Dog hair and dust on the evaporator. Dog hair, dirt, and cottonwood on the condenser

Yep.. been there

At least the blower motor will.

I had that happen to me once, cleaned the filthiest condenser I had ever seen, compressor locked up the next day.

wow... how can that system function just how?!

That Filter stops everything sensible, latent heat etc LOL

Another filter type that gets more efficient with time!!!

Holy Moses........!!I think I know them....

It made its own filter.

Had a customer awhile back. No filter rack. Return grilles just grilles. No filter ever installed in the 7yrs it was built. Evap coil and blower were clean. I was amazed.

Why is this furnace locking out??

On a no heat call today. Furnace locking out on high limit. Went to check filter and found none. Checked evaporator coil, and turns out, its slightly dirty!!! Homeowner has lived there seven years and never knew about a filter. Worst part is that someone was out last month. And replaced the flame sensor. And a year ago someone found a "problem with the gas pressure"!!! When i pumped the system down to remove coil, i got a look at the condenser coil! First pic is evap, second is condenser. Btw, they have dogs.
