I could add the furnace as well.
I live in Minnesota so don't want to run the AC with compressor during the winter months - and can't really run the microwave for an hour.

Running the air conditioner on a regular basis helps to keep the seals and other components lubricated and less likely to dry out, crack, and leak refrigerant. Automobiles today incorporate the air conditioner into the defrost cycle for the windshield because the air is drier. No need to be concerned about autos. Too often the scenario is using the air after a long sleep and then realizing the refrigerant is gone. Sound familiar.......
