is there anyway to warm up the environment if it's under the air-con?
Beside Floor warmer, is there any other portable or USB stuff that can warm up surrounding?
 
I was thinking why you need to warm up the air under Air con instead increasing its temperature.
From a 500mA USB source I don’t think that can worm the air to such a range.
 
Hmm i dont think the (relitively) low current ( and voltage (5v)) of a usb will work a heater very well... try something using a plug-in adapter and a heater element. You could try resistance wire, hair-dryer wire (pretty much resistance wire) or a specialized product you can buy. Dont forget to add a fan of blower or someting so the air is moving, or else things will burn...

if you have an idea, let us know and we can check it out.
 
Have you tried to re-direct the the vent? I have central A/C and heating. A/C is fine, but in the winter the heater isn't so great. I cut out some cardstock deflectors to aim the hot air down more. Usually not cold for more then a few days, so rarely bother...
 
You can use a heat pump which works well until the outside temperature dips below -7C, then you have to use a heating element.

If it's too cold with your air conditioning on then turn it down, adding a heater just seems like a waste of energy.
