Cabin Air Filter Replacement at Evans BMW in Vandalia, Ohio

Many drivers in the US have allergies or sensitivities to smoke or smog. These allergies and sensitivities can make going outside unpleasant, especially when there is high pollen or heavy smog. But the good news for many drivers is that the cabin air filter is a part of their vehicle’s HVAC system that helps remove dust, pollen, smoke, smog, and other pollutants.

Why A Cabin Air Filter Replacement is Important

As you run your car’s heat or AC, the air first runs through your cabin air filter before blowing clean air into your cabin. As the outside air runs through the filter, it removes pollutants like pollen, dust, smog, and more. The air filter acts as a barrier between the outdoor pollutants and the air you breathe while driving. As a result, the filter can get clogged with these pollutants, and the filter can’t work as effectively until it is replaced.

When You Should Get A Cabin Air Filter Replacement

The rule of thumb for air filter replacement is every 15,000-30,000 miles or when the filter is dirty upon inspection if the fan isn’t blowing as much as it usually would, or if there is a whistling, wheezing, or foul odor coming from the air vents. Let it be noted that those who live in areas with high pollutants (like smog in a city or dust on rural roads) will likely have to replace their air filters more frequently.

The Cabin Air Filter Replacement Process

Step 1

A technician will access your air filter. The filter in most vehicles is located behind the glove compartment and can be as easy to access as pressing down on a tab.

Step 2

The technician will remove the old filter and replace it with a fresh, clean filter.

Step 3

The technician then replaces the glove box and throws away the old filter.

Cost of A Cabin Air Filter Replacement

Replacing a cabin air filter is generally pretty simple, so the average price range for a cabin air filter replacement is between $30 and $70. The price will depend on how easy it is to access the filter in your particular car, as well as the material of the filter.!
