Your new home will probably already have appliances. However, you may also want to consider packing and moving the appliances from your former home to take with you. To help you make the right decision, the guide below examines the pros and cons of each option so you can make an informed choice and ensure your move goes smoothly.

The Pros & Cons of Bringing Your Appliances vs. Leaving Them

Bring Them

In some cases, your new home may not have appliances already. Maybe the former owners struck a deal to take theirs, or maybe the house was completely cleaned out before it went on the market. Regardless, you’ll need to bring your appliances or purchase new ones to furnish the house. Before you make a choice, you should also assess the energy efficiency of both appliance sets. If your current ones are relatively new and the ones you would be inheriting in the move are older, packing and moving your current appliances makes sense.

Leave Them

Even if you’ve decided it’s sensible to bring one or more of your current appliances, take a few precautions. Measure any appliances you plan to want to move. If you’ll have trouble getting them into your new home or fitting through doorways, you’re better off leaving them and finding new ones once you’re settled. Additionally, if there’s only a minor difference in efficiency between the sets of appliances, it may make sense to leave your current ones so you don’t have to deal with packing and moving them.
