20x20x1 MERV 13 Allergy Air Filters - Premium USA Made Pleated AC Furnace Filters (6-Pack)

MERV 13 Performance Data

Performance Data: This MERV 13 filter has an initial resistance of 0.26 in (w.g.) and has a rated velocity (FPM) of 300.

What MERV should I get for air filter?

According to the EPA, upgrading from a low-efficiency fiberglass filter to a medium-efficiency filter (MERV 5–8) can significantly improve the air quality in a home. Higher-efficiency filters (MERV 9–12) will work even better, and a true high-efficiency filter (MERV 13–16) can remove as much as 95% of the particles that pass through it.

Will MERV 13 damage my HVAC?

It depends on the resistance of the filter which can vary by brand. According to the EPA "Most furnaces and HVAC systems can accommodate a MERV 13 filter without creating equipment problems, provided that the filter is replaced frequently." You should check with your HVAC contractor if you have an older system or are unsure. Better quality filters will have a lower resistance for the same MERV efficiency.

Is a MERV 11 or MERV 13 filter too restrictive?

In general, modern HVAC systems that have been properly designed and sized for the home are designed to handle MERV 8 to 13 air filters that will help protect air quality in the home. If you have an older system or it has not been properly sized check with an HVAC contractor that understands air quality. If they dismiss a high MERV filter without asking about performance data on the filter, you may want to check with another HVAC contractor.
