Yes, you can run two 5000 BTU window air conditioning units on a 110-volt breaker, but it depends on the total amperage draw of both units and the breaker’s capacity. Typically, a 5000 BTU unit draws around 5 to 7 amps, so two units could draw 10 to 14 amps total. Most standard 110-volt breakers are rated for 15 or 20 amps, so ensure you do not exceed the breaker's limit and check the circuit for any other devices that may be drawing power. It's always best to consult an electrician for safety and proper load calculations.
