Summer Moving Tips: How to Beat the Heat

Summer Moving Tips: How to Beat the Heat

Moving during the summer can be a challenge. High temperatures and humidity can add extra stress to an already busy day. With the right planning and a few smart strategies, you can stay cool, organized, and on track for a successful move.

How to Stay Cool on Moving Day

Start Early
Begin your move early in the morning to avoid the hottest part of the day and take advantage of cooler temperatures.

Stay Hydrated
Keep plenty of water available for everyone helping with the move. Take regular breaks in the shade to avoid heat exhaustion.

Pack Smart for the Heat
Pack heat sensitive items in protective containers and keep essentials like snacks, water, and cooling towels close by.

Dress for the Weather
Wear lightweight clothing, comfortable shoes, and use sunscreen or a hat for sun protection.

Prep Your New Home
Turn on the air conditioning or fans before you arrive so your new space is cool and comfortable from the start.

Moving on a Budget During Peak Season

Summer is a popular time to move, which can mean higher costs. A little planning can help keep expenses under control.

Consider DIY Options
Renting a truck and asking friends to help can save money compared to full service movers.

Schedule Off Peak Times
Avoid weekends and the beginning or end of the month when demand is highest.

Declutter Before You Pack
The less you move, the less you spend. Donate, sell, or recycle items you no longer need.

Shop Around for Movers
Compare quotes from multiple companies and ask about promotions or seasonal discounts.
