False.
A hot air balloon rises because heating the air inside makes it less dense, so it floats upward (convection/buoyancy). Home air conditioning produces cooler, denser air that tends to sink while warmer air rises, so the cooled air does not “rise up into the air.” Convection currents are involved in both cases, but in opposite directions.
