Moving an air conditioner

Jake, My air conditioner is located on the back/middle section of my house. I plan to expand my bedroom, kitchen and small dining area, the air conditioner has to be move. Where can the air conditioner be best placed and will it be expensive to move it?

It's always best to try and keep the AC  units as close to the air handler (furnace in most cases) as possible.  This reduces the distance that the freon moves between the two units.  You should also consider the appearance of the units from the street or other locations.  Another factor to consider is the noise - try to keep it away from patios, decks or bedrooms.  If you put it too far away from the furnace it might require a special pump.  A well qualified heating and cooling company can provide most of these answers for you.  We often have to move these units when we construct a room addition.  It's not a big deal.  The cost can typically be between $750.00 and $1500.00.
