Why You Need an Air Filtration System
As previously mentioned, the air in your home is probably not nearly as clean as you think. Of the millions of microscopic particles that are commonly found inside a home’s air, a number of them are harmful. Dust, pollen, mites, insect and pet dander are all both allergens and lung irritants. On top of that, viruses, bacteria, and mold are infectious agents that can cause illness. All of these particles are dispersed throughout the air you breathe. If you want to improve your air quality by getting rid of them, you’re going to need an air filtration system.

Types of Air Filtration Systems
So what are air filtration systems, exactly? Well, air filters are devices that make use of a woven mesh to strain particles out of the air. As air flows through this mesh, any contaminants it carries become snared in the fibers. The air is allowed to flow through the filter unimpeded, while any contaminants are left trapped in the filter.
There many different levels of air filter, as determined by the MERV system. MERV stands for Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value. The higher the MERV rating, the smaller the contaminants that the filter can capture. A rating of up to 10 or 12 is common in homes. Filters with a rating beyond that tend to be too tightly woven for home forced air systems to handle, and are typically used in hospitals and other clean environments.

John Hopkins ★★★★★ in the last week
I recently had Santa Fe’s Roadrunner Air install Mitsubishi floor type air conditioners in the sunroom of my home in Los Alamos, NM. The team from Roadrunner was lead by Justin and included Horacio, Ruben and others. They were outstanding. … More They were skilled, very capable, and polite when asked, what were probably, elementary questions.
Our project was skillfully planned and followed throughout the installation by Steve Booth (a PhD, of course, in Los Alamos). He is retired from the Los Alamos National Laboratory and is excellent at analyzing the requirements and matching them to the available Mitsubishi air conditioners. Clearly Roadrunner and their customers are very lucky to have such technical expertise.
I recommend Roadrunner and Steve Booth without reservation.

After site visits and proposals from many local heating and plumbing companies I was fortunate to choose Roadrunner for a switch from a gas tank to a new electric tank hot water heater. They are a stellar company with great staff and fair … More prices. Their bid was the most correct in what needed to be done as compared to what I received from other companies. The scheduler, the owner, and the installers know what they are doing and care about customer service. The two installers arrived timely in the morning, worked expertly and efficiently, solved unanticipated problems, and completed installation by lunchtime. I recommend Roadrunner! -

Highly recommend Roadrunner.
I would first like to thank Horacio and Alcides, as well as Derek.
We had a ductless Mitsubishi mini split (heat pump) installed by Roadrunner.
We got quotes from a few companies. Roadrunner was clear choice … More just from time spent providing quote. and answering our questions.
Amazing company! Estimate visit and paperwork were thorough, they answered questions and checked in with us before install, no stress during installation, very neat, cleaned up after (including wiping down unit).
Highly recommend Roadrunner.
We Install and Service Air Filtration Systems
In order to get the maximum effect from air filtration, it’s a good idea to install a whole–house air filtration system. The filter is installed in your home’s ductwork, often in the air return duct for your heater and air conditioner. This allows it to filter all air being circulated around the house, making it that much easier to improve your indoor air quality. The kind of air filter you use should fit your specific situation. For that reason, and because you shouldn’t be crawling around in your ducts if you don’t know what you’re doing, you should give us a call. We’ll help you select the air filter that best fits your indoor air quality needs, then install it for you. We also service air filtration systems, cleaning or replacing them as needed, to make sure that your home’s indoor air quality remains high. Call us today to schedule an appointment.
