QUESTION:Having problems locating my furnace Air-filter.
Pulled manual and have taken all possible doors off I can find but no
filter anywhere. I do have a Carrier electric air cleaner attached but
am unable to verify if it works because no light when its turned in the on
position and the test button does nothing. I have recently moved into
this house. Is it possible that there is no other filter if there is a
electric air cleaner?
ANSWER: There may be some sort of coarse filter right in front and maybe part of
the electronic filter. The fact that the light does not come on and you
don't hear the usual snap when you press the test button indicates the
electronic filter is not working for some reason.
You may want to check the return air grill in the living area, sometimes
there is one there. I suspect you have no operational filter and who knows
what kind of condition the blower and AC evaporator (if you have one) is in.
I suspect you should consider a service call to determine the overall
condition of the equipment so you can decide what service you may want done
to help assure efficient and reliable service this coming year.
