Carrier High-Efficiency Air Filtration
When your heating and cooling system is equipped with a Carrier high-efficiency air filter, your indoor air is cleaned as it passes through the pleated media filter. The clean air is then circulated throughout your home.
Carrier high-efficiency filter captures particles .3 - 100 microns.
Carrier high-efficiency electronic air cleaner captures particles .01 - 100 microns.
Standard 1-inch fiberglass filter captures particles 10 - 100 microns.
Regular filter changes are important. Carrier high-efficiency filters feature a design that allows for easy removal and even easier replacement.
- – Dirty filters restrict airflow through your heating and cooling system, causing the system to work harder and be less efficient in maintaining your indoor temperature settings.
- – Clean filters help your system operate at its peak performance and efficiency levels, helping you keep your utility costs down.
- – It is recommended that your Carrier high efficiency filter be changed at least:
- Once a year – for standard fan operation
- Twice a year – for continuous fan operation
Continuous Fan Operation
For optimal comfort and air cleaning, operate your heating and cooling system in the continuous fan or fan on mode. In this mode, the blower stays on even when there is not a call for heating or cooling. The air in your home is continually circulated and cleaned, keeping the temperature in your home more even.
Carrier high-efficiency filters are available in MERV 8 efficiency, effectively providing excellent filtration while maintaining one of the lowest “pressure drop” ratings of any filter.
MERV stands for Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value. The higher the MERV rating, the more efficient the filter.
“Pressure Drop” is airflow resistance. A heating and cooling system is designed to operate with a certain amount of air being circulated through it. If this airflow is not maintained, the system will not operate efficiently. Many high-efficiency filters offered by competitors have a high-pressure drop, restricting the proper amount of air circulating through the system. Quality air filters will have this “pressure drop rating” listed in their filter literature.
Carrier filters are designed to work seamlessly with Carrier heating and cooling systems.
Carrier filter cabinets feature a 10-year limited warranty.
