Technology Connections has a great video that goes in more detail. Basically an AC is a reverse heater

I disagree completely. Heaters rely on the inefficiency of power transmitting materials, the "heating element", to turn electricity into heat. The opposite of that would not be an AC, it would be a generator. If you want an actually good simplified explanation of an AC just check out my other comment HERE

the opposite of an AC would be a phase change driven generation plant i suppose. But the opposite of an AC in this semantic case would be a heatpump.
