If you are only getting the condensate drain checked annually, that is not often enough. You need to be pouring hot water down the drain at least every 3 months. I think it is a good idea to replace the filter every 6 months. I use Merv 11 filters, which have made my house quieter and less dusty. I buy FilterBuy filters from Amazon. Also, if you are paying $100 for maintenance, I would ask them specifically what they are doing that will prevent your system from failing. Are they ever replacing the capacitor to avoid a failure?
