no. the big energy draw in air conditioning is the compressing of the gas - compress gas to a liquid, remove the heat of compression, then let the freon evaporate inside the house to make things cooler. everything else in comparison is quite inexpensive.
@stound Freon is no longer used, too dangerous to handle, and damages the ozone. The refrigerant gas is not released inside the house, it's circulated back into the compressor. It's an enclosed system. Air is run over the coils, where it's cooled, and circulated back into the home.
