I had a new carrier furnace/AC installed which has the toptech filter cabinet and honestly, it kind of torqued me off when I found out it's proprietary. Had I known that in advance I would've seriously considered a different brand. I replaced two other furnaces in previous houses and was always able to use filters from retail stores.
