I [I]think[I] its called an air handler, at least... its that huge metal unit that is responsible for the circulation of air that goes through your ceiling vents. It also has the gas burner for heat next to it. Why they built this into the laundry room instead of the garage, I have no idea. Maybe a safety thing? Anyways, where it is located would be an ideal space for a pantry. But I have a feeling it would cost a lot to move it.

Yes - it would cost a lot to move!

In our home in Norcal it is in the attic - if it ever has major issues trying to fix it with the only access being the 2' x 2 1/2' ceiling opening will be very costly too.
