MERV 13 Air Filters Profile:

When it comes to furnace filters for your home you only want the best, right? Air filter ratings, known as MERV ratings, indicate what size particles a filter can capture. The higher the MERV rating for a filter, the smaller the particle size it can capture.

What does MERV 13 rating mean?

MERV 13 filters are constructed of high-quality pleated filter media that will effectively reduce pollen, dust, pet dander, mold spores, dust mites, virus-carrying particles, bacteria, cooking oils, and other allergens as small as 0.3 microns in your home’s air. Filters with a MERV 13 rating are ideal for pet owners, allergy sufferers, or those who often experience sinus irritation. 

MERV 13 Furnace Filter Size: 

FiltersFast.com Brand MERV 13 furnace filters are available in a variety of sizes and come in 1-in., 2-in., 3-in., and 4-in. depths. Ensuring that you have the correct size air filter is important. If a filter is too large, you will not be able to install it properly, and if it is too small, it can allow harmful airborne contaminants to get into your home's air and system. DO NOT cut an air filter to fit. This can cause a multitude of problems for your home's air system. 

Airflow:

While MERV 13 air filters will reduce more particles in your home’s air, they will also reduce the amount of airflow. Minimizing airflow can put a strain on your furnace and HVAC system, which can lead to costly system repair and high energy costs. If you’re not sure what MERV rating your HVAC system is rated to handle, we recommend selecting a MERV 8 or MERV 11 filter instead.

Maintainance: 

While selecting the right air filter for your home is important, changing it regularly is just as important. It is recommended that you change your AC filter every 1-3 months for the best results.
