So is this how to save the coils? 2x per year
draining and cleaning?


CY: In theory, the water that collects on the coils
should run down into the pan and then down the drain,
by gravity. Some times, things don't work as well.
The coil might shift and be sloped the wrong way.
Algae and dust builds up, and drains clog. A skilled
tech would catch this kind of problem early.

I won't make the mistake of not getting 2x per year maintenance with the
new system. I guess I really ****ed up. This is my first time as a
homeowner so I've made an expensive mistake.


I don't totally know that twice a year is essential.
Can't hurt, if you have a reputable company. I'm a
hypocrite, in some regards. I installed HVAC for
six plus years, and I do nearly no maint on my own
system.
