Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between PGAPXCAR1625 and AGAPXCAR1625?
They are identical filters. Carrier is transitioning model numbers from PGAPXCAR to AGAPXCAR. Both work exactly the same in your PGAPAXX1625 cabinet. You may receive either model number when ordering.
Is PGAPXCAR1625-A02 the same as PGAPXCAR1625?
Yes! PGAPXCAR1625, PGAPXCAR1625-A01, PGAPXCAR1625-A02, and PGAPXCAR1625-A05 are all the same filter. The suffix (-A01, -A02, etc.) only indicates the manufacturer's case pack quantity.
How do I verify this filter fits my system?
Check your air purifier cabinet door for model PGAPAXX1625 or DGAPAXX1625. The last 4 digits (1625) indicate the 16×25 nominal size. The filter itself may not show the size on the sticker, but the full model number is printed near the end of the filter frame.
Will this fit a Carrier Infinity Series air purifier?
No. This filter is ONLY for Performance Series PGAPX units. Infinity Series uses different filters (GAPCCCAR models) that are 3-5/8" thick. Using the wrong series filter can damage your system.
How often should I replace this filter?
Under normal conditions, replace every 6-12 months. Carrier recommends twice per year on the filter. Check before each heating and cooling season. Homes with pets, high dust, or heavy system use may need more frequent replacement.
What are the exact dimensions?
Actual dimensions are 17.3" × 24.9" × 2.6". The nominal size is 16" × 25" × 3". Always use actual dimensions when measuring your cabinet opening.
Is there a less expensive alternative?
Yes! Atomic Filters offers a compatible PGAPXCAR1625 replacement with identical MERV 13 performance at 40% less than OEM pricing.
