I can buy one and get one free on sale at aprrox. $3.50 a filter.
Carrier HVAC filter sell for $50.00 and $80.00 on Amazon.
My question is, should keep using the ACE filter or the one on the unit itself? 
Using the thinner standard filter, will it effect the warranty?
I was told not to use both filters from the installer at the same time.
Of course, the Carrier dealer said the filter that came with it is much better filter.
What would you do? |
If your new filter is the 4" to 5 " thick filter keep using that. Ace has them for $29 and Black Friday sales at Ace has them at 50% off that price. I stock up when they are on sale. Don't use the old thin filters - they are useless.
