MERV 13 Air Filters

MERV 13 is effective at controlling airborne bacteria, most tobacco smoke and pollutants released through sneezing as well as dust, pollen, dust mites, and pet dander.

They capture 90% micron-sized contaminants. Applicable in residential homes, general surgery suites, smoking lounges, and commercial buildings with superior HVAC units.

WHAT MERV 13 AIR FILTER DO YOU NEED?

So what does MERV 13 protect against?

In short, MERV 13 blocks fine particles 1 microns and smaller.

These includes:

Dust
Pollen
Dust mites
Bacteria
Pet Dander (unless you have more than one pet)
Cigarette smoke
Smog
Germs
Mold Spores

If you’re looking for a more affordable air filter, MERV 8 is the best option. If germs, mold spores, are not a concern, MERV 11 is the way to go.

Available MERV 13 Air Filter Sizes

“MERV” is the standard rating system used in the HVAC industry to determine how well a filter works.

And this is important because there are a lot of dangerous particles that will pass through your home HVAC system. Most of which, you won’t even notice… until it’s too late.

So ASHRAE (the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air-Condition Engineers) developed the MERV rating system so that you can fairly evaluate different quality air filters.

The MERV rating works like this. The higher the MERV number, the smaller the holes and the less that can pass through. (Anything above it will restrict airflow too much and could damage your HVAC system).

To get the top-rated MERV 13 filter, made with mini pleats and odor reduction technology, see the Filter King Titanium — it is the highest efficiency Filter King filter on the market. And it will keep your home air safe and healthy.

MERV 13 Filters

Recommended Users

We recommend MERV 13 for anyone with a newborn baby in their house. Because babies are more susceptible to indoor air pollution.

But also, if you have chronic or severe breathing problems, a MERV 13 rating would be good for you.

Breathing problems would include:

Allergies
Asthma
COPD
Emphysema
Chronic bronchitis
Lung disease

And anyone in the household who requires the use of an inhaler, oxygen tank, or ventilation machine, they would also fall into this category.

MERV 13 is also recommended for people with weakened immune systems who may be affected by airborne pathogens and viruses.

Performance

While MERV 13 air filters cannot provide a completely sterile environment — no air filter can do that — they will provide the cleanest air quality for your home.

At this point, it’s also important to note: MERV ratings go above 13. However, they’re too restrictive for normal home HVAC systems, and thus using them can cause potentially expensive problems.

But MERV 13 air (or furnace) filters will block most bacteria and virus-carrying particles so that your indoor air environment stays clean from all the normal pollutants and allergens.

As one customer wrote:

These filters were “easy to order, fast delivery. [They] fit right in, took 3 minutes to install,”

And now?

“Now easy breathing!”

Recommended Users

MERV 13 is the best filter for your home.

We recommend this filter if anyone in your household has lung problems or a weakened immune system that leaves them susceptible to viruses and bacteria.

But we also recommend it to anyone who wants the best residential air filter for airborne bacteria and pollutants.

And, to get the version with mini pleats and odor reduction technology, choose the Filter King Titanium, the highest efficiency Filter King filter on the market.

A MERV 13 air filter will provide the strongest possible protection without compromising the reliability of the fan of the HVAC system.

If anyone needs a clean indoor environment for health reasons then a MERV 13 air filter is the best option.
