subject: How To Prepare Appliances And Electronic Equipment For Your Movers In Los Angeles [print this page] Los Angeles movers tries to help when ever possible.When you are moving and planning to take appliances or electronic equipment there are some things that you will need to prepare in advance of Los Angeles movers arriving at your house.
First of all when you are moving appliances it is your responsibility to disconnect the appliances and reconnect the appliances at your new home.For appliances like gas ranges, Los Angeles movers recommends that you schedule an appointment with the local gas company to come in and disconnect the gas line and cap it off.You should plan on having all of your utilities turned off after the move so that you can have electricity if you need it.
It is always recommended that you thoroughly clean and dry all of the appliances that you are moving.If they are going to be stored for any length of time especially because they can start to mildew and get smelly if you don't.
As mentioned before you are responsible for the disconnection and reconnection of the appliances.That means you may need the gas company to come out and do the reconnect for you as well.Be sure to plan accordingly and have the appointment scheduled so that you will not have to go days with out your appliances.
When you are moving plasma TV's, unless you have the original packaging you will need to get the packaging required to secure the TV during the move.It is your responsibility to get it off the wall if mounted and packed appropriately before Los Angeles movers can move it for you.
When you are moving electronic equipment we recommend that you disconnect everything and label all of the cords and connections at the same time so that it is easier when you need to put it all back together.If you start a few daysearlier you can easily get everything organized and ready to go.
For large items like TV's you will leave them out.For smaller items like dvd players, printers, modems etc you will want to pack them in boxes clearly marked "which side is up" and "fragile".Do not ever pack these items stacked up on their sides, they should always lay flat.I also recommend packing the equipment and its cords and connections together so that it is not as confusing when you get to your new house.Wrapping the cords and securing them with tape will also help keep you organized and prevent you from losing important cords.
When the Los Angeles movers arrive at your house they are going to do an inventory of your items with you,this is the time when you should point out these items and let them know which boxes are indeed fragile.
These are the recommendations for preparing your appliances and electronics for Los Angeles Movers.
