First, thanks for the tip re Ace.
The first service is FREE (new construction) so it doesn't matter what Sunshine charges for the service; I'll shop around next year.
When we were in Winter Park we had Del Air do our service at around $70.00 per unit.
Regarding appearances as mentioned above I do flush the condensate pipe the first of every month with warm water only. No vinegar (ruins the coils) and no soap.
Filters USA does show both generic and Carrier filters as you mention. Returns if required would be a drag if damaged or shipped wrong.
BTW after selling my Manufacturers Rep. business in the '90s I was with Lennox Heating and Cooling as National OEM Sales Manager until retiring in 2002 so I do know just a little about AC.
My only question was about the filters and if anyone had a less expensive source since I have 2 units.
