 Air con is a expensive game. I've used smaller ones but as josh says they are working full whack 24/7. The reality is with ac bigger works best imo but bigger costs a fortune to run.
Wouldn't you get lower run costs if you are well insulated and just keepoing things ticking over?

I'm not sure how air con work? I suspect once they are on they use quite a bit even if only ticking over?
My 10,000 btu uses about 5-600 watts once the compressor kicks on about half the time it's running is with the compressor off, which draws about 100 watts

Was curious the other day and hooked it to my meter

Yes mate, good insulation and enough airflow is the way forward.
