Review on 🌬️ Carrier / Bryant 16x25x5 MERV 10 EXPXXFIL0016 EZ Flex Air Filter by Mike Bogan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Ideal for the new carrier module. Cheaper than dealer prices!

Ideal for porters. Exact replacement for a dealer installed filter in a new Carrier HVAC system. I have tried several other cheaper filters available online. While the exact dimensions were listed in the description and matched my careful measurements, the filters were still slightly different - different enough to be difficult to install and/or remove. EZ Flex fits perfectly. Revain was $11 cheaper than my HVAC dealer. The dealer suggests replacing the filter every 10 months, but my thermostat notifies me when needed. This is typically every 3-5 months depending on the season and usage. The filter works fine as long as I follow the replacement instructions on the thermostat. (Note: The HVAC dealer strongly recommends a MERV filter rating of 10 and not increasing the MERV rating higher to avoid stressing a system I installed a year ago. I think I'll take his advice. )
