Moving an A/C unit from kitchen to attic?

What is involved and how expensive would it be to move an A/C and furnace unit from the ktichen to the attic? We have a small two floor townhome. The unit is in the kitchen and takes up a lot of room in place that's already tight on space.

Answers:
First, they have to physically fit there and you need a hole big enough to get them up there. You'll also need to power them, and depending upon the voltage, may need an electrician to add the circuits. If the furnace is gas, you'll need to run the gas line and have a vent cut through the roof/wall for the chimney (or have it run into the house chimney) For the AC, I'm assuming it's not a window unit, so you'll need the lines from the unit outside re-run up to the attic. You'll also need a drain for the water it produces, though the attic unit's I've seen have a tray underneath and it just evaporates. That's the simple version, but covers the big things.

Callmecam2 nailed it on the head except 1 thing you need to rerun all of the ductwork too! This is going to be an expensive move!! And that pan does not evaporate condensate water it in a catch pan for if your drain ever plugs up, which the catch pan will usually overflow eventually too.

Instead of that expense, consider using a ductless mini split system like the ones Mitsubishi sels at Mrslim.com.

They are fabulous, SUPER energy efficient, and EASY to run and install. There would be no furnace to worry about aor to have to climb in the attic to fix or change filters or clean coils.
