ULTIMATE SUMMER MOVING CHECKLIST 2022

There are several reasons to schedule your house relocation during this season, including less rain, more beautiful days, and an increase in rental property due to the seasonal trend. Summer may appear to be the busiest season for moving. There is no snow to contend with, the kids are out of school, and you are eager to settle into your new home. This summer moving checklist has been compiled to give you a head start on everything you need to know about your summer relocation.

Specify when you want to relocate during the summer

• Summer mornings are popular because the milder temperatures make it easier for you and your movers to work inside your old and new apartments while performing the physically demanding task of moving all of your household items.
• If you want to beat the heat, professional movers and packers who offer 24-hour moving services may schedule your move even earlier in the morning.

Prepare Ahead of Time

• While routine moves can be scheduled two weeks in advance, a morning summer relocation should be scheduled 4–6 weeks in advance.
• Remember that any change typically requires approval from your building’s management team, as well as a costly Certificate of Insurance (COI), which is required in many countries.

Maintain Your Cool & Calm During Your Summer Move

• Because your apartment’s doors will be open while movers remove or deliver your belongings, it may not be ideal to use your AC unit; however, open as many windows as possible to help with air movement and use any portable fans your movers can load last.
• For the same reason, make sure your new house’s utilities are connected ahead of time so you can run portable fans, store cool drinks in the refrigerator, and settle in comfortably.

Some Areas Require Special Attention

• Movers load boxes from your home directly into their vehicle, which can reach temperatures of over 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Electronics, wine, musical instruments, vinyl records, and artwork should be loaded last because they can be damaged by extreme temperatures.
• Consider bespoke crating with cooling, which experienced movers can provide if you need to keep valuables at constant ideal temperatures.
• Heat can cause cracking and peeling on leather furniture, but your professional movers will know how to protect it from direct sunlight.

Make certain when packing

• The first step in moving is to gather all of the necessary items. You can save money, time, and stress by organizing your moving goods ahead of time.
• Detect and dispose of combustible substances such as gasoline, lighter fluid, and rubbing alcohol with extra caution during the summer.
• We also recommend that you keep your moving day suitcase with you regardless of whether you are relocating in the summer, winter, or any other season.

Do You Know About Summer Shifting Sickness?

• The heat and stress of moving can be exhausting, so make sure that young or frail family members have a cool, hydrated place to go while you deal with the rest of the day.
• If you don’t need to defrost or unplug your freezer, having some ice packs on hand until you’re ready to go may come in handy.
• Wrap them in a cloth, even if it’s just a paper towel, instead of putting them directly on your skin.

Unpack Carefully

• If your heat-sensitive items were loaded last, they will be unloaded first, and you can unwrap them to release any trapped heat and store them in a dark, cool place, taking care not to remove any tape that may have loosened in the heat.
• You might want to empty your refrigerator and fill up some ice trays faster than you would in a winter move, but by the end of a summer move, all you need is to set up the bedding for a good night’s rest and keep your fluids up.

Get an Early Start on Moving Day

• Begin your move as early as possible to avoid the hottest part of the day. The majority of the most difficult work may be completed before the heat reaches its peak.
• Starting early allows you to avoid the busiest times on the road. If you can start your move before 8 a.m., you’ll be traveling to your new location when it’s hotter but less congested.

Final Conclusion-

Some people believe that moving in the summer is far more difficult than moving in the winter. You still need to plan and prepare, as well as figure out how to deal with all that sun. But don’t worry, because that’s exactly why we’re here. If you follow these ten important summer moving tips, you should have a stress-free summer relocation.
