What is the MERV-13 Filter?

MERV stands for ‘Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value’. This is a scale that shows the effectiveness of filters at removing particles of different 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 Filter catches up to 90% of particles in the range of 1-3 µm range i.e. where PM2.5 exists. This is perfect for homes where people suffer from asthma, allergies or any other respiratory illnesses.

What does this mean?

It can remove larger particles:

Pet dander
Dust & dust mites
Mould spores
Pollen
Carpet fibres
Hairspray
Auto emissions

and can remove smaller particles:

We had multiple air conditioning companies come out to advise if and how we could install an additional head unit downstairs in our two storey, double brick apartment without using any conduit.The answer from all of them was it could not be done.... We then finally called Alliance, they came out, spent time measuring and then confirmed it could be completed with some core drilling through the slab, etc etc.Anyway D'day arrived on Monday and we were super nervous, however BJ the head installer was awesome and he did an incredible job. He could have taken the easy way out but he didn't, and we are so happy with it.Some may say it was expensive compared to a traditional install of a spilt system but we say it was worth every penny - you pay for what you get.We did have a little hiccup when they core drilled as unfortunately they cut through the antenna and internet but this was fixed the same day by their electrician.We have already recommended them to our neighbours who have booked them in and to the rest of the owners in our complex. We highly recommend them to anyone, even more so if you have a difficult install!read more

Installers arrived on time. Very courteous and professional. Cleaned up after the installation. Highly recommended.

On 5 March 2021, I had a brand new air conditioner split system from Fujitsu supplied and installed by Alliance Climate Control in the room of my younger brother. The names of the technicians were Shadi Darmo and Christian. Both were extremely... professional, polite, kind and were experts at removing the old air conditioner and fitting and installing and testing properly the new one. I was very impressed with the quality of work performed as the new air conditioner is working fine and there are no problems so far whatsoever. I will highly recommend other customers thinking of buying and installing a new air conditioner to strongly consider using Alliance Climate Control as I will be using them again because in the recent past, they also did a DEEP CLEAN of the split system Mitsubishi air conditioner in my room which is about 5+ years old and now I feel like I am in Antarctica based on the improved performance after the thorough service as the cool air blowing is THAT much colder and more forceful than ever, exactly like a brand new product. Thanks to the Alliance Team for their punctuality, excellent pricing and quality workmanship.read more

Did you know?

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 especially sensitive to PM2.5.

During the 2019-2020 Australian Bushfires; this is why authorities were recommending people to stay home or wear an N95 face mask when outdoors.

Frequently Asked Questions

If MERV-16 is the highest rating, that would provide the cleanest air in my home, right?

MERV-14 to 16 are used in facilities where it is critical to have extremely clean air such as operating theatres in hospitals. These filters can almost eliminate all airborne contaminants. Generally, these are not recommended for residential homes as it will greatly restrict the adequate airflow needed in a home. It is very important to meet halfway and make sure that you have enough airflow and removing as many contaminants as possible. Make sure you consult your HVAC specialists before you get a filter installed.

Why should I choose MERV-13?

Within a typical home, the MERV-13 strikes the right balance between efficient filtering and adequate airflow. Filters in lower MERV ratings cannot catch contaminants on a smaller scale that can affect asthma, allergies or any other respiratory concerns. For example, a MERV-8 doesn’t filter out smog, smoke, virus carriers, cooking oil, and cough and sneeze particles.

Can a MERV-13 filter really eliminate virus and bacteria carriers?

Majority of viruses spread via droplet nuclei i.e. sneeze and cough particles which range from 1 to 5 microns. These droplets then evaporate and stay 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 even up to 50% of 0.3 to 1 microns.
