What Does a Cabin Air Filter Do?

If you want to breathe easy during your Midvale travels, maintaining your cabin air filter is essential. What does a cabin air filter do? This small filter is responsible for pulling out any dirt, pollen, and dust that floats through your car’s interior. The filter grabs these particles as they flow through the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. But over time, the cabin air filter becomes clogged with debris and needs to be replaced.

When Do I Need a New Cabin Air Filter?

Determining how often to change cabin air filters depends on your driving habits. On average, most Herriman and South Jordan driverschange the air filter every 15,000 miles under normal conditions. But if you drive through construction sites or off-road trails, you’re likely to clog the cabin air filter faster than someone who just runs errands. Here are some of the telltale signs that you should change your air filter:

  • You feel that the airflow is reduced when you turn on the climate control system.
  • You notice odors lingering for longer periods of time in the cabin.
  • You see more and more dust settling onto surfaces, like the dashboard.

How Much Does a New Cabin Air Filter Cost?

The typical cabin air filter cost will run around $30 to $70 on average. Cabin air filter cost will vary depending on the size and type of your car, as well as whether you visit a service center or do the job yourself.
