Dos and donts you should remember while moving appliances

Are you staying in San Antonio and planning to move your appliance from one place to another? Often in such situations, we have seen a client or friend come up with ideas. We have also seen just as many faulty ones that have resulted in someone damaging a valuable or even injuring themselves in the process.

The following are the top things to do and what to avoid when you opt for San Antonio appliance moving services.

CREATE A PATH

You should create a clear path to the moving truck before moving valuables or other difficult items. Put down blankets or towels so that you do not scuff up your hardwood floor or track dirt in from outside. If you are in motion, make sure you secure these so they don't slide around too much or get in the way.

DON’T SKIMP ON MOVING MATERIALS

Use some of the money you're saving on security straps, dollies, and other moving gear that will ease the burden on you and your helpers if you're moving your appliance yourself or with friends. Make sure you review the best moving products offered by companies in your area.

UNPLUG YOUR FRIDGE 24 HOURS IN ADVANCE

This is a common mistake: waiting until the day of the move to clean out your fridge and turn it off. When you don't give yourself enough time to open the doors, throw away perishables, and mop up melting ice with rags, you will be carrying a leaking fridge that can create puddles that pose a great safety hazard.

DRAIN YOUR WASHING MACHINE

A washing machine needs plenty of time to be unplugged, just like your fridge. Additionally, you'll need to remove the hose to drain any excess water left in the machine. You will not have to carry water weight on top of the already heavy appliance.

HIRE PROFESSIONALS

It's entirely possible to move your appliances yourself, but by hiring professional appliance movers San Antonio you will spare yourself the stress and physical strain of moving such items.
