As someone mentioned filters do get clogged very easily and do interfere with the air conditioners ability to cool. Of course if it does not have enough BTU's for the size you are trying to cool you are just wasting electricity. If it is central air I would speak to the building manager. With the cost of running an air conditioner you should be getting your money's worth. Closing off the area around the air conditioner is an option so that it is only cooling one small area rather than not being able to cool a large area.
That cooling mat sounds like a good idea if the dog will lie on it. |
