Your vehicle’s cabin filter is an essential component of the air conditioning and heating system. This filter helps to safeguard the driver and passengers from breathing impurities in the air. This is particularly significant for passengers who suffer from allergies and other respiratory problems. If you live or work in Burley, cabin filter service is about 40 minutes away when you bring your vehicle to the Con Paulos Service Department in Jerome.

What is a cabin filter?
The cabin air filter stops pollutants such as dust and pollen from entering the car’s interior. If your vehicle has a carbon-activated filter, it will also block odors and exhaust gasses. The cabin air filter purifies the air that flows through the vehicle’s climate control system. If you experience reduced airflow or smell something bad from the system, it may be a good idea to bring your car in for cabin filter service near Burley.

How does the cabin filter work?
The cabin filter is manufactured from a specially designed type of cotton or paper fabric. It’s typically located behind the glovebox. The pleats in the filter’s material trap the pollutants before they reach the cabin, ensuring that passengers breathe clean air.

How does the cabin filter safeguard my health?
Clean air is essential for drivers and passengers with asthma, allergies and other respiratory problems. The cabin filter removes pollutants from the cabin that can adversely affect the health of the car’s occupants. Changing the cabin air filter according to the manufacturer’s recommendations allows it to operate at peak efficiency.

What other problems can be caused by a dirty cabin filter?
A dirty cabin air filter can cause health problems, and it can also lower the efficiency of the climate control system. Additionally, because the air conditioner or heather must now work harder, it can cause the blower motor to burn out. When the filter becomes clogged, the loss of airflow can make passengers feel uncomfortable. The weakened airflow can allow condensation to form on the windshield, hindering the driver’s visibility and make it harder to clear fog from the windshield.

How often should I change the cabin filter?
Most automotive manufacturers advise drivers to replace the cabin air filter every 12,000-30,000 miles.

You’ll find the recommendation for your vehicle in the owner’s manual. If you drive in urban locations, in traffic, in desert locales, or in areas with poor air quality, you’ll need to replace the cabin air filter more frequently.

What are the signs that my car’s cabin filter needs to be replaced?
When your vehicle’s cabin air filter isn’t operating efficiently, you’ll experience:

• Musty or other bad smells in the car’s cabin
• Weak airflow from the climate control system
• Noise when you run the air conditioner or heater
• A whistling sound coming from the air intake ducts

If you notice any of these symptoms, take your vehicle to the Con Paulos Chevrolet Service Center for a cabin filter replacement. It’s fast, and it can make a big difference in your vehicle’s ride.
