Still don't get the idea/reason for installing the humidifier on the return side, don't you have the air filter right before the returning air duct connects to the furnace?! So all the moisture will be filtered by the air filter and make it wet and perfect for mold to grow plus the wet filter makes it very hard for air to flow through. Also, when the air is heated up by the furnace, the moisture will evaporate and the air being sent in to the whole house will be dry and less humid, then what is the whole point of installing the humidifier?

Are you at my house. Looks very similar setup. Not so many round pipes. Ours is 1950's. aluminum box ducts. lots of low. Last hvac put in goodman 92% single stage. Or is it 2. It may have two. Or a low fan and high fan. I'll have to check. It does have the side and bottom entry cutout because of the low ceiling.

I would say at least 95% of the residential installs in my area will have 1" thick filters,

I have a Train 12 seer unit that is now 29 year old, service it annually and still works great. I purchased a Goodman for the other end of home and it took a dive from lack of quality control within 1 year. The small capillary line including the heat shrink they installed over it knowing it would chafe, was left against the larger copper line, chafed a hole in it and dumped everything. The line could have been simply pulled away from the larger line, with plenty of clearance to do so. Factory warranty would not cover 410A cost of $400. Truth be told---Goodman is Cheaper in Price and the installer makes more money. Goodman warranties do not cover labor other than replacement of their OEM components, last time I checked. Stay with the American Standard or Trane-same units.

All equipment has issues. We have had to deal with dirty flame sensors due to burning issues with Trane, inducer motors etc. Trane is much more expensive and should work better. Unfortunately we have not found this. Goodman does have a better warranty for the heat exchanger also.

The Hyper Heat is designed to go to -5 degrees and maintain 100% heating. Below that a secondary heat is usually in place. It is getting rare that people get that cold for any period of time. It is also important to have a pan heater like the FS or Hyper Heat has to make sure the condensation does not freeze around the unit.

Never going above MERV 10 and replacing mine monthly. And do not buy your filters from Home Depot because they use a non-regulated system for filters they do not use the standard and they have their own system which is not correct with the industry system.

if the filtration system is not sealed, then no matter what the manufacturer is advertising the filter won't do its job. i go with either a 4-5" filter depending on the filter box and what i install. if there are gaps before and after the 1" filter, then a throw away filter is my best option. cheap is best

5 times thicker would mean 5 times more resection ? the higher the number you said the higher the restrictions. What is the merv rating for the 3m? do furnaces say in the manual the max merv rating ?

No the thinker filters have more surface area, means more passages for air to get through. think of it as 5 times longer vs 5 times thicker since the actual thickness of the filter is thinner then a sheet of paper.

Depends what thicker means - the wider/deeper pleated 4-5 inch filters have lower static pressure drop.
