Starting a new job in a new town is one of the numerous reasons you might have to relocate quickly. With a fast-approaching deadline, you might have to schedule moving services for summer instead of waiting until cooler weather. The following advice is designed to help cut down on stress while moving in the heat. 

3 Tips for Easy Summer Relocation

1. Avoid Relocating During Peak Times

Although moving service providers field requests throughout summer, there are times when they are busier than others. For greater odds of getting a spot on the books before your relocation deadline, move during the week instead of on the weekend. As people often end or begin the month with a move, arrange for your relocation in the middle of the month.     

2. Take Care With Items That Don’t Do Well in Heat

As hot as it is outside, it can be much warmer inside a moving truck. High temperatures can spoil medications, kill plants, short-circuit electronics, melt wax candles, cause the paint on artwork to drip, and damage other heat-intolerant property.

Take inventory of everything that can’t handle the heat. Plan to take these items with you in an air-conditioned car or keep them in a climate-controlled storage unit until you settle into the new home.  

3. Have Utilities Turned on Before You Move in

A few days or weeks before you move out of the old house, reach out to your utility companies to transfer services to the new home. If you are moving out of your current utility companies’ service range, close the accounts and set up new ones with different providers. Arrange for electricity and gas to be turned on before you move in. This way, you can turn on the central air as soon as you arrive.
