Furnace filter never dirty?

QUESTION:

a while back we had a problem with soot on our funace filter right after it was cleaned and serviced. The company sent someone out to fix the problem and for the last two months there is no dust or particles on teh filter at all now?
Is this normal? This is a cheap filter.

ANSWER:

Sounds like you have a leak between the filter and inlet opening to the blower. Perhaps the filter is not sized or seated properly. Almost ANY filter will trap *some* dust or dirt if properly installed...
