A/C

Of your two choices, I would say with the a/c. You need to watch and groom your mount as it dries. Drying too quickly is not good. I'll even put plastic over mounts so they won't dry too fast.


Add a de-humidifier

If you are in a basement or area that is damp try adding a de-humidifier. If not the AC should keep the right amount of humidity in the room.
