Default New AC question intentional sabotage

System never satisfies thermostat. Runs all the time. Wears out the
compressor. I can see that happening.

Combine with a dirty condensor, and you're asking for a burnout.

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?
