Munns replaced my AC in July 2019 & Im due for their service in a few months time, price is $79 but then I was asked if I had a new filter. When I said no, I assumed the engineer would bring one, I was told yes & that it’s an additional $50. This seems steep to me. Does anyone know if I can buy the AC filter myself from a store. It is the newer, thicker, longer lasting version of AC filter I think. Thank you.

Go to Amazon.

I've been buying from Amazon for ten years. Generally get 3 filters delivered for $50, just do a search for the size and MERV rating you need.

Be sure to get the correct size. You could remove the old filter and take it to ACE hardware in Wildwood and most likely they can match it with an exact replacement for less $$ than Munns.

There is an advertiser on here that sells a permanent filter

amazon or ace. Munn's charges a 100% premium for convenience - and they don't even do a very good job in maintenance checks.

I buy mine at ACE Hardware. My size is about $18 and the brand name is Flanders. I bought other brands from Lowes and Home Depot that were a little too large to fit into my unit. You can buy filters online, but they may not fit.

Thanks so much everyone!

As some have advised you can buy your replacement filters on line. You have to get the exact size however. A casual glance at the “nominal” size 20x16x4 for example could lead you to order the wrong filter. The exact size should be written on the existing filter like 19-13/16x 15-5/8x 4- 3/8
