Where the filter goes

The maker does not ship a filter with this furnace. The size above is the maker's recommended size at the furnace; if your home has a filter grille in a wall or ceiling, that grille sets the size instead.
How often to change it
General guidance, not from the maker's table: 1-inch filters every 1 to 3 months; 4- and 5-inch filters every 6 to 12 months. Change sooner with pets, smoking or construction dust.
