Take Care of These 4 Essential Tasks for Your Move to Orange County

Published: December 01, 2022

There are a few things to take care of before you start moving. UNITS® Moving and Portable Storage of Orange County is here to assist with every aspect of your move. Use this checklist to make sure everything goes according to plan during your move.

Pack Well in Advance

To avoid pressure and disarray, start packing as early as you can. This will also help guarantee that you’ll be done before the movers show up. To keep fragile items from being damaged by heavier objects on top of them, put delicate things at the top of packed boxes.

Purchase Necessities

Before unpacking your things, make sure to have all of the big pieces taken care of, such as furniture and appliances. If something’s missing, order it right away. You might not be able to get it later.

Pets and Plants 

The safety and security of your pets and plants are paramount, so you’ll want to get them settled into their new homes as expeditiously as possible. Dogs should have a comfortable space for the trip, and make sure somebody you trust will be taking care of your plants.

Notify Utilities

Lastly, contact your local utility companies to notify them of the switch. This includes not just your cable and internet service providers but also your phone company. By calling ahead and forewarning them, you might be able to avoid any outages in services.

You can avoid any headaches or difficulties that may arise during your move by following this checklist and addressing these concerns ahead of time. Check out the UNITS® Moving and Portable Storage of Orange County blog for more useful tips.
