The air filter in your Hyundai vehicle’s cabin is what ventilates the air inside your vehicle. This keeps dust, pollen, pollutants, and more from getting into your vehicle and affecting you. Read on to learn more about the comprehensive cabin air filter replacement service we offer at Calgary Hyundai.
How Often Should You Replace Your Cabin Air Filter?
Every vehicle’s manual has a suggestion for when it’s best to replace the cabin air filter, but generally, it’s advised to get it replaced once a year or every 20,000 kilometres, whichever one happens first. This helps to keep the quality of the air clean and safe as you drive around. However, certain factors, such as the quality of the filter and the type of roads you drive on can make the filter clog faster. If you drive on dirt roads or go offroading a lot, it’s worth getting your cabin air filter checked by a professional technician a little more often than is typically advised.
What Happens If You Don’t Change Your Cabin Air Filter Enough?
If you suffer from allergies or have breathing difficulties, having a cabin air filter that’s clogged can be a very dangerous thing to have in your Hyundai vehicle. This is why it’s typically advised to get the air filter replaced before the spring season when allergy season is in full swing, and for those who have allergies, to get it checked in the summer as well in case it needs to be replaced.
A clogged cabin air filter can cause other issues, including making your HVAC system work harder, which can lead to more wear and tear on it. This means it will take longer to regulate the cabin air temperature, and might need to be replaced sooner rather than later. Your windows can also take longer to clear when they’re fogged due to the lack of good airflow. If your cabin air filters are dirty they can also cause a musty smell to come out of your vents, which is a clear sign that it’s time to get a replacement filter put in by a trained technician.
