Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most-asked questions about MERV ratings.
What's the difference between MERV 10 and MERV 13?+
MERV 10 catches dust, pollen, and pet dander — perfect for most homes. MERV 13 also captures finer particles like smoke, bacteria, and some viruses — recommended for allergy sufferers, homes near wildfires, or anyone who wants the highest level of filtration available for residential HVAC.
Will MERV 13 hurt my HVAC system?+
Modern HVAC systems handle MERV 13 without issue, especially when the filter is replaced on schedule. If you have a much older or low-power system, MERV 10 is a safer bet. When in doubt, check your system manual or ask us — we'll help you pick.
