It depends on the efficiency of the air conditioner. I have two 3-ton units for my home. One recently died and I replaced it with a more efficient unit. The new unit is 16 SEER, while the old was 12 SEER. In general, the higher the SEER rating, the more efficient, but you get diminishing returns as you go higher. For example going from 12 to 13 saves a lot more energy than going from 15 to 16. I have a whole house watt meter connected and measured both units after the upgrade to see how much more efficient my new one was. Below are the results. As you can see there is no easy answer to how much your unit consumes. 16 SEER - 2300 watts 12 SEER - 3400 watts
A 5000 BTU air conditioner works on 1465 watts. If the BTU, 5000, is multiplied by .293071, the exact amounts are given. However, this does not display the amount of watts utilized by the air conditioner. The voltage and amperes would need to be known in order to figure the watts during usage.
It's not ideal conditions (which are considered to be outside, on grass/in a forest or wooded area and or near water or a tree), but many people do practise indoors in an air conditioned room. Due to the constraints of daily life many don't really have the choice and, if living somewhere very hot such as South China, a room with air con is still preferable conditions to the extreme heat, (provided that it does not dry out the air too much!)
Air Conditioning: 1 Ton = 12000 BTU
Convert to compatible units: convert horse-power to watts, and minutes to seconds. Then use the formula: work = power x time.

I have been told that if you are going to replace a 10 seer with a 13 seer, you have to change the coil on the inside unit to work with a 13 seer heap pump. In order to gain the extra energy efficiency yes you would need to replace the air handler as well.
