Cabin Air Filter Service: Keeping the Air in Your Car Fresh and Clean

Modern cars have all sorts of creature comforts that make for pleasant experiences. Heated seats, automatic climate control, and other features all aim to create an enjoyable environment. These amenities get a lot of the fanfare and praise when it comes to keeping cars comfortable, but there's an unsung hero that often gets overlooked: the humble cabin air filter.

Cabin air filters function exactly how the name suggests, filtering air that comes into the vehicle. The filter removes particles like dust, pollen, and dirt to make sure that occupants can breathe clean air. It's integrated right into the climate control system as well, so you can count on getting clean air when you turn on the heater or AC.

As with the engine air filter, however, these cabin air filters do get dirty over time. That means you'll need to replace the cabin air filter from time to time throughout the lifespan of your vehicle. Recommended intervals for replacing cabin air filters can vary, but most are ready to go for several thousand miles.

You may be able to tell if it's time to install a new filter if you notice unpleasant odors when you turn on your climate control system. Whether you notice an odor or know that it's been a while since the last service, it's good to schedule cabin air filter replacements about once a year.

For many models, replacing the cabin air filter is a straightforward process that only takes a couple of minutes. But it can also be a bit more demanding if the filter is located in a spot that's difficult to reach. Either way, the service center at Larry H. Miller Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Boise can lend a hand. Give us a call at your convenience and we'll schedule an appointment to install a fresh filter!
