I want to move the air conditioner from one side of my house to the other. (closer to the furnece) After I have some one come and empty the (freeon(spelling?)) or what ever is in the airconditioner. is it as easy as pouring a new concrete base and running the new 220W wire.
What would be the best way for me to do it myself is what I’m asking.

Need to call a local HVAC companies for estimates.
This is NOT a DIY project. That “someone” Should be a certified HVAC TECH and that company should be able to give you a bid on the job.
Not a DIY project.
Refrigerant must be reclaimed
New linesets
Electrical moved
New condenser pad
Re-route or new 24v control wires
Evacuate system
Charge correctly
Good luck

If you are talking about the condensing unit with the compressor, then you will need the slab moved, the electrical relocated, and the Freon lines relocated. Quite an expense if you hire the work out.
I would call an A/C guy to find out what is required.
Definitely not a “one-man” job. In order to “empty” the freon lines, it will need reclaiming (up to two hours) and then electrical moved, along with freon lines. Depending on how your freon lines are installed, this can be messy. I would suggest getting an estimate on moving this instead of doing it yourself. There are so many factors that can go wrong.
You need someone who knows what he is doing.
1. pull freon into condenser unit.
2. cut line sets, disconnect electrical.
3. relocate condenser unit.
4. run new line set and electrical.
5. reconnect line set and electrical.
6. pull vacuum on AC unit. release freon from condenser unit.
7. test unit and add freon as needed.
all this requires the proper knowledge.
This could be a disaster if done wrong.. Remember, you have the wiring that comes from the AC to the internal monitoring system in the house. Depending on how the installers wired your house, the wiring is in the wall. This job might require a professional unless you are familiar with drywalling and electrical work.
