Summer
months optimal

changes, says

First Line Ltd. says the summer months
provide the ideal time for technicians to
perform annual cabin filter changes, to
maintain clean air in-vehicle and keep the
air conditioning system running smoothly.
Cabin filters, also known as pollen
filters, use an electrostatic paper filter
to collect pollen, dust and debris and
prevent them from entering the vehicle.
By replacing a vehicle’s filter with a fresh
cabin filter for summer, it can also help
those suffering with allergies.
During the summer months, it is
particularly important to ensure that
the cabin filter is functioning properly,
especially as the pollen count is high as
these particles will clog up the filters.
Alex Jarvis-Cleaver, marketing
manager at First Line Ltd., said: “Worn
or clogged cabin filters can impede the
performance of the heating, ventilation,
and air conditioning (HVAC) system, and
this can happen at an increased speed in
the summer months. With summer here,
now’s the time to replace the cabin and air
filters to ensure the air you and your car
are breathing is as clean and pollen-free
as possible.”
The added pressure of filtering out the
harmful particles and contaminants could
lead to decreased heater/air conditioning
performance, unpleasant odours, and
safety issues.
To prevent these potential health
and safety issues, technicians should be
recommending filter replacement and,
irrespective of these known problems,
cabin filters should be automatically
replaced every 12 months.
