What You Need to Know

Is MERV 13 too high for residential?

Using a MERV 13 air filter in your home may not be necessary. While they catch small particles great, they can slow down airflow and make your HVAC system work harder and use more energy. Most homes are fine with a MERV 8 or 11 filter, they offer a good balance of air quality and system efficiency. But if someone in your household has severe allergies or respiratory issues, it may be worth considering a MERV 13 filter. Check with an HVAC pro to make sure your system can handle it.

What does HVAC stand for?

HVAC stands for Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning. It’s all about keeping your home just the way you like it – warm in winter, cool in summer, and the air fresh all year round!

Do I need MERV 13?
