Your car's air and heating system makes use of a filter to clean and purify the air coming into your automobile. This filter catches various debris from the air such as dust, pollution, pollen, smoke, and other irritants before the air enters your vehicle. A bad cabin air filter can make driving in Northfield or Atlantic City an unpleasant experience.
Over time your car's cabin air filter becomes worn down and clogged with the various debris it removes from the air. As cabin filters are made of various soft materials such as paper there is no way to clean a cabin air filter and it has to be replaced with a new filter. This is a common part of automobile maintenance much like changing your oil or refilling your windshield wiper fluid.
When your car's cabin air filter goes bad it can cause several issues with your car's interior environment. One of the most common issues is that due to the air filter being unable to filter the air properly you'll notice bad odors. The airflow itself can also be affected reducing your ability to heat or cool your car and defrost the windows. These issues can be a distraction while driving and if you have allergies cause problems with your breathing and overall health. All of these distractions make your daily drive in Doylestown less safe.
Auto manufacturers advise you should have your cabin air filter replaced every 12,000 to 30,000 miles however, there are various factors that can affect this. If you live in an area with a lot of airborne pollutants, dust, or you drive on dirt roads then you may need to replace your cabin filter more often. Another factor is your health because if you have breathing issues or allergies you may be more sensitive to irritants necessitating you change your cabin filter more often.
