HVAC systems installed in The Villages do not require regular maintenance by a technician to enforce the warranty.

I will agree that most warranties for almost any product will have a clause that allows the manufacturer to deny a warranty claim if there is "evidence" that the product has been abused or damaged by improper use. For example, you can change your own oil on a vehicle, but if you never change the oil and the engine fails because of this, the manufacturer can refuse to repair the engine. But I have never seen a warranty that states "in writing" that a qualified technician is required to perform regular maintenance. If you know of such a warranty for a consumer product, please post it.
