It is also highly recommended if there are pets in the home, which can greatly reduce the air quality in your home.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The chart below shows what you can remove from your air with MERV 8, 11, and 13 filters.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20598 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Merv-InfographicV2.jpg\" alt=\"FiltersFast MERV ratings chart\" width=\"1000\" height=\"619\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Merv-InfographicV2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Merv-InfographicV2-300x186.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Merv-InfographicV2-768x475.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For your home, however, the better option is our FiltersFast.com <a href=\"https:\/\/www.filtersfast.com\/Filters-Fast-Merv-11-6pack-Air-Filters.asp\">MERV 11 air filters<\/a>.
