Here’s some information about cabin filters:
What is a Cabin Filter?
A cabin filter, also known as a pollen filter or air filter, is a crucial component of your vehicle’s heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system.
What Does a Cabin Filter Do?
The cabin filter:
1. Removes Pollen and Dust: Captures pollen, dust, and other airborne particles to improve indoor air quality.
2. Reduces Allergens: Helps reduce allergens and irritants, creating a healthier environment for drivers and passengers.
3. Prevents Unpleasant Odours: Traps unpleasant odours and gases, keeping the cabin air fresh and clean.
Why is it Important to Replace the Cabin Filter?
1. Improved Air Quality: Replacing the cabin filter ensures cleaner air and a healthier environment.
2. Increased Comfort: A new cabin filter can reduce allergy symptoms and discomfort.
3. Better HVAC Performance: A clean cabin filter improves HVAC system performance, reducing the risk of costly repairs.
When to Replace the Cabin Filter?
Typically, the cabin filter should be replaced:
1. Every 12,000 to 18,000 Miles: Depending on the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations.
2. Every 6 to 12 Months: In areas with high pollen counts or poor air quality.
3. When Visible Signs of Wear Appear: If the filter is dirty, clogged, or exhibits signs of wear.
