A 1 ton air conditioner delivers 12,000 BTU/hr of cooling (3.52 kW thermal).
Electrical consumption depends on efficiency. A 1 ton 5-star inverter (ISEER 5.10) draws about 690 W; a 3-star unit draws roughly 926 W for the same cooling.
In US whole-home conditions, 1 tons covers roughly 480–666 sq ft depending on climate zone. As a single-room Indian split AC, it covers about 100–133 sq ft.
