The Importance of Changing Your Cabin Air Filter

A cabin air filter has a few important jobs. One of the most significant is filtering out airborne particles such as dust and pollen. If you don't replace the filter after a while, it can get clogged, reducing the airflow for your heating and air conditioning. This can seriously affect how well your car's temperature control works. Also, it puts a lot of stress on the motor that moves air through your vehicle's cabin. This stress could lead to the motor burning out. If you don't change the cabin air filter over time, it can become a breeding ground for mold and bacteria. Also, causing an unpleasant odor to circulate through your car's cabin.
