Not a once-over. A real inspection.
What can I do myself between visits?
Four things, and they cover most of what goes wrong. Change the filter on a real schedule rather than when you remember. Keep two feet clear around the outdoor unit and rinse the coil from the inside out with a hose, power off, once a season. Pour a cup of vinegar down the condensate drain line in spring. And listen: a noise that is new is information, and the cheapest repair is always the one booked in the week you first noticed something rather than the month it finally stopped.
Why twice a year rather than once?
Because heating and cooling are two different machines sharing a cabinet, and they fail at opposite ends of the year. A spring visit is about the condenser, the refrigerant charge and the condensate drain before the first heat wave. An autumn visit is about combustion, the heat exchanger and the safeties before the first hard freeze. Doing one visit in between gets you half of each at the wrong time of year. If you only ever do one, make it autumn: a no-cool night is uncomfortable and a no-heat night can freeze pipes.
Does my warranty require annual maintenance?
Most manufacturer warranties do, and it is the part people find out about at the worst moment. The parts warranty on a new system typically requires documented annual service by a licensed contractor, and a compressor claim is exactly when someone asks for those records. Keep the invoices, or let whoever services it keep them for you. This is the single cheapest reason to maintain a system that is running perfectly well and does not feel like it needs anything.
I skipped a year. Does that matter?
One skipped year is not a disaster, and nobody should pretend otherwise. What it costs you is the comparison: a technician arriving with no prior readings is looking at a snapshot rather than a trend. The two things worth checking sooner rather than later after a gap are the condensate drain, which blocks quietly and can overflow into a ceiling, and the flame sensor, which fouls gradually and eventually stops the furnace lighting on the first cold night of the year.
