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. 

If you want to start enjoying clean, healthy air, contact the team at Alliance today. We offer a wide range of MERV 13 filters and other indoor air quality products to meet your needs. Call us today for more information or to book a MERV 13 filter installation appointment!

 

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.

Wonderful workers. Efficient, polite & hard working
Vicki B.
I am so impressed by Damon from Alliance Climate Control who has just finished servicing my 3 air conditioners. He was efficient and polite and was very willing to answer my questions and his answers gave me confidence that he knew what he was doing. So impressed I’ve signed up for a 3 year maintenance plan. I highly recommend this bright young man and the company itself that presents as very professional.
Leesa E.
VY - Luaw- Miguel were amazing! Great professionals.. thanks Team! The outdoor installation and in room look great!
Patricia G.
Excelente work very profesional. Highly recommended.
Alexey B.
Amazing maintenance service one year after the installation. The technician arrived on time, on the dot effectively, and spent 2 full hours cleaning filters and aircon unit bodies, checking everything etc. The units and filters were in a good condition, but this demonstrates the thoroughness of the service.
Andrew L.
From quoting to install, the Alliance team were helpful, professional and accommodating. They were competitive on price and went the extra mile on customer service
Karen H.
Damien serviced all 5 of our conditioners which took most of the day. Cheerful, friendly and efficient. Quietly got on with the job.
Neil “Brownie” B.
Kyle did a terrific job today servicing 3 split systems, great communication, very tidy, and good explanation of everything he found.

I also had Ivan Mosa and Brody install a new system in my bedroom. Very clean and neat job, terrific communication and I’m super happy with the results.
Daniel H.
The professionalism blew me away. They were amazing from the quotation process through to the installation. When there was a bit not scoped correctly they honoured their fixed quote. Could not recommend these guys anymore espessially Yasin, if there were 10 stars I would give it to them!
Michele
On time, excellent communication when arranging aircon service. Friendly, efficient knowledgeable and courteous technician (Damon).
Jerry B.
Rodriguez, Ivan and the Alliance Team were very professional and did a great job explaining everything to me and cleaned up thoroughly after the job was done. They are a credit to the Alliance team.
Simon van W.
We installed our air conditioning 5 years ago. The installation was perfect and we have had no issues in all the time we have owned the system. We had to get them back because one unit was leaking water. They were prompt to attend to the problem, admitted that some of the problem was their issue and they would cover the fix themselves.

They owned the problem. They are always very polite. The engineers they send out are highly professional, leavve no mess, take off their boots and are good at communication with the client.

I've recommended them to many people..
Ingrid W.
Charles & Dara installed a new air conditioner in the loungeroom of my period home in Sydney's eastern suburbs and did an outstanding job. They talked me through the whole process and checked that I was happy at every step. They were also very clean, used loads of drop sheets and even vaccumed which was such a pleasure to see how much they cared and Dara quickly problem solved when it was necessary to alter plans without delay or extra cost. Charles also spent the time to carefully show me all aspects of the units operation and thoroughly checked through all its functions leaving me without any worry. This team is amazing and offer quality workmanship and peace of mind at every stage at a good price. I will definitely be using them again! In fact I have planned another air conditioning installation in 2 weeks!
Inga P.
Great I am so happy, finally can get a good sleep.
Vras K.
Excellent service by friendly and knowledgeable technician
Christine W.
Installation went very well. Great crew of happy workers. Efficient and polite.
Thalia M.
Both team members were really lovely, polite and did a great, honest job. We were really happy with the service we received.
Aileen H.
Alliance installed our air-conditioner. The whole team did a great job, but I specially have to acknowledge the electrical team who were given a bit of a difficult task running the wiring as we didn't have access under the floor. However they were meticulous and installed it to perfection. They were very thoughtful about covering areas of our kitchen so that it wouldn't be covered with dust too. We really appreciated the considerate nature of how this was managed. Many thanks!
Joanne L.
We are very happy with our aircon installation (multi-split system). Alliance did an amazing job and were very thorough. Thankyou to Aysa for answering our lead up queries and to Tommy, Gokhan and Miguel for their professional, friendly and efficient work on the day of installation.
sam B.
they were 100% and cleaned up really well. They came back a day later to make sure everything was OK. Thanks!
Danuta W.
Great service, professional and friendly :).
David S.
BIG thank you - Eυχαριστώ - to Giannis (Yiannis) for patching up a few spots after our air con installation! As with any work done on an older home, we expected a few areas might flake or chip, totally understandable.

True to their word, Alliance Climate promised that if anything was scratched or damaged during installation, they’d fix it afterwards. Sure enough, Giannis reached out and came by to repair and paint everything back to good-as-new.

This guy is fantastic, he patched up everything perfectly!
Thanks again, Giannis, and thanks to the whole Alliance Climate team for standing by your service! 👏
David
HUGE shoutout to the Alliance Air Climate Control installation team — Vy, Luan, Kaspar, Harry (the MASTER ceiling cutter for old houses!!), Liam, Charlie, the electrician, and their co-worker — every single one of them was terrific and so friendly over the two days! 👏

We’ve just had our 5-zone ducted system plus 2 split units installed, and my wife and I couldn’t be happier with the result. Previously we had a gas heating system installed by another company, and it wasn’t done satisfactorily. The difference with Alliance has been night and day.

What really stood out to us was the strong team feel — they work seamlessly together, communicate clearly, and talk you through each step of the process. They also came up with excellent ideas to maximise the efficiency of our units.

A big thank you as well to James Greene, who provided the initial quote. He was highly professional, patient with our questions, and came up with a plan that matched exactly what we were hoping for.

Needless to say, my wife and I will be recommending Alliance Air to anyone looking for air conditioning installation — an outstanding experience from start to finish! 🌟
Natasha
I wanted to take a moment to share my exceptional experience with your company regarding the outstanding professionalism exhibited by your team. From the moment they arrived they demonstrated a strong commitment to cleanliness and respect for my home.
Throughout their visit they maintained this high standard and displayed a polite demeanor addressing all my queries with effective solutions.
I specifically want to express my gratitude to Shazim and his associate. His dedication to providing excellent service did not go unnoticed and is greatly appreciated. Thank you for providing such a professional environment.
Tehrese J.
Charles was a super star sparky who resolved our electrical needs with confidence, knowledge & experience. Charles has a great combination of technical skills, problem-solving skills and people skills. Thank you Charles. Thanks also to your capable apprentice (sorry for not catching his name, but he is studying hard at Kogarah TAFE). Polite, knowledgeable, thorough & professional job. Highly recommend this team and company !
Steph K.
The ACC team recently replaced our old HVAC ducted system with a new Fujitsu system, and we are super pleased with how the whole process panned out!

The initial inspection by Jake was prompt, thorough and very informative. He answered all our questions clearly and offered us the various options in a format that was easy to digest.

Once we locked in our desired option, we were happily surprised by how quickly we were able to lock in a mutually suitable installation date.

The installation team led by Garrett were top notch! Daniel, JJ, Harry, Qais, Aden and Vish were all excellent, professional and meticulous at doing the job to a high standard. The team was quick to find solutions when issues arose, left the place spotless and ensured that the job was completed in 1 day which minimised any inconvenience to our usual work schedules...

We highly appreciated that they have an in-house team of various trades (plastering, electrical...) to handle any unexpected or anticipated collateral issues that might arise during the installation process.

The system is working great so far and we are super pleased with our choice!

Highly recommend choosing Alliance for installing your air con!
Sue P.
Great service from the whole team. From my first contact with Alliance, they were responsive, professional, polite, thoughtful and prompt. I received great advice and they completed my job to a high standard.
Mark G.
Qais and his team did a great job installing our split system, with two head units, into our second floor unit. It was not a straightforward install but they went out of their way to ensure that the units were installed to meet our expectations. We were also happy with our interactions with Aysa and the electrician Jiayi during the planning phase and installation. Everyone was polite, professional, and worked hard throughout the day to get the job finished. Thanks all!
Phil D.
Shazim & Brandon were timely, thorough, and did a great job. Fixed the problem and provided top feedback. Highly recommended.
Scott Dixon S.
The alliance team was absolutely amazing from start to finish!
We struggled getting appointments from other HVAC vendors who came in and gave us estimations that were completely out of sight and then with the assistance of Catherine, we were able to schedule, a fantastic appointment with Alex, which resulted in a new system and installation the following day by an incredibly professional and meticulous installation team
No need to search for any other trades, this one is the best and don’t settle for less!

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
