i moved into this house in 1996 (it was built in 1976). The air conditioning unit is outside and the heating unit in attic. It has the vents in attic that lead to my three bedrooms, two baths, living room, kitchen, laundry room. Over the years I noticed no matter how many times I changed the filter in the vent in the hallway the house was constantly dusty. Over the years my bills were enormous but it was neither too cold or too hot. I kept asking my sons if there was another filter or if the vents needed to be cleaned. No responsible response. Truthfully I am now, nor have been in the past, been financially able to have it looked at professionally. That's why I'm trying to do this myself. My venting is taped together with what looks like duct tape which is coming loose...and I'm just stuck with what I've got. But the filter that MAYBE somewhere close to the unit in the attic, if it exsist, must be deplorable...after me living here for 17 years and not knowing. Can you help me locate the filter so I can see what I can do about it? I do not know what type of heating system it is or who installed it..
