40% increase??? nope. I religiously clean the drain line monthly, and we have an Aprilaire electrostatic air filter system. And I get those filters on Amazon and change myself every 6 months.

IF we have an issue (like the capacitor failing), is there a more economical local AC firm???
How long have you been paying the $99 rate? It could be that the 40% increase balances several years of no increase.

Keeping up with the drain line certainly makes a difference. The checkups might catch a developing problem and allow you to pick a time to be without AC rather than the system choosing when it wants to fail. The checkup told me that my capacitor was beginning to degrade which gave me time to buy and install a new one.

When we did have a part fail unexpectedly, Munn's had a reasonable response time and I was happy with the price for the repair. Munn's is not the only game in town but they seem to have a good reputation.
