MERV 13 Filter?
Gradient’s All-Weather 120V window heat pump is now compatible with a MERV 13 filter, delivering cleaner, healthier indoor air for your space.
This powerful air filtration system captures fine particles such as pollen, dust, smoke, and even certain bacteria and viruses, making it ideal for environments where air quality matters most – like schools, healthcare facilities, and residential homes. Allergy and asthma sufferers will notice reduced irritants, while everyone enjoys fresher, more comfortable air.
The MERV13 filter can also support regulatory compliance, helping buildings meet industry standards like LEED certification and ASHRAE guidelines, and streamlining project approvals.?
With Gradient you can start with a MERV2 filter and upgrade to MERV13 as your air quality needs or budgets evolve—no need to replace the entire system.?
This cost-efficient, sustainable design keeps HVAC components cleaner, reducing maintenance and prolonging system life. Invest in comfort, air quality, and long-term environmental responsibility—all in one.
