10 Essential Tips for Moving in the Summer

Summer is a popular time for moving, but it can also be one of the most challenging seasons due to the heat and busy schedules. By following these tips, you can make your summer move a breeze and start settling into your new home with ease.
-
Visit your new home a day before move-in day to turn the air conditioning to a comfortable temperature, stock the refrigerator with water bottles, and stock the bathroom(s) with toilet paper and hand soap.
-
Schedule your move during the cooler parts of the day, such as early morning or late afternoon, to avoid the scorching midday sun.
-
Keep yourself and your moving crew hydrated by providing plenty of water and electrolyte drinks throughout the day.
-
Wrap fragile items in bubble wrap or packing paper and label boxes clearly to ensure they're handled with care.
-
Pack heavier items in smaller boxes to prevent them from becoming too heavy to lift. Use blankets or towels to protect furniture from scratches and damage.
-
Take the opportunity to declutter and donate items you no longer need or use. This will lighten your load and make unpacking easier.
-
Consider hiring professional movers to help with the heavy lifting and transportation. They have the experience and equipment to make your move more efficient.
-
Notify your utility companies of your move and schedule disconnection and reconnection dates for services, like electricity, water, and internet.
-
Pack a separate box with essentials like toiletries, medications, snacks, and important documents you'll need on moving day.
-
Moving can be physically and mentally exhausting, so take breaks often to rest and recharge.
