Cabin Filter Replacement For The Fall

After learning how the car’s cabin filter keeps the air inside the vehicle clean and free from pollutants, it may be worth noting how often you need to replace the cabin filter and when is the best time to do it.

Why do you need to replace the cabin filter?

Throughout the year, the cabin filters clean the air that passes through your vehicle’s air conditioning system, heating, and ventilation. Over time, the debris, dirt particles, and pollens accumulate in the filters, and replacing them becomes necessary to ensure the quality of the air you breathe in the car.

When do you need to replace them, and is fall a good time to do it?

Fall is absolutely a great time to replace the cabin filters. Dirt, pollutants, and pollens tend to accumulate in the filter faster during the spring and summer. And you would want to remove all the debris clogging your cabin filter come fall before transitioning to the cold weather of winter when you’ll have to keep your windows up and rely on the filters to keep the air in the car nice and clean as you drive. 

Moreover, if debris or pollens from last summer or spring are clogging your cabin filters, you will not get the airflow you need to defrost your windows during the colder weather. Most people never realize it. But if the morning fog doesn’t seem to leave your car windows soon enough, you probably need to replace the cabin filters.

Changing cabin filters during the fall is ideal, but depending on how much you drive and in what areas, you can schedule cabin filter replacements twice a year, preferably every fall and spring.
