In a previous house I rented, we swapped the furnace filter for a much finer one (from 8 to 13 on whatever scale they market these things in), and it made the HVAC system run noticeably worse. Lower airflow, noisier, etc. It seemed to me that the intake system couldn't keep up with the reduced flow of the denser filter.

Could moving to a coarser filter but adding room filters be useful in that context?
