Q: What is the correct way to transport a TV for a move?

• <div><p>The best way to transport a TV is to wrap and pack it tightly in a TV moving box with plenty of padding to protect it from damage. If a box is not available, you can use moving straps and moving blankets to secure the TV in an upright position within the moving vehicle. To prevent it from shifting during transportation, place large pieces of furniture around it for stability.</p></div>

Q: Can two people move a gun safe?

• <div><p>In most cases, you will need at least three able-bodied people to move a gun safe. Since gun safes are bulky and heavy, they can easily tip when you try to load them on the dolly and onto the truck or trailer. The more help you can get, the better! You should also consider hiring a team of professional movers to help with this heavy-duty move.</p></div>

Q: How do you hire a reliable moving company?

• <div><p>Choosing a reliable moving company is critical because you&rsquo;re entrusting all of your belongings to the professional movers, so you&rsquo;ll want to make sure you consider the following:</p><ul><li><p>The experience of the movers and the number of years in the industry</p></li><li><p>The add-on services provided, like packing and storage</p></li><li><p>The warranty or insurance coverage to protect your belongings </p></li></ul><p>We also recommend confirming that the movers are properly licensed using Angi&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">state licensing tool</a>. You can check for certification from organizations like the American Moving and Storage Association.</p></div>

Q: Can you lay a refrigerator down to move it?

• <div><p>You can lay a refrigerator down to move it with a lot of padding underneath, but it&rsquo;s best to transport it upright to keep the cooling refrigerant and compressor oil in place. These elements can cause blockages if not given time to settle before turning the fridge on. </p><p>If you need to lay the fridge down to move it, position the fridge door hinges so that doors won&rsquo;t open while moving.</p></div>

Q: What is the best thing to pack first when moving?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s best to pack things that are in storage and non-essential items first. Start by packing up items you are taking from your storage unit, garage <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-move-shed.htm">or shed</a>, basement, and attic. You should wait to pack essential items such as toiletries and medications last.</p></div>

Choosing a reliable moving company is critical because you’re entrusting all of your belongings to the professional movers, so you’ll want to make sure you consider the following:

The experience of the movers and the number of years in the industry
The add-on services provided, like packing and storage
The warranty or insurance coverage to protect your belongings

We also recommend confirming that the movers are properly licensed using Angi’s state licensing tool. You can check for certification from organizations like the American Moving and Storage Association.

You can lay a refrigerator down to move it with a lot of padding underneath, but it’s best to transport it upright to keep the cooling refrigerant and compressor oil in place. These elements can cause blockages if not given time to settle before turning the fridge on.
