As the first answer says 2 Units per hour approximately. However, while choosing an air conditioner look for its cooling capacity not only power consumption. In India the air conditioners are now STAR marked according to its Energy Efficiency Ratio. The EER is defined as cooling capacity in Watts divide by power consumption in Watts. Higher the EER more the star rating and more stars means better machine.

THere should be a nameplate on the unit that lists the current consumption. LRA = locked rotor amps, which is roughly equal to starting current and not really relevant to operating current. FLA = full load amps, which is what you want. Of course, the electricity use depends on how much the thing runs. You can calculate it assuming it runs constantly, but that is going to give you an excessively high number. Note also that a watt is a unit of power, ie, energy per time, and that a unit of "watts per hour" is not meaningful.

Approximately 2 units (2 kwh) per hour. The current drawn is about 11 amperes. More accurate values can be obtained by looking at the specific model.

about 1.8 kwh or 1.8 units per hour
