    I'm with Joe on all points.

    Excessive force on filters such that they warp in service strongly suggests insufficient return face area. Mark is right about ECM blowers - they will ramp up to oppose restrictions in supply or return system. Home unit ECMs are rated at 0.5 to 0.75 " WC, but I've seen them in operation at upwards of 2", and that pressure will warp a cardboard filter
