unable to find air filter location for Bard fc095d36e oil furnace

There is no cover on the compartment where the blower is housed? Has to be, even if there is no filter, you'd need to be able to access it to replace the blower motor if it failed, etc. Usually there are a couple of obvious screws, typically thumbscrews that secure one end of the cover.

This help?

I've uploaded some pictures:

Where does the return plenum connect to the furnace? The filter would be right there, where the air enters the blower chamber. Can't figure out anything from those pics. It should be at the opposite side from where the burner is.

What is that horizontal cylinder in the top left corner of the 4th picture? The picture shows part of the tag.

I've seen where it is just a lift-off panel of folded sheet metal. ... no handle or latches at all. And the 2 filters just sat on / against sheet metal "ledges" inside - and had to be installed in a specific way - angling them in through the "door" and then straightening them into position - to avoid bending & damaging them.

Based on the Model number starting with FC, and Figure 17 at

it appears Ruk has a Counterflow model where the filter, if any, is on top of the furnace. From his pic of the top, it appears he does not have the factory option filter box.

Probably his house is a ranch on a slab, like my first house was , and the furnace "blew" down, not up, as the hot air ducts are in the slab floor.

I made an error with the original furnace number, should be FC085D36E. Unfortunately, I think I found out why I can't locate any filters because it doesn't have any, according to a "kit" that was to be installed:

Not sure. This model apparently was supposed to use two filters in that configuration:

Correct, according to a pdf I found, no filter box that had to be installed separately. I made an error with the original furnace number, should be FC085D36E.

Yes, a house on a slab. The prior owner did mention something about an odor everytime the heater ran and I now smell this. Hard to describe, but certainly doesn't smell like oil. My first thought was that maybe the filter needed changed, but since there is none I don't have a clue. When it runs, it is smooth as can be (meaning flame and combustion seem fine and not running rough) and heats the house accordingly, but the odor is stronger in some rooms than in others. It also comes and goes.

You might consider having the ducts cleaned. My slab house was a new build, and we were only there 2 years, but I suspect that over time moisture ( and mold) could build up in them.

In my next new house, with a basement, I found lots of construction debris under the registers in several rooms !!

Is it behind the return air grill? That is common here because it traps the dust before it gets into the return air duct.

It is very common here. That is why I mentioned it. The thought is you are not putting dust in your return ducts.

Sometimes the filters are at the air return vent(s).
