What Is a MERV 13 Filter?

A MERV 13 filter is a type of air filter certified to have passed the most rigorous tests to reduce the negative impact on indoor air quality caused by airborne particles. MERV 13 filters remove over 90% of particles down to 0.3 microns in size, making them ideal for use in homes and businesses with occupants who suffer from allergies or asthma.

MERV 13 filters are made of pleated materials to increase their surface area and improve airflow compared to other filters. This allows the MERV 13 filter to capture more particles without restricting the airflow, providing you with cleaner air and reduced indoor air pollution.

MERV stands for ‘Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value’. This is a scale that shows the effectiveness of filters at removing particles of varied sizes. The higher the number, the more particles the filter catches! As a reference, the ratings go from 1 (low) to 16 (exceptionally high filtration).

The MERV-13 strikes the right balance between efficient filtering and adequate airflow within a typical home. Therefore MERV 13 is the best filter for home air conditioning and HVAC use.

What Does a MERV 13 Filter Out?

When it comes to reducing the impact of particles in the indoor environment, MERV 13 filters are among the most effective.

Adding a MERV 13 filter to your air conditioning system is a great way to reduce the number of irritants and harmful particles in the air, including:

Through regular use, these filters can help to improve the air quality in your home or office, protecting you and your loved ones from a variety of health problems.

The MERV-13 filter catches up to 90% of particles in the 1-3 µm range, i.e., where PM2.5 exists. This is perfect for homes where people have asthma, allergies, or any other respiratory illnesses.

Particulate Matter 2.5 (PM2.5) are droplets and tiny particles in the air that are 2.5 microns or less in width. These particles are small enough to travel into our lungs. Long-term exposure to these particles can cause respiratory issues. People with cardiovascular and respiratory health concerns can be particularly sensitive to PM2.5. 

If you’re looking for a way to improve indoor air quality, consider using a MERV 13 filter.

What Are the Benefits
of A MERV 13 Filter?

MERV 13 filters are cost-effective, easy to install, and an excellent addition to any home air conditioning system. Using just one filter, you’ll enjoy cleaner air across all living areas, effortlessly removing pollutants like pet dander while increasing your system’s efficiency.

In contrast to other filters, which may work well in the short term, MERV 13 filters help improve air quality over time since they trap more particles and reduce the amount of dirt and dust in your air conditioner.

There is a range of benefits of using a MERV 13 filter, including:

Cheaper Electricity Bills – Because MERV 13 filters are designed to capture more particles, they can help reduce your electricity bills by decreasing the strain on your air conditioning system.

Better Quality Air for Those with Allergies and Asthma – A MERV 13 filter is one of the best filters on the market for those with allergies or asthma, as it can capture a large number of particles without reducing airflow. Airborne contaminants that trigger allergies or asthma attacks will be eliminated, resulting in improved comfort and health.

Less Strain on Your System – A system utilising a MERV 13 filter can work more efficiently because the filter traps particles before they clog up the system. Reducing the number of pollutants in the air conditioner’s inlet reduces strain on ductwork motors over time.

Affordability – MERV 13 filters are an affordable addition to any air conditioning system. They are noticeably cheap, considering their efficiency. They are long-lasting and resilient, reducing how often they need to be replaced.

Ease of Installation – Installing a MERV 13 filter is a breeze—it can be done in minutes with hardly any tools required. This means we can install one as part of our regular maintenance servicing, and it won’t take any extra time or effort.

Installing a MERV 13 filter is a quick and easy way to improve your air conditioning system’s overall quality and performance. Here at Alliance Climate Control, we offer a range of filters designed to meet the needs and budget of any home. So, whether you’re looking for a budget-friendly option or something that provides better quality air, we have the perfect filter. For more information, call us today.

How Often Should I Replace
My MERV 13 Filters?

MERV 13 filters do an excellent job of removing particles from the air, including dust, lint, smoke, pollen, pet dander, and more. However, like all filters, they will eventually need to be replaced.

The lifespan of a MERV 13 filter depends on the specific environment in which it is being used and the frequency with which it is cleaned or replaced. Homes with high-traffic areas or pets may need to replace their MERV 13 filters more often. However, on average, a MERV 13 filter should be replaced every 3-6 months.

Each model offers specific instructions about periodic replacement. Following these guidelines will make sure your MERV 13 filter is always up to the task of improving indoor conditions. Using a filter for too long without changing or cleaning it not only circulates pollutants back into your home but also reduces its overall effectiveness.

Having your air conditioner fitted with a MERV 13 filter can often result in significant savings on your energy bill and improve your quality of life. More importantly, it’s easy to do, thanks to the team at Alliance. We stock a wide range of MERV filters and can help you choose the right one for your specific needs. For more information or to get a MERV filter fitted today, call us right now.

I am very happy to support a local business, especially when they go "above and beyond" in customer service and professionalism, from Chris doing the quote, the office team handling the booking (thank you so much for bringing my job forward!), and the install team, Dragan, Cristian and Miguel, who consulted with me at every step and paid attention to the finer details, like plumbing in both discharge pipes to the downpipe a couple of metres away. Great job, thank you boys!

I have had an amazing experience from start to finish. We first met James who walked us through the different models and what was possible for our unit. James also was very efficient with the necessary paperwork required for strata approval. In regards to the installation Dzagan, Christian and Harry were amazing and did a great job with installing and cleaning up!. I also loved the fridge magnet that doubles as a bottle opener. Great experience and would recommend to anyone.

Alliance did a great job installing our AC units. They were prompt in their replies, quick in quoting, reasonably priced, and the install process was smooth. We were impressed by their professionalism during the installation as well and left the place spotless after install. Thanks to Tommy, Nick, Miguel, JJ, and Vash for their great job done!

I could not be happier with the installation of our ducted heating and cooling system, right in time for the hot summer season. All the options were clearly explained and Liam was great at providing his expert recommendations. The job was scoped and booked in quickly considering the time of year. A truly professional, courteous and efficient team did the install, thank you so much Vy, Shabi, Miguel, Benjamin, Peter and Vash. Everything was seamlessly coordinated with minimal disruption, including electrical work. Highly recommend. Thank you so much!

I recently had my old ducted air conditioning system replaced by Alliance Climate Control. It was an excellent experience from initial contact right through to installation completion, with the company's focus on quality solutions and service very apparent. I am absolutely thrilled with my new system and highly recommend Alliance Climate Control.For those interested in more detail...The original ducted air conditioning system installed when my house was built had been inoperable for a few years, had needed extensive maintenance while it was working, and never really performed satisfactorily when temperatures were outside a moderate range. The orientation of my house with respect to the summer sun, the use of specific rooms, and a fair quantity of heat-generating gear added a special twist to my requirements.Goran and Jake clearly took these requirements and my priorities fully into consideration in the solution they designed, as typical setups like the original just do not work for me. With a dual system required the cost was obviously higher than a single system so they also provided a less expensive alternative, but ultimately I decided on the premium solution as the ability to operate effectively, without restriction, on both the hottest days and coldest nights was important to me. Goran's help in finalising this was greatly appreciated.It was a three-day installation, starting in near-40-degree temperatures and ending in pouring rain, but the team worked hard to ensure the installation was completed on time.The core installation team of Andres, Ivan and Benjamin were fantastic, and were there for all three days including the whole of the final extremely long day. Other Alliance team members attended at various times throughout the installation as needed. Everyone was friendly, professional, and clearly took pride and care in their work. There were a few hurdles during the installation which the team took in stride: as the customer it definitely felt like ensuring I was happy was the priority.I was impressed with the care they took, for example when manouvering bulky equipment around my house, double-checking that things were storm-safe after the initial work in the roof, protecting nearby surfaces when cutting holes in the ceiling, meeting my super-pedantic requirements for positioning equipment... even wrangling manufacturer-faulty ceiling grilles so I would not be bothered by their out-of-alignment appearance for the few days until they were replaced. They also cleaned up thoroughly at the end of each day's work.The new systems are amazingly quiet, both inside and outside, easy to control, and very effective in the limited use they've had so far. I'm actually looking forward to a stinking hot day to truly bask in the contrast, and in the meantime am happily enjoying how much more comfortable my house is.

Very happy with the work yesterday by Dragan, Louis, JJ et al to install an air conditioner at our terrace house - and with James who prepared the quote. It was a complex job and I was impressed at how Alliance was able to swing in extra resources to get the job finished on time. They were very courteous, hard working and cleaned up well at the end of the job.

Very happy with this service! Organising the callout was super convenient, the team were very patient and explained everything very clearly. I was able to call back and easily arrange a service after double checking with other providers. Raj was really helpful during the callout, he went immediately into work and fixed my old ducted system and gave his suggestions on next actions. He answered all my questions and took care to go through the issues. He gave exact 30min call before his arrival and was done within the hour or so. I will go back to ACC for any future jobs!

Goran, Zac and Michael were super helpful and patient in answering all my questions prior to installation of a split system in my strata apartment. BJ, Kim and Anthony, the installers on the day, were fantastic, everything ran smoothly and my home was left tidy. I am very happy with Alliance and would not hesitate in recommending them. Thanks guys!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a MERV-13 Filter Eliminate Bacteria and Virus Carriers?

Most viruses (including COVID-19) spread via droplet nuclei, i.e., sneeze and cough particles ranging from 1 to 5 microns. These droplets then evaporate and remain suspended in the air for a long time. The MERV-13 filter can remove up to 90% of contaminants within 1 to 10 microns and up to 50% of 0.3 to 1 micron.

Are Do MERV 13 Filters Restrict Airflow?UV Light Air Purifiers Safe?

Some clients worry that MERV filters will restrict airflow and cause their heating or cooling systems to work harder. However, MERV 13 filters are designed to work with your system, not against it. MERV 13 filters actually improve airflow in your home or office, reducing airflow congestion by removing dirt before it clogs up your system

Which is better: MERV 13 or HEPA filter?

MERV-13 filters are more suitable for home air conditioning and HVAC use than HEPA filters. This is because MERV-13 filters still allow for adequate airflow. Learn more in our MERV 13 and HEPA filter comparison guide
