Appliance Moving Service

Refrigerator about to be moved
Moving to another home can be an ordeal to most people. The hassle of packing and unpacking when you move out of your old house as well as moving into a new one is stressful and tiring.
​
But that is just talking about packing and unpacking small things and personal belongings. But what about your appliances? How do you move it? You cannot just carry it with your hands like a bag or a box and put it into a moving van.

Tips on Appliance Moving

Appliance moving can drain out whatever energy you might have left from packing your things in preparation for moving out. Moving appliances can be made easier and faster if you follow these tips.

Preparing Your Appliances

​Appliance moving could be less stressful if you prepared them beforehand. Meaning, pack and prepare the appliance you need to move earlier. There are cases where moving vans will not wait for you while you are packing. Having your appliance packed and ready when the moving van arrives makes the task easier and faster.

Proper Equipment for MovinG

Along with preparing your appliance for moving, you need to have the proper equipment for moving your appliances. These equipment are:
  • Appliance/ furniture blankets
  • Straps
  • Sliders
  • Appliance dolly

​Make Smart Decisions

If you are putting your house up for sale, make sure you remove the appliances that should not go with the house. If you don’t prospective buyers might think that it goes with the house and might be disappointed when they find out it does not. You might lose a good deal if this happens.

Before putting your house up for sale, decide on which appliance goes and does not go with the house and move it to your new home before you entertain prospective buyers.

Pay Attention to Details

Before moving your appliance. Make sure that it is unplugged. Bind all wires and tie them with plastic wires which you can twist or rubber bands. This is to secure the cords of the appliance and make sure that you will not be dragging with you when you move it. Wrapping the plug ends of the cords will protect it and securing the cord with electrical tape is also advisable.

For stoves and others similar to it, make sure you disconnect the gas. This will prevent gas leaks. Take extra care when having your gas disconnected.
​
Make sure you are ready for the mess that defrosting creates. Refrigerators need to be defrosted before you can clean and secure it to have it ready for moving. These details may be minor ones, but they take time to accomplish. So as much as possible, prepare your appliances for moving as early as possible.

​Measure

Measuring and taking note of dimensions will see to it that your appliances will fit on the doorways of your new home. If you don’t, appliance moving may damage your walls, doorways, and floors if the appliance does not fit.

Moving Major Appliances

Determine which appliances you should move. Major appliances must be moved, especially if they are brand new. Old and outdated appliances must be left behind. Also those with technical and mechanical problems.
​
Appliance moving may sound simple to most of us. But once you engage yourself with the task, you will see that it is a little bit complicated. Knowing how to do it properly can help you accomplish your goal faster, and with less hassle.
