It Depends on the model not the HP
HP (horse power) is the speed of the motor
the size of the appliance in question (is it a portable or a fixed unit), its output (how much air it throws out) and HP all combined together determine its BTU.
For example, upgrading a 1HP motor to a 6 HP motor in a tiny desktop AC is not going to change it's BTU, it will just waste energy and probably start a fire!
12000
Assuming you are referring to air conditioning, and not a ton of coal or a ton of plutonium, then 1 ton of air conditioning equivalent = 12 000 BTU.

Air Conditioning: 1 Ton = 12000 BTU
BTU means" british thermal unit " and is a measure of energy like kWh or Joules. BTU is often used in air conditioning. Btuh or btu/hr is a measure of power like kW and is also used in air conditioning and heating applications. Often "btu" will be used in a lazy shorthand for btu/hr. MBH is shorthand for 1000 btu/hr.
In relation to air conditioning a BTU is a British Thermal Unit and most air conditioning manufacturers advise that 1 HP or horsepower equipment is enough to remove 9000BTU/hr. of heat.
1 hp=12K BTU
The size of the unit in btu does not affect the system efficiency. The way a unit is built and matched to an evaporator determines its' maximum efficiency. An oversized unit affects the comfort level in the home because it will not have a long enough run cycle to adequately remove humidity.
Between 25.8 and 36.6 million btu per cord, depending on type and condition. Note, in the english system, a MBTU is 1,000 BTU's, and a MMBTU is 1,000,000 BTU's.
Although the size of the unit may vary, the BTU output of will determine whether or not it will be appropriate for your home. Once you establish how many BTU's are necessary, you can then narrow down your selection by economical benefit.
This is a power unit conversion from British thermal units per hour (Btu/hr.) to its equivalent in horsepower (hp). There are 2544.43 btu/hr. in one horsepower. Conversely, there are 0.000393 hp in one Btu/hr.
The US uses BTU per hour. BTU stands for British Thermal Unit
