Benefits of Changing Your Cabin Air Filter in Gainesville, FL

Did you know that it's important to change your cabin air filter on a regular basis? Many customers decline to have it changed by our technicians when they offer, whether they think it's too expensive or they're unaware of its importance. However, it's ideal to change this filter every 12,000 to 15,000 miles (or as indicated by your owner's manual). You may need to change it more often if you live in a city or densely populated area. Regularly replacing the cabin air filter can make a big difference in your vehicle's engine performance, amongst other great benefits, so keep reading to learn more.

Pollution Reduction

The reduction of pollution that you breathe in is a big benefit, and it's a common reason cited for regularly changing the cabin air filter. Basically, it's the only thing standing between the outside air and the inside of your car, meaning it blocks much of the smog, smoke and ash from any pollution and dirty exhausts from other vehicles. By changing your filter regularly, you ensure that pollution stays outside your vehicle, which means you breathe healthier air inside.

Better HVAC Air Flow

The vehicle's HVAC system is powered by its engine, so when the cabin air filter is dirty and clogged, the engine has to work harder to power your heating and cooling systems. But when the filter is clean and unclogged, the engine doesn't have to work nearly as hard, which equates to better fuel efficiency. This also means your air conditioning and heating systems will work better, too — so your cabin will warm up faster in the colder months, and it will cool down faster in the hot months.

Fewer Allergens

If you have an allergy to anything environmental, you know how irritating it can be when those pesky allergens get to you. Cabin air filters help to reduce the amount of allergens that get inside your vehicle cabin. However, during heavy pollen seasons, allergens and pollen can build up in your filter so you may need to change it sooner.

Fewer Odors

When you don't change your filter for some time, mold can build up on it, which can cause bad odors. Mold is also extremely bad for your health and can make you sick, as it's very unhealthy to breathe in. But by replacing the cabin air filter regularly, you can avoid breathing in that unhealthy mold.

If you start to smell bad odors in your vehicle's cabin, or if you notice that your HVAC fan is running louder, schedule a service appointment with us and we'll change your cabin air filter for you.
