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.

Great service from first call to installation. Tommy, Shabi and Miguel have done a great job. Worked carefully, provided lots of information, kept us in the loop about what was being done. Everything tested and system explained. Cleaned up and left in great condition. All round best service we have had from tradespeople.

Terry H.

From the moment Liam arrived to give us a quote the whole process was seamless and so professional. Great price and perfectly designed for our house. I cannot speak highly enough of the installers. Yunus and his team were so accommodating and professional. Perfect installation plus they left the house perfectly clean and tidy and removed all the rubbish. Alliance are big on customer satisfaction and what’s not to like about that. We will be using Alliance again.

Paul S.

The installation of my mother-in-law's split-system went better than expected, a good team with B.J., Daniel and the others, from the quotation to the electrician, doing a quick turnaround with minimal noise and mess. The previous system and all materials were removed along with all packaging. Thanks guys.

John M.

Good job.

Tommy, Dragan, Miguel, JJ and Peter did the job for me and were great - super efficient, cleaned up well and made sure none of my furniture was damaged, and the aircon works great! Definitely recommend.

Ashok J.

I am very pleased with the professionalism and efficiency of Alliance Climate Control as a company and also want to make special mention of Jake Perri, Zach Grenfel, Tommy and his team who installed the new ducted unit and Harry and his team who resealed the ceiling, for their excellent work.

Gravy 2

Excellent work from team professional and proficient. Tommy, Dragan, Emerson, Ben, Kaspar and Harry

James W

Jason and his team at Alliance were professional, punctual and transparent with all the works and fees required. They were responsive and fast with diagnosing, fixing and servicing our air conditioning units on the same day. They also gave us multiple options to keep costs as low as possible which is wonderful considering all works had itemised pricing so that level of transparency was very much appreciated. Thank you and would highly recommend!

James A.

Even the word “outstanding” wouldn’t be a strong enough adjective to describe the professionalism, responsiveness, thoughtfulness and quite possibly unmatched competence of this organisation. This is the second time I’ve engaged their services to rectify issues with my apartment’s ducted air conditioning system and will absolutely do so again.

Peter C.

Great

Michael K.

This company did a great job in changing over our ageing ducted system. The whole process from the initial enquiry, visit from the technician and the installation team was second to none. Alliance provided regular updates and ensured that communication was clear and costs were transparent. A great example of quality workmanship and professional customer service.

Jennifer L.

Alliance installed aircon to our 2 storey 1970s house. The team - Thomas, Gokhan, Dragan, Emre and led by Yunus, were fantastic, from arriving on time to leaving the house perfectly clean after the installation process. They went about everything professionally and expertly, always keeping us informed as they progressed through the various stages, and clearly explaining how the system would be configured and how it operates. They dealt with challenges such as working at heights, their workmanship inside and out was expert and immaculate. They were a pleasure to have in our home. Our great thanks to Yunus for all his thoughtful guidance and each of the team, who all went out of their way to ensure a remarkable job, exceeding our expectations.

Julian S.

Very professional and thorough. No damage and all mess cleaned up. New air con working flawlessly.

Mitchell R.

Yunus and team were very professional and did a very neat job. Worked late Friday afternoon and evening to get it done.

chris P.

Extremely helpful, the team that installed the New air conditioning fantastic they went out of there way, also cleaning up afterwards. Big shout out to Yunus 👍

Linden D.

The team at Alliance were incredible - professional, helpful and knowledgeable in all aspects of the job. From quote to service on site, the Alliance team made us feel as though we were the most important people in their business. There was no pressure to buy - they simply presented us with options that were both cost effective and were tailored to meet the unique needs of our property. The instal team - Yunus, Gothan and Emie- were incredible. They protected our space with considerable care and did an amazing job - even ensuring our pets were comfortable and not disturbed by the noise of instal, dust or their work. Yunus led his team well and was extremely knowledgeable- happy to share that knowledge with us to ensure we made the most of the air con unit they installed. To be honest the air con unit became less the focus of our experience with Alliance - really my rating is for the Alliance team and their amazing attention to first rate service and focus on the customer as an individual. Did we get a good product and value for money - yes, definitely. But it is the total experience of working with the Alliance team that we will remember and tell others about. Hence this rather long google review. Every word is true. They’re great.

LuLu S

Alliance were recommended to us by friends. James, the sales guy, came out and gave us a few options for our a/c installation. I never, at any point, felt pressured to use their company but I'm glad I did. We chose a multi head Panasonic which suited our house restrictions. You can control it using the normal remote or an App. Which is good for when your kid forgets to turn it off and you aren't home!

The communication was excellent with Alliance every step of the way (sales, accounts, schedulers, installers, electricians etc) and we were very happy with the final installation by Yunus, Gokhan, Dragan and Thomas. Everyone was polite, neat and seemed to know what they were doing.

Alliance were able to the whole job, including electrical work. Very convenient and recommended. Thanks.

Kim H.

I was very happy with very professional work done in installing my aircon units . Very clean & careful with my furniture &unit.The whole crew were good Yumus, Gokhon,Emre plus the units are a lot quieter then expected & I love that they match the outside with colour bond cover over the the pipe. They had all the diagrams & certificates for strata & also electricians. So have no trouble recommending this company.

indra A.

Andres R/Ivan T Galvis did an excellent job installing our ducted air conditioning. They were very professional, punctual, kept our house really tidy and cleaned up after. The Allianz team and the guys did a wonderful job and were very happy

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.
