Thinking about spring service? This week we want to tell you why you should be swapping out your old filters for fresh new ones! Trust us, it will only benefit you in the end. So, take a few minutes to read through our blog and gain some knowledge on why spring is the best time for you to swap your old filters. And when you’re done, head on over to our service and parts offers page because we have a sweet little coupon that will help you save when you stop in for those new filters! We hope to see you soon!

Pollen Is Not Your Friend – Even if you have the slightest of allergies you know that you and pollen, well, don’t get along! Now think, you have a broken down air filter that is allowing dust, pollen, dirt, and other allergens right through your vents and making their way into your cabin and right into your nose. Gross! We recommend that you change your air filter or really any filter at the end of pollen season or at least give it a look over. In addition, your filters should be changed every 12,000 to 15,000 miles.

Clean Air Is Your Friend – Living in Kingston, NY, you know that spring weather can be all over the place. One minute you’re A/C is on full blast and the next your heat is on. This action actually puts a lot of strain on your filters which means they’re getting a lot of use and could deteriorate at a quicker pace than normal. A broken down air vent means that allergens are just crusin’ right through your filter, your vents, and right into your precious nostrils. So, swap out your old nasty filter for a fresh new one.

Efficiency Is What Makes You Happy – A clogged filter is known for tanking your vehicle’s fuel efficiency. No pun intended! If you let your filter clog up, it’s making it more difficult for air to get through which will result in lower efficiency and one grumpy driver aka you! Leaving a clogged filter in there can also do a bit of damage to your heating and cooling unit which can lead to hefty repairs down the line.
