I"ve moved both a couple of times during remodeling, got the gas meter moved outsde for free by the gas company as part of the last work. Because our equipment was old and inefficient we replaced it as part of the renovation/moving process. None of the companies who quoted the work batted an eye at the relocation part of the process. To move everything about 25 ft, gas fitting and plumbing ran probably $2K, duct work was within what might be expected for a new furnace/AC unit, all of the new equipment was sealed combustion so we didn't need to worry about reconnecting to the chimney (just as well, as the furnace flue was McGyvered into the wood fireplace flue, the joists were charred where they ran the flue pipes). Only regret is that we should have gone with a heat pump rather than a gas furnace. Upgrading to an on-demand water heater saved a lot of space. I thought it was going to be a big deal, it wasn't, and hugely improved the usefulness of the space.

The OP's question was simple and straightforward. Is it possible for posters get advice in this forum without your gratuitous self promotion?
