That is why some drains get clogged.
The warranty requires regular maintenance, as outlined in the owners manual. Personally I wouldn't want to take a chance on Carrier balking at a claim of mine if I couldn't provide proof of professional annual service. Especially since it's cheap. Bottom line is that most people don't know (or care) about cleaning the condensate line (I do it quarterly) or the filter, until it becomes an issue. I've seen some that are just disgusting.

That being said, I highly recommend Good Guys Heating and Air Conditioning, 352-557-9437. I've used them for service and repairs, and found them to be outstanding.
