How to find the right Carrier filter
Use the part number printed on your old filter or on the label of the filter cabinet. Carrier and Bryant share these part numbers, so a Bryant cabinet that takes EXPXXFIL0016 uses the same filter. Several Carrier filters share a nominal size such as 16x25x5 but fit different cabinets, so match the part number first and the size second.
