Appliances Moving
Are you getting ready for you next moving adventure? If so, then there’s always going to be a lot to think about. For instance, you need to make sure that you are packing up your items the right way and in particular, your appliances. Every appliance is different and that means that you need to move them in different ways. Luckily, we’re here to help. Here’s how to handle the main appliances that you have around your home.
Fridge/Freezers
These appliances should be moved using straps or a commercial dolly due to the weight. Both a fridge and freezer should always stay straight and should not be tilted. If your fridge has an icemaker, you need to ensure that this is disconnected from the water supply before it is moved. You can speak to your handyman or plumber about this. You also need to ensure that there is no food or ice left in the fridge, particularly if the move is over a long distance.
Your movers should wrap your fridge using cardboard, shrink wrap, and moving pads.
Stove
To move a stove, it is recommended that you call a certified plumber. They will disconnect the gas hose to make sure that there is no gas leak. You must empty the stove of any pans or pots and any other items. Your movers should wrap the stove using the same materials as the fridge along with moving pads.
