I would think the more likely explanation would be laziness...

I asked a question about what happens if an AC filter is clogged.

Let me ask that again, and put in some details. I had a maintenence man
looking after three properties. He intentionally did not clean the
filters, and I know that because it could be seen on the gratings, and I
hav never ever seen a filter that dirty. One of the compressors failed,
and I arrived in town to follow up and see what happened. There were two
cases of filters on property.

Long story short, I did not do my job of keeping better track of him, but
he's a relative, yada, yada.

This man knows AC enough to change a compressor. I believe the neglect
was intentional, and based on other issues he had with me. If someone
wants a system to fail, would it be just as easy as not changing the
filter for say a year?
