Here at Hall Honda Virginia Beach, one of the most common types of Honda service that our mechanics perform is cabin air filter replacement and repair. The cabin air filter is an often overlooked Honda part that is essential for ensuring comfort for the driver and passengers inside the vehicle.
Changing your cabin air filter on a regular basis can also make a huge difference in your vehicle’s performance. Here’s why cabin air filter replacement is necessary.
Decrease Pollution
One of the most common reasons to change out this Honda part is to reduce pollution. Because the filter is all that stands between the exterior air of the road and the interior of your car, it blocks much of the smog and dirty exhaust let out by other cars. Regularly changing your air filter helps ensures that these harmful pollutants do not enter your cabin.
Decrease Debris
Many drivers find their cabin air filters clogged with items like leaves, twigs, acorns, and other debris. This is especially true if they park in areas with lots of trees or bushes. Debris such as this can have a huge negative effect on the efficacy of your car’s air system.
Decrease Allergens
Besides debris and pollutants, air filters also help to drastically reduce the amount of allergens inside your vehicle. Without a functional air filter, pollen can get into your vehicle and cause allergies for passengers.
Engine Strain
Because your air conditioner or heater needs to work hard to heat or cool your car’s cabin, the engine has to work hard to power these system. Having a clogged air filter can negatively impact your fuel efficiency because the car has to put out more energy than it should.
