Filter System in question?

[Debra]

Just purchased this home recently.............does is not use air filters in the Lennox Pulse?

I presume this refers to a furnace air filter. Every furnace should have a filter in its intake path, but in some cases the filter is not installed at the furnace air handler itself. Often a larger filter is used at the return air intake grill since the larger filter surface area allows the use of better filtering but more flow restrictive air filters. My setup is like this, with the air handler being 20x20 and the return intake where the filter is 24x24 which is a 44% increase in filter area vs. one at the air handler.
