How air moves through a central system

How the loop runs: return duct to filter to air handler to supply ducts. A dirty filter slows everything downstream.

Illustration, not to scale. The local workload: 7 heat or excessive-heat days and 4 winter-storm or freeze days in 2016–2025 — filters, coils and capacitors age faster under long cooling seasons. 2 lightning-damage reports within 10 miles and 9 damaging-wind reports over the same span.
