Because every house I’ve ever had I’ve always had the maintenance service and my last house it lasted over 25 years. They don’t just change a filter and make sure your drain is clear. They run diagnostics and tell if something isn’t running right and fix it before it gets to a breaking point. They completely remove the casing over the unit and do other things. Obviously money well spent considering my HVAC track records.
