Depends on the size of the Air Conditioner.
Check with the AHAM site for models and specifications.

You'd have to know the wattage of the air conditioner first. Once you get that number you can apply the formula Amps = Wattage divided by Voltage. For instance, if the Wattage is 500, and that number is divided by a usual house voltage of 110Volts, the Amps used would be roughly 4.5 Amps.
