Q: Will turning my thermostat down low cool my home faster?
A: Turning your thermostat way down will not cool your home any faster it just causes the unit to run longer and if you set the unit too low you are taking the chance of freezing the unit.
Q: Will a dirty filter or dirty condenser affect the cooling?
A: Yes, they will affect air flow and therefore affect the cooling and can possibly cause your unit to freeze up if the air flow is severely restricted. To keep your system at maximum efficiency change the filters regularly and make sure the condenser is clean.
