Cabin Air Filter Replacement near Erie, PA

Have you been experiencing stale or unpleasant air while you drive? If so, it may be time to get a cabin air filter replacement for your car. Here at Classic Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, we can tell you what to look out for and what we can do to help.

Purpose

It’s important to know why the cabin air filter is integral to your drives around Erie and beyond. Of course, for passengers with allergies or respiratory problems, any buildup of pollutants in the air can be dangerous. The filter keeps the air clean by trapping any dust or pollen so that you can have a fresh cabin. Apart from the medical risk these alleviate, they also help to better regulate the cooling of your systems. By maintaining airflow, your engine and other mechanisms can be properly cooled. If the filter were to ever stop working, you’d experience all of these issues. 

Warning Signs

The first step in the cabin air filter replacement process is recognizing when you need one. As you drive to Presque Isle in the morning, you may notice the sun beams highlighting an abundance of pollutants in the cabin’s air. This is a clear indication that the filter is not working as intended. Additionally, might detect an unpleasant smell coming from the vents, which can mean the filter is clogged. The air can also feel stale thanks to the reduced or nonexistent airflow. If you feel congested or can’t help but cough on your way to the Erie Zoo, then it may be time for a replacement. If you notice any of these issues, be sure to come into our Service Department. 

Different Types 

One of the biggest issues you’ll face is making the choice for what kind of cabin air filter you’ll want to get. The most common is the standard particulate filter, which is ideal for keeping your cabin pollutant-free. If you’re constantly traveling in a malodorous area like farmland or landfills, then you should consider a carbon-activated iteration, that helps keep unpleasant smells out. There are also anti-microbial filters that are designed specifically to deal with bacteria, viruses, or fungi. You’ll be able to find the first option at our Parts Department, where we have Mopar® parts and our team can replace it for you. Alternatively, you can always order the part you want and perform this task at home.
