General guidance (not from this manual): check monthly and replace 1-in. filters every 1–3 months, or follow the filter maker's guidance and your owner's manual.
Pull the old filter and read the size printed on its frame. Nominal sizes are rounded up: a 15.5 x 24.5 in. filter is sold as 16 x 25.
Your furnace manual lists the filter's dimensions, not its MERV rating. Higher-MERV filters restrict more air. Manufacturers such as Carrier recommend keeping the clean-filter pressure drop under 0.2 in. w.c. (ideally under 0.1). Lennox warns that an over-restrictive filter can trip the high limit in winter and freeze the coil in summer. If you want MERV 11–13, a 4-in. media cabinet is the usual route. Ask an HVAC tech to check static pressure. Nominal sizes are rounded: a filter labeled 16 x 25 x 1 actually measures about 15.5 x 24.5 x 0.75.

¹ Natural Gas BTU/h
² DOE AFUE based upon Isolated Combustion System (ICS)
³ Installer must supply one or two PVC pipes: one for combustion air (optional) and one for the flue outlet (required).
Vent pipe must be either 2" or 3" in diameter, depending upon furnace input, number of elbows, length of run
and installation (1 or 2 pipes). The optional Combustion Air Pipe is dependent on installation/code requirements
and must be 2" or 3" diameter PVC.
⁴ Minimum Circuit Ampacity = (1.25 x Circulator Blower Amps) + ID Blower amps. Wire size should be determined
in accordance with National Electrical Codes. Extensive wire runs will require larger wire sizes.
⁵ Maximum Overcurrent Protection Device refers to maximum recommended fuse or circuit breaker size.
May use fuses or HACR-type circuit breakers of the same size as noted.
