Apartment Moving Tips You Need in the Heat of Summer

Clear skies and warm weather make for ideal moving conditions. However, the intense Texas heat can make a summer move much more difficult for you and your crew. Here are useful tips to help you prepare.

Sort out the details

Prevent any issues or problems by talking out the details with your movers early on. Pick out the best time for the move, like early or late in the day. That’s going to help keep you and your movers out of the sun. Pack a water bottle If you’re going to help move things around, or you’ll be busy trying to be everywhere at once while you coordinate the move, then you’ll need to stay hydrated.

Pack a water bottle

If you’re going to help move things around, or you’ll be busy trying to be everywhere at once while you coordinate the move, then you’ll need to stay hydrated. Pack along a large water bottle, one that you can easily refill throughout the day. Have water handy if you’re going to be doing strenuous and sweaty work like moving some of the boxes by yourself.

Wear the right clothes

Pick clothes you’ll be comfortable in. Lightweight options are ideal. Go for breathable fabrics too such as linen and cotton. If you’re comfortable during the move, then you’ll have an easier time at it.

Fix your schedule

Be sure to schedule the power shutoff before the move. Do it a day after the move is done so you can still use the air conditioning or electric fans until the last box or item is out the door. Shutting it down on D-Day can make for less-than-stellar moving conditions, which can lead to short tempers, a great deal of discomfort and even health problems. After all, if the heat proves too much, you or someone in your family could get heat stroke.

Don’t DIY it

Make your life easier by hiring professional movers to help you out. They have the handling expertise to take care of your belongings properly and the tools as well as network to deliver your belongings to your new address safely.

Book early

The worst-case scenario? Forgetting to book a moving company early, then not being able to find (or afford) a reputable company when it’s time to move. Don’t leave anything to doubt. Once you know when you need to move, book the date with Fireman Movers as soon as possible.

  • Mike Z

    I wanted to reach out and thank you and your crew for the help and work they did in my move. Your guys were professional and very positive throughout the whole move. They really put me at ease and what I thought would be very frustrating day was a good experience. They were very careful and treated my stuff with great care. When they arrived I felt we were maybe not as packed and organized as we should have been but they helped get it together and packed on the truck. I was so glad it went so smooth. Please thank the crew and please use us as a reference as we are a happy customer. My daughter had used you and we were glad she gave us your number.
