How to Move to Greenville Efficiently in the Winter Months

Published: December 01, 2022

Although most people assume that moving during spring and summer is best, sometimes other seasons must be taken into account. If you have to move during winter, don’t worry!

UNITS Moving and Portable Storage of Greenville is here to offer some practical tips that will help your move efficiently during the winter months.

Make Your Schedule Flexible

Although winter can be a picturesque time of year, it’s one of the most troublesome seasons to move in because of the frequently unfavorable weather conditions. Random events such as hail storms and snowfall are more predominant and can make moving physically demanding and dangerous.

To avoid this common issue, be flexible with your schedule if possible. If you can wait to move until the snow or hail clears, it will help lower stress levels and injuries on moving day.

Ensure All Pathways are Clear

It can be tough to make your way from your front door to the portable container or moving truck, even on sunny days. If it has recently snowed, clear a path between your house and the vehicle so that you can get around easily. Not only do you need to shovel the path clear of snow, but you also need to lay down salt so that any ice will melt. You don’t want anyone getting hurt on moving day

Turn on Utilities Before Moving

Before you even start unpacking boxes in your new home, double-check that all utilities are up and running. The last thing you want is to be without heat or hot water on moving day. Make the switch from the previous owner’s name over to yours well before the big day so that everything will be set up and working properly when you arrive.

Don’t Move on Your Own

Last but not least, don’t try to transport all your things alone. The harsh road conditions are best left to professionals. That’s why you should use a moving service.
