What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

What's in the article?

Air conditioners are definitely a great investment for a few different reasons, all of which point back to ensuring the comfort of you and your loved ones. 

However, one major factor that always seems to get in the way is the overall cost. This doesn’t just include the price needed to actually buy the unit because you’ll also have to pay for the additional electrical demand that it comes with, along with regular maintenance and more.

Getting a new air conditioner for your home might seem too expensive, but there are definitely cheaper options out there that won’t demand as much. Here are five recommendations! 

Factors to Consider 

Cooling Capacity

Typically measured in British Thermal Units, cooling capacity refers to how quickly and efficiently an air conditioner can cool down your room, with larger rooms naturally requiring a higher cooling capacity.

A good rule of thumb is that every square foot of space will need around 20 BTU to cool down. Be careful that you don’t buy an air conditioner with too high of a cooling capacity. A unit with a higher cooling capacity than what is actually needed will cool down the room too quickly and make you uncomfortable. It may also cause unnecessary stress to your unit.

Type of Air Conditioner

Portable air conditioners. Window air conditioners. Split air conditioners. These are the most common types of air conditioners available in the market. Each type definitely comes with its own advantages and benefits, so just make sure that you choose one that is appropriate for the layout of your room. 

A portable air conditioner is the most flexible in terms of zoning and can be wheeled almost anywhere. A window air conditioner needs a large enough window frame to be mounted on, and a split air conditioner may require some professional installation. It’s worth noting that split air conditioners tend to be more expensive compared to the other types available.

Additional Features

Air conditioners these days come with a few additional features to make them stand out from the rest. It’s important to be mindful of what you want in an air conditioner as this will help you find the best model for your circumstances. Some models will actually come with an Energy Star certification that promises maximum energy savings without sacrificing your comfort.
