to homeowners failing to clean the condensate drain can cause thousands of dollars in damage, if not caught in time.
And no, I'm not an HVAC person, and I feel the $129 a year is money well spent.

I know what they mean, but some people don't. They think that the system actually needs to be tuned. My Carrier warranty doesn't say anything about requiring annual maintenance to enforce the warranty. Also, cleaning out the condensate drain once per year is not nearly often enough. That is why some drains get clogged.
