    I cannot because I’m just a goofball with a mild interest in home improvement

    Wikipedia says HEPA filters became commercially available in the 1950s though so anything older than that I’d bet some beer money would benefit from a less dense filter

    I wouldn’t think forced air heating systems that old are too common though tbh

          We just didn’t use a filter at all in our last rental. I know it’s bad for the ducts, but the landlord was an asshole, and I wasn’t about to spend my money to protect their investment.
