What Are Cabin Air Filters?
An air filter catches particles before entering your cabin through the air vents. Whether it's pollen, smoke, or dust, your air filter is crucial for improving the air quality of your cabin. With more smoke particles in the air, it's essential to filter out as many as possible from your breathing air for your health and safety.
Signs You Need a New Air Filter
When your air filter is no longer functioning properly, you will start to notice various changes. Some of the red flags of an ineffective filter include:
- Health problems from pollutants
- A/C will run poorly
- Trouble clearing window fog
- Air from vents smells bad
When to Replace an Air Filter?
The rule of thumb is to change your air filter between 15,000 and 30,000 miles. However, excessive particle build-up, which is more likely with wildfires, can shorten the lifespan of your air filter. Our service experts would be happy to check the condition of your air filter and let you know when it should be changed. If you're particularly sensitive, you may want to replace your filter every 5,000 miles.
