Service cleaning for my mac is very expensive, but should i still get it?

The processor has an internal sensor. When on-chip temperatures approach 100 degrees C, it will do an uncontrolled emergency power-off to preclude heat damage.

As long as it is operating under that limit, no routine maintenance is required.

Apple does not require the items you describe for "routine maintenance". Your Mac is designed for trouble-free operation, so that you can do your important work without having to keep fiddling with the computer.

If instead, the internal condition of your computer is causing you anguish, consuming your attention, and causing you to worry, then then no amount of money is too much to pay for peace-of-mind.

I have been using my Macbook Air for two years with heavy usage every day. I am planning on it getting service cleaned (internal fans and fins getting dusted out, and thermal paste replacement)

But the problem is, it is pretty expensive in my area; 42 dollars in an AASP known as iStore.

It is pretty expensive in my opinion, I know this price is what it is because of a few factors:

Expensive device = Expensive service/maintenance

Legitimate Apple Authorized service provider = expensive service

But this is only regular maintenance. And in my opinion, the price is pretty expensive. Is it worth it?

I'm planning on getting it service cleaned by December because I'm currently saving up for it.

Is the price reasonable and worth it? Is it risk free?

Are you having an associated issue?

You do not say anything about what exact MacBook Air 13″....

so..impossible to give you any advice here.

I certainly have never done this to any of my 6 notebook Mac's I ever owned since 1995...YMMV

An accumulation of formerly airborne dust is a consequence of the environment in which the Mac operates.

Macs do not require routine maintenance. If your Mac is working properly, then there is no need to do anything.

Macs adjust their fan speeds based on measured temperatures. When too much dust accumulates, measured temperatures will be higher, and even more air will need to be moved to provide adequate cooling. Eventually, it could start to sound like a vacuum cleaner. As long as it is NOT also overheating and shutting down, no service is necessary.

Since it appears I was not clear with my earlier reply: do nothing with that Mac until you observe an operational condition that justifies action.
