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?

Hi,
How old is the system? I am not a pro but at least I know compressor has
some safety feature built-in to prevent damage. Filter is in the path of
air flow.

Was the condensor full of dirt making the system work harder, did you
have to clean it. I do see an increase in the electric bill from lack
of airflow, did it ice up.

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

Make him install one of these in every unit:

The next time the filter isn't changed the a/c will not power-up until
it is.

Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

Second that-
I've been sitting here for a couple minutes thinking 'never attribute
to. . . . to . .. to . . . .?' Then I decided to finish reading
the thread-- Thanks.

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.

Are you referring to the air filter that is in the inside air handler/
blower, or some sort of filter on the outdoor air compressor?
