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!
Are MERV 13 filters worth it?
MERV, or Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value, is how air filters are rated. A higher number means better dust and allergen removal, how well they catch particles. MERV 13 is top of the line for homes, blocks tiny particles like viruses and smoke.
Do I need MERV 13?
If you have allergies, asthma or lung issues, MERV 13 air filters can help. They are critical for newborns, smokers or people with weak immune systems. Just remember high MERV filters can stress your HVAC system so check with a pro.

There is no regulation on truth in packaging for all the filters out there. To make sure you get what you pay for, buy filters from reputable brands that manufacture them in North America.
