Just clean your filters on the indoor unit every 4 weeks of use with a vacuum cleaner hose and that is all you need unless he unit has a leak of freon Gas. That Gas should never leak unless the installation is a bad one.

just look for the return, You will have several outlets and one unit in the ceiling. the unit in the ceiling will have a hatch / access to the indoor unit. This will have a filter about 30 cm x 100cm like mesh.  Hoover it or wash it with soapy water and allow to dry. A/C servicing is a massive money racket . Believe me as I am an A/C engineer .
