MERV 11 Air Filters

MERV 11 is effective at controlling dust, pollen, dust mites, and pet dander. Applicable in most commercial buildings, residences, industrial workplaces, and paint booths.

The MERV 11 will increase indoor air quality by removing 85% of micron sized contaminants in the air which maintains the efficiency of the HVAC unit. It is also highly recommended if there are pets in the home which can greatly reduce the air quality indoors.

So what does MERV 11 protect against?

MERV 11 blocks fine particles 3 microns and smaller.

These includes:

  • Dust
  • Pollen
  • Dust mites
  • Pet Dander (unless you have more than one pet)
  • Cigarette smoke
  • Smog

If you’re looking for a more affordable air filter, MERV 8 is the best option. If germs, mold spores, or even wood-burning fireplaces are a concern, MERV 13 is the way to go.

Who is the MERV 11 Best For?

The MERV 11 filter is best for pet owners and people who live with certain health conditions, such as mild allergies and mild asthma. It offers more filtration for cleaner air than the MERV 8 but doesn’t filter as much as the MERV 13 (the highest option suggested for residential use).

Upgrading to the MERV 13 may be the better option if you or someone in your home deals with:

  • Severe allergies
  • Severe asthma
  • Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
  • Chronic bronchitis
  • Or another similar health condition that affects the lungs and breathing
