Close Cabin Air Filter Replacement in Kankakee, IL
Whether your fleet consists of hotel shuttles or school buses that transport bright-eyed students, your vehicles need regular cabin air filter replacements to ensure passengers have access to clean air during their rides in Kankakee. Luckily for you, Midwest Transit Equipment’s Service Department specializes in bus repair and maintenance, and replacing the cabin filter is an easy job for our technicians.
The Purpose of Cabin Air Filters
Passenger experience is especially important in vehicles such as buses that are used for commercial or public transportation purposes. This makes the role of cabin air filters particularly crucial. When the HVAC system is running, this component ensures that contaminants in the outside air do not enter a car’s interior by trapping miniscule particles in its netting. In the spring, when trees and flowers at Perry Farm Park are releasing pollen, the cabin air filter can remove this allergy trigger so that children riding to school don’t spend the entire drive sneezing and rubbing their itchy eyes. When your shuttle is outfitted with a properly functioning cabin filter, passengers will have a pleasant experience on board even if the air quality outside is less than ideal.
Warning Signs
You should schedule an appointment to get your fleet’s cabin air filters replaced if any of your vehicles display the following warning signs. For starters, passengers in your airport shuttles may complain about inadequate air conditioning when this part is due for a swap. That’s because debris may be clogging the filter, preventing air from moving freely and thus reducing the strength of its flow. If an unpleasant odor is permeating the interior of your wheelchair bus, the culprit may once again be a cabin air filter that passed its prime long ago. Problems with cabin air quality that only resolve when the windows are opened for ventilation can be another indicator of a faulty cabin filter.
Filter Types and Service Interval
Replacing the cabin air filter is recommended every 15,000 to 30,000 miles depending on the driving conditions a given vehicle regularly experiences. For instance, if your charter bus can often be found on Interstate 57, taking passengers to out-of-town locations, it may need this service more often due to the high concentration of exhaust fumes on the highway. You can also choose from a variety of types depending on your needs. Particulate filters are the most common, and they primarily remove dust from the air that enters the cabin. Activated carbon filters are great for odor removal, while electrostatic filters use static for more effective purification. Feel free to ask our technicians any questions you may have.
Main Types of Cabin Air Filters
