I have a dusty house, like Charlie, with a different twist. This house (in N. Texas) has three AC systems, two of which show no unusual build-up of dust on the filters after a month or two. The third, which serves the master bedroom and bath, collects a considerable amount of gray dust--enough to obscure the surface of the filter--in a month. The filters are the standard 1-inch filters in the return vents, and I'm using Filtrete electrostatics. This seems to me to point to an open duct, but I haven't been able to find one. I understand that simply taping everything with duct-tape isn't considered adequate. I'm not opposed to hiring someone to fix it if I could be convinced that it is a duct problem. Any more ideas? Thanks, Joe
