Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between PGAPXCAR2025 and AGAPXCAR2025?
They are the same filter. Carrier is transitioning from PGAPXCAR to AGAPXCAR model numbers. Both work identically in your PGAPAXX2025 cabinet. The -A02 suffix indicates case pack quantity but may be sold as a single filter.
How do I know if this filter fits my system?
This filter ONLY fits Carrier Performance Series PGAPX Germicidal Air Purifiers with cabinet model PGAPAXX2025 (or DGAPAXX2025). Check your cabinet door label - the model number's last 4 digits before any dash indicate size (2025 = 20x25x3 nominal).
Why doesn't my filter sticker show the size?
Carrier PGAPX filters don't print the size on the main sticker. Look near the end of the filter frame for the complete model number (example: AGAPXCAR1625-A02 for 16x25 size, AGAPXCAR2025-A02 for 20x25 size).
What are the actual dimensions?
Nominal: 20" x 25" x 3"
Actual: 21" x 24.9" x 2.6"
These exact dimensions are critical - the filter won't fit properly if you have a different cabinet series.
Can I use a Carrier Infinity filter instead?
NO. Carrier Infinity filters (GAPCCCAR2025) are 3-5/8" thick and designed for different cabinets (GAPAAXCC2025). They will NOT fit Performance Series PGAPAXX cabinets. You must use either genuine PGAPXCAR2025/AGAPXCAR2025 or a compatible specifically made for Performance Series.
What are all the available PGAPX filter sizes?
Performance Series PGAPX filters come in 5 sizes:
- PGAPXCAR1620 - 16x20x3 nominal
- PGAPXCAR1625 - 16x25x3 nominal
- PGAPXCAR2020 - 20x20x3 nominal
- PGAPXCAR2025 - 20x25x3 nominal (this filter)
- PGAPXCAR2420 - 24x20x3 nominal
Can I use a standard 20x25x3 furnace filter?
NO. Your PGAPX Germicidal Air Purifier requires this specific cartridge design with proper gaskets and frame construction with foil tabs. The metallic foil tab are required to activate the ionization array. Standard furnace filters won't seal correctly and could damage your system.
What's the replacement schedule?
Check or replace before each heating and cooling season. Under normal conditions, replace at least twice per year (every 6-10 months). Heavy usage or poor air quality may require more frequent changes.
Is there a less expensive alternative?
Yes! Our Atomic Compatible PGAPXCAR2025 offers identical fit and MERV 13 performance at 40% less cost than OEM.
