I see many of these being sold at Home Depot and other home
improvement centers and was wondering whether using these filters
would put too much stress or strain on the air circulation fan, the
furnace and the central A/C system at all? I'm talking about the
vents only inside the house and not the ones outside.

I'm thinking that these systems are designed with being able to
perform without any obstructions in the vents and while these filters
are supposed to let sufficient air through, if I place them in very
vent in my house, perhaps that might impose too much strain on the
circulation fan, the furnace and the central A/C?

Thoughts? Thanks for your time and courtesy.

years old without any repairs. My parents townhome is 4 years old system.

KJ forgot to add the caveat of the systems RA and filter area being sized
correctly for the higher airflow restriction of the Filtrete
"Ultra-Allergen" filters.
