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.

David S.

Blown away by Shazim and Brandon, who were very helpful in trying to fix a problem with my air conditioning which had eluded a number of technicians from other companies over the previous years. Wonderful work, place left clean, helpful and polite service.

Gail J.

Comprehensive efficient service. Problem solved then provided solutions.

Ace G.

I recently had a new air conditioner installed by the team from Alliance Climate Control, led by Vy and supported by Luang, Jamie, Harry, Peter, and Kaj. From start to finish, the service was absolutely first class. The team was professional, efficient, and went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly.

Thank you for delivering such an outstanding customer experience. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Alliance Climate Control again and highly recommend them to anyone seeking reliable and high-quality air conditioning services.

Christian Claye E.

I usually sizzle with hate 'n anger if I'm paying a trillion dollars. But these lads were nuthin short of top shelf, the whole way - utterly professional, thoughtful, polite... and decent 'n honest - a word i do not use lightly. But everything is easier when yve got a shit ton of air con. Cheers

Fergus B.

Needed to either fix or replace our Daikin split air con, we inherited it when we moved in.
Gabriel came for a visit, checked the condition of everything and then explained the issues and potential solutions. He then provided clear options with a formal quote.
Agreed for the replacement with a new system, seamless process.
Ivan and his team then installed it over 1.5 days, great experience, they are super professional and also helped out with a cosmetic issue due to the age of our house (1880s...)
It's been a few weeks since the install and we are very happy with the system and very satisfied with the sales and service teams we engaged with at Alliance Climate Control.
Would definitely recommend!

Dan M

Great team! Vy was attentive, responsive, and creative with both the cabling and aircon zoning solutions. The team took full ownership of the task, handled all the small side jobs without hesitation, and delivered an excellent ducted air conditioning installation. Thank you!

Christopher C.

I engaged alliance to service my two ducted air conditioner systems. Galvis spent a few hours replacing all my filters , cleaning my machines , getting rid of the rust on the machine housing and spraying anti corrosives on the coils . He paid attention to fine details and explained everything he had done to me before leaving. Alliance is not the cheapest but the job they do is of the highest quality.

Anita M.

Andres and Ivan completed a very efficient and clean replacement of my underfloor heating, great service.

Sascha C.

Alliance were extremely professional in dealing with our large complex gas system. We live in an old house with a Braemar gas heating system that is not straightforward. When it stopped pumping hot air I asked for technicians to come out who were experienced and knowledgeable and could diagnose and deal with a problem efficiently. Andre arrived and successfully diagnosed a problem with the temperature sensors damaged by water inside a duct,, and then returned with parts to re-route ducting around a leak and resolve the fault. Andre and his co-worker Brody were courteous, professional and quick workers and I was very grateful for their problem solving and professional service.

Matthew P.

Another amazing interaction with Alliance Climate Control. We had issue with our App interface so gave Jason a call, few minutes later Joseph called to inquire and decided to book an out call. Next day Andre and Kristian arrived, clean tidy and ready to help. In 10 minutes the issue sorted. I cannot speak more highly of the Technical Team and support, sooooo good. We have never been more impressed with the Alliance professional approach and support. Thanks Team.

Zara B

Have received consistently excellent service since 2023. Galvis and Damon were efficient, client-focussed, friendly, polite and explained everything we wanted to know about our system and components during our last service.

Couldn’t ask for better service (and my pets liked them which is always a good sign). Great people, would recommend to anyone.

Lucinda O.

Responsive, quick, communicative and really lovely to deal with. Will be using ACC again!
EDIT: ACC since came back and did an extensive install job - the team was so professional in their manner, the workmanship is fantastic and the final clean was so good it’s like they were never here.

Joanna C.

I highly recommend Alliance Climate Control. Thank you to Yunus and his team - Emre, Gokan, Cristian who did the removal and most of the installation and to Dragan and his team - Louis and Benjamin who finished off as well as Josh the electrician. I was very worried about replacing our old HVAC gas furnace with a new Electric HVAC. However, the professional team-based approach to the installation was highly efficient and I had nothing to worry about.

From the very start, James gave such a thorough and competitive quotation and answered all my questions. Yunus was so calm and accommodating as he lead the removal and installation and every member of the crew was so friendly and helpful. They went out of their way to ensure everything was left clean and tidy with great attention to detail.

Most importantly, we are delighted with the beautiful warm air circulating through our house.

Thank you! ¡Gracias! Tesekkürler! Hvala!

Wesley W.

The team had to come back to fix up a couple of things, easy to book and schedule, on time and sort out the problem

Edit: big shout out to Andre and Miguel

Mario V.

Today, 22.5.25 Alliance climate Control completed satisfactorily the replacement of my old AC system and installation of a new split AC System.
Firstly, Jake Perri inspected my site a week earlier and we agreed on his recommendation and price.
Today, the site team, Dragan, Louis and Benjamin were very polite, helpful and professional during the 3 hours that took to complete the works on a very rainy and wet day.
We discussed some details and issues before works commenced I was given the proper operational instructions.
I'm very satisfied with the work and operation of the new AC, even though, I have been using the system for a couple of hours.
Thank you very much for your assistance.
Regards,
Mario

Jean M.

Repair people were prompt, polite and efficient

Chris L.

Alliance have been servicing our Ducted Air Con for the last couple of years and they have always been very professional, friendly & helpful. Last week our Air Touch console was accidentally damaged & clearly needed replacement. Within a half hour of logging my repair request, I received a call from a lovely lady at Alliance who booked a service appt for the following week. Gabriel arrived with replacement console in hand. He was very competent, thorough & courteous - & kept me well informed as he installed & set up the new console. The Air Cond was up & running again, without hassle, in no time! Thanks Gabriel & the Alliance team!

CJ S.

Very professional, good system knowledge, provided options and worked to budget

Linda R.

Recommend Alliance Climate Control. ACC provided professional sales & service, & met my specific requirements. Big thanks to Jake, Tommy, James & Nick!

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.
