Air conditioners come with a BTU rating. This rating essentially tells you how powerful the unit is. They are used to say to you the power of both heaters and air conditioners. Since BTUs measure the amount of energy required to heat a pound of water, this rating system makes perfect sense for heaters.
Do air conditioners use BTU?
While air conditioners don't heat your home, they do specialize in removing unwanted heat (which you can also think of as energy) from it. HVAC professionals use BTUs to measure both heat loss and heat gain, which is why we apply that metric to your air conditioner's performance.

The Rules for Keeping Cool
Window air conditioners typically have a cooling capacity ranging from 5,000 to 12,500 British thermal units (Btu/hr.). As a rule of thumb, an air conditioner needs 20 Btu for each square foot of living space.
