Small Window AC 5k btu ~600w maybe ~8hrs
Large 12k btu dual hose portable ac ~1000w so ~4.x hours
Central heat and air is a no go.. it's not 240 or even powerful enough to start it.
Don't forget you will lose some % in transfer so it's not straight kWh stored to demand.
I think it is worth mentioning if someone is looking at a 5000 BTU for RV / camping that some of those units run at 400 Watts duty cycle and 2x that at startup. If you account for the compressor not running 100% of the time I think you can optimistically squeeze quite a few more hours out of it.

It's not a really good power outage solution for the $$ if your situation allows for a real generator.
I do have two niche scenarios though I'm debating for it though, one is power for a security system (would last at least a week maybe two lol) where I need the base to be inside so it doesn't get stolen, and another for a ups of sorts for an RV ( not even sure it would work ).

My use case is more as a UPS for an RV where the gas generator ( which is a powerboost f150 with 7.2kw built in generator ) isn't connected to the RV and I can still power it for 2-3 hours if I need to run to town or away from the campsite for a bit... ( gas generators are banned in a lot of places I camp due to noise but a running truck doesn't tend to raise any eyebrows ). This is the main reason I am considering it.
There are other scenarios, but a much smaller battery pack would have covered those use cases.

I think over a 2.5 day outage it added like 7 hours or something to the engine meter really wasn't bad at all.
