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.

The specialists from Alliance did a 10/10 job installing 2 split systems throughout the apartment. 5/5
Kevin M.
Andre, the technician, was professional, efficient, punctual, and courteous. Clearly explained the process and a answered my questions. Left the work area clean and tidy.
Melita P.
I recently used Alliance Climate Control for air conditioning service, and I am thoroughly impressed with their professionalism, efficiency, and overall customer care.

From the moment I contacted them, the team was responsive and helpful. They scheduled a visit quickly and arrived exactly when they said they would. The technician was friendly, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything clearly, without any pressure or upselling—just honest, expert advice.

The service itself was completed promptly and to a high standard. The technician worked efficiently, respected my home, and made sure everything was cleaned up perfectly afterward. Since the service, my AC has been working better than ever, and the difference in comfort is immediately noticeable.

It’s not often you find a company that combines great technical expertise with such excellent customer service, but Alliance Climate Control truly delivers on both. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, professional services.

Thank you to the entire team at Alliance—you’ve earned a loyal customer!
Arturo C.
Very professional and thorough
Kay M.
Thank you for your prompt timing, honest feedback and integrity. Amazing human. Everything you want from a tradesman!!!
Kaitlyn P.
Great reliable service. Signed up for yearly servicing of our system. Alliance contacts me to remind and book in. Kyle our technician was fantastic. Professional, polite, worked incredibly hard to solve a problem with our system. Cannot fault the service provided. Honest and reliable business.
Christopher W.
Alliance Climate Control,
I would like to thank the entire Alliance team for an outstanding ducted air conditioning installation and service.
In particular, Goran for providing an immediate quote and scheduling, and the technicians Kevin, Dragan, Garret and Harry for their reliable, professional, cooperative and tidy work.
I would definitely refer Alliance to friends and colleagues for any air conditioning needs.
Thank you for a job well done. Happy to be cosy once more.
Cheers
Chris

I had a multiheaded and large AC installed last week and the team were very friendly and efficient. Big thanks to Ivan, Brody, Mosa, Vash and Blade for getting such a big and complicated job done so quicky.
William M.
Excellent work, friendly people.
K B.
Excellent and very thorough service for our air conditioning unit. The technician was very knowledgeable and understanding of our issues and didn’t pressure us to choose the more expensive option (even though we did!) We hadn’t had the unit cleaned for many years and wanted a thorough de-molding like we had seen on the manufacturer’s website where they use a plastic “hood” around the unit and spray it with a cleaning chemical. He was able to offer this service, and the results were fantastic- it’s super clean and no lingering smell. Their services are not cheap, but worth it for the helpful communication, skillful service and happy technicians!
Joanne H.
Andres was polite and very helpful. He kept me informed at every step. Cleanup was impeccable, left everything clean and tidy.
Jo D.
Great air con service, prior to and on the day of the visit. Would definitely recommend Alliance Climate Control
Derek L.
Hi All,
Just had our two air conditioning units deep cleaned by Damien. Very impressed with his professionalism and no nonsense approach to the jobs. Would highly recommend. 😉
Hugues D.
Quite the job done! Half of a previous aircon installation to remove as well as a single room system, all to be replaced with a central aircon. Done over 2 days with no fuss, reusing air vents, cleaning up old junk.
I W
What an exceptional team at Alliance!

Thanks to BJ, Meedy, Eric, Charles, TK, Blade, Liam, Will and JJ who arranged, planned and installed a Daikin Air Conditioner along with tidying up the electrical meter board at my heritage building, listening to and meeting all my requests at a very high standard.

Without having to ask or supervise, they worked seamlessly, tucked away all pipe work and electricals neatly, kept clean at all stages of the job from using drop sheets to dry and wet cleaning up along the way, without asking, as well as installed both the internal aircon and external unit with great precision and care so they neatly fit into and disappeared into the surroundings as well as carefully placed drainage pipes in discreet locations to feed my garden.

And on top of all that, they constantly checked in with me throughout the job that I was happy with all placements...even letting me know when there would be some noise as the units were installed...which was minimal.

The whole team was also so friendly and pleasant throughout their work despite having to climb up and down over 100 stairs and worked with great care and attention at all times.

I cannot rave about them enough and was blown away by their dedication and consideration during all aspects of the job.

Thank you Alliance for your excellent service! I highly recommend using them because their price was competitive and their service was impeccable and above all they are a responsible and reliable team that you can trust!
Peter W.
Very professional and on time
Simone
Highly recommend ! Excellent customer service each and every time .
Dipak J.
Matt, Tommy, Gokhan and Kim just completed a job for us.

We are in an older property in the inner west and needed AC solutions for three bedrooms.

The team came up with solutions that took care of the aesthetics of the house and minimising unsightly pipes.

The installation team were polite, professional and super careful & clean.

The final close out was also highly professional.

Highly recommended…
Neil L.
Two teams worked on our place:

Andres , Cristian and Qais replaced our ducted system, and Vy, Luan and Maison installed a separate split system where ducted couldn't reach.

Both teams did an excellent job.

Everyone arrived on time, walked us through what was going to be done and were happy to answer any questions. They were friendly and professional. Completed install on time, showed us how the new system worked and made sure we were happy. Cleaned up afterwards too - as promised.

Ducted team worked for two days in some hot conditions, removed old unit and ducting and disposed off. Hassle free for us. Install of new system, ducting and control system was trouble free for us.

Split team did a great job too - gave advice on best position for indoor and outdoor unit, clean efficient install, tidied up after themselves. Really professional.

Great from start to finish.
David K.
Giannis was extremely good.
Maria L.
I can’t praise them enough how professional and kind both young men were today! Both were listening at what I was asking and gave options to what was needed to service my ducted aircon.
Thank you Kyle and Chris! Also thank you Alliance Climate Control as the culture of any team comes from the top.
Clair C.
Fantastic job, Clear communication a 30min heads up, clean, tidy and professional. B.J and Masam highly recommend!
Daphne P.
The installation of replacement air conditioners on my property was smooth, efficient and very welcome.
I'd like to congratulate Gabriel, Will & Joe in the office for their helpfulness and clarity. And a big shout out to BJ, Meedy and Eric for the actual work.
They were excellent in their work and their manners and courtesy exemplary. Thank you, Daphne
Christine H.

Lorraine H.
Very happy to provide feedback on the service provided by the professional young tradesmen working for Alliance. They do their employer proud by their respect, knowledge and friendly service.
Neal S.
Fantastic service; from the clear, considered, value-add advice during the quoting process to the pre-site communications, through to the very professional, polite and informative installation team (Vy, Luan and Diego), the whole process of replacing one of our ducted systems was stress-free, expertly delivered and fully commissioned and explained in a very timely manner. Will use Alliance again and I have no hesitation in recommending them to any of my friends or contacts.
Adam
Awesome job from start to finish, quality work and a great bunch of guys,professional and friendly, on time and would recommend these guys for your next air conditioning installation! 5 star performance
North P.
Had a great experience with Alliance Climate Control. The team was friendly, explained everything clearly, and did both service and repair work efficiently. They cleaned up after themselves and left everything tidy. I’d definitely recommend them.
Jenny O.
My husband and I had an excellent experience with Alliance. Everyone we dealt with was professional in manner and presentation and prompt in response. Shabi, Danie, Eric and Juan worked hard over 2 days to install the new air conditioning in an older home with tricky aspects. They were also careful to leave the site clean and safe after work each day.

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
