Cabin Air Filter Replacement

The Function of the Cabin Air Filter

The air that flows inside the interior of your vehicle goes through the cabin air filter. As this air passes through the filter, several harmful pollutants, dust, and other types of debris are filtered. Along with cleaning the air inside the interior of the vehicle, a properly functioning air filter also helps improve the performance of the HVAC system of the vehicle. There are different qualities of the cabin air filter. At Bommarito Ford of Hazelwood, we carry high-quality genuine OEM Ford cabin air filters that are built to last longer while providing better protection. The cabin air filter is located behind the glove box.

When to Replace the Cabin Air Filter?

Over time the cabin air filter can get clogged, requiring it to be replaced with a new filter. A quick inspection by our certified technicians can determine if the cabin air filter requires replacement. Reduced performance of the HVAC system is a common indicator of a clogged cabin air filter. Other common indicators include a musty smell from the HVAC or unusual noises from the blower motor. Drivers or passengers that suffer from asthma or have an increased sensitivity to pollutants might not be able to withstand the compromised air quality inside the interior of the vehicle. We recommended OEM cabin air filters as they provide the best quality and there is no need to assess compatibility as they are built to match the requirement of your specific Ford model.
