gas furnace system

You only want one filter in an air-stream. That large grate is probably so that air can move from one area to another.

My landlord seems to know absolutely nothing about the house. The house is a duplex and she said that there is a filter in the floor on the other side f the house, but isn't sure where the filter on our side would go.

IMHO the larger great is a remnant from an older system.We no have ducts running to registers in each room upstairs and down. And no air seems to flow through the gate when the heating system is running. If this is the case (the landlord doesn't know, see above) I should be able to cover the large grate, correct?

I am the renter, by the way.

Filtering is done on the low pressure side, before the fan. Filtering before and after will only reduce the air supply and cause problems.

If no one knows then call a pro and have the unit checked out. Ask the pro your questions while he is there. You will know that the unit is safe and your questions will be answered.
