Depends on the specific filter. 3M add more pleats which means more filter area.

The MERV 13 in the 3M brand has a lower pressure drop (air flow resistance) than their MERV 5, 7, 11, and 12.

3M MERV 5 - 0.23 pressure drop
3M MERV 7 - 0.24 pressure drop
3M MERV 11 - 0.23 pressure drop
3M MERV 12 - 0.22 pressure drop
3M MERV 13 - 0.19 pressure drop

It really depends on the HVAC system and what it's designed for. Lower end and older ones are typically not built to handle the higher MERV filters. Newer and better ones are built to handle it without issue, though. For example, my HVAC air handler has a sticker on it that specifically says:

Oh No...here comes the AC know-it-alls explaining the good, the bad, and the ugly of MERV's, overworking your air handler, etc... Every home air filter thread on SD gets infected with them...

Would a MERV filter help?

I can't find any cheap fiberglass filter any more. Thanks to 3M's marketing.

It is a fact high MERV# put more stress your ac. Family had 40 years in the filter business.

This is accurate. The higher the MERV, the harder your system has to work to pull the air through it

Makes sense that higher MERV# chokes the AC but also keeps out small particles from recirculating-- that said what's the recommended "right" amount of balance of cleaning the return air vs not stressing the central air?

I've been using MERV 11 for 25+ years on the same AC. Curious what the experts say.

well, one of the more common sizes isn't even available, and when clicking on the "visit the store" link in the top area of the amazon page, it goes to a flat, non-clickable page where "search by size" does not work.

Seems like signs of a poor vendor... will pass on it.

These fit the standard "20" box fan sold at Walmart, Home Depot, etc. I stopped using the expensive "home air purifiers" years ago and just rubber band these to the box fan. Doing this YOU choose the filtration ability you want AND even better, this way costs ALOT less than air purifier systems filters!

I'll probably regret it cause the store will increase prices seeing SD influx, but the best deals for filters are on Zoro.

It's true tho. These "know-it-alls" are probably professionals in the industry (like me) and are just trying to teach others… what's wrong with that?
