So we have the same problem...and I'm sure others are having the same problem but may not realize it. Have you ever brought it up with the AC guy when or if you have an annual maintenance check up?? If so what do they say!

I am wondering if a filter where the air intakes are located in the ceiling of each room would provide a better dust filter intake.

This cant be right......
I personally retrofitted my filter to the ceiling intake. This helps prevent a build up of dust in the ducts. Bought a replacement grill at Home Depot and it was a simple job. My AC guy said it was a great idea and they had tried to convince the developer to make them standard but they wouldn't go for it.

Just because a filter looks clean doesn't necessarily mean it is. Hold a used filter up to light and compare it with a new one.

I replace my filter every three months.
