Village Dreamer,
I order filters online around $20 each, no shipping. I also order the whirlpool filters on line about $25 or $30 each, package of 3.

Put in a whole house water filter & you'll never have to touch your fridge water filter again

The light on the fridge is a timer --doesn't measure water usage

ChatBrat is correct, we have a whole house filter, and yes it is not necessary to replace the filter on the frig with one of these installed.
As for the A/C filter, we use FiltersUSA.com great prices and delivery. Use the part number on you existing filter to get exact replacement.

If you do not want the whole house filter, you can order the filter directly from Whirlpool, in lots of 3 at a discount.

All of the new houses have a Carrier air handler that takes a special filter that is only available at Ace Hardware.

The Filter is 19X20X4 but a standard 19x20x4 won't fit and if you use a standard filter of that size, your warranty will be voided.

I was told by a salesman at Ace that they were given notice to stock up on these filters.

Where did you hear the warranty would be voided if an air filter 1/4" too small was installed ?

Yes, the Carrier 4" media filters are an odd size: 19 1/8 x 19 13/16 x 4 5/16.

The OEM part numbers are:

FILXXFNC0021 for MERV 8
FILXXFNC0121 for MERV 11

They can be mail ordered for about $30. The good news is they will typically last a year.

Here is one source:

Remember, these 4" filters last at least 6 Months. not the three months the fance 1" ones do. So, they cost more, but last longer.

by a lot of different factors, to include pets in the home, smoking, etc. Bottom line is filters need to be replaced when they get dirty, not by a date.

I've been ordering mine from Amazon, last time was in 2014 a 3 pack of Merv 13, 16 X 20 X 4 with shipping was $38. The photo shows 2, but I got 3. I replace mine once a year, that's what the Munn's tech told me to do back in 2011. They've gone up to $42.99 for 3 pack, same ones I got because I searched my Amazon history, here's a link.

Nova filters the entire house and it really makes a difference. No need to change the refrig filter but if you like you can change it every two year. Cost of the Nova system is $495 installed. Replacement filters are around $70 for all three.

I use to pay $2 for a furnace filter and never had a frig filter............boy I'm getting old.:$: Check out discountfilters.com. I get my filters from them for my fridge and air cleaner. Munn`s charged me twice the price I pay for my air cleaner filter I order on line.
