Heat is a form of energy right? So if we take away the energy from the Air we have concentrated some heat elswhere which we should be able to harvest? So i ask myself why are Air conditioners not a source of energy?

Yes, but it’s not really practical.
There is a limit to the heat gradient an AC can overcome. For example my AC can’t go below 16°C . Similarly they won’t work when you’re trying to move the air to somewhere that is already very hot (so you won’t be able to boil water by moving heat with a normal AC).
Also you’re usually running an AC when it’s already hot. So there really is no need to bother with recovering the heat moved by the AC. If you need warm air there is a bunch of it outside already! And probably also sun, so just use a solar panel.
