Keep these strategies in mind:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Use a sturdy appliance dolly (with straps).<\/li>\n<li>Enlist a second person to help balance the load.<\/li>\n<li>Be sure to lift with your legs, not your back.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid dragging heavy appliances, as they can damage your floors or the unit itself.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Step 5: Loading into the Truck<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Place appliances upright and near the front of the truck.<\/li>\n<li>Use tie-downs or straps to keep them from shifting.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid stacking items on top of them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Pro Tip:<\/strong>\u00a0Load appliances last so they come out first at your new place, making it easier to set up your kitchen and laundry right away.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 6: Set Up at the New Home<\/h2>\n<p>Before plugging in:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Check floors are level and dry.<\/li>\n<li>Reconnect water, power, and gas (if needed).<\/li>\n<li>Let the fridge sit unplugged for 3 hours if transported on its side. This prevents compressor damage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If anything seems off, it\u2019s best to bring in a technician for evaluation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-m6ti7d4e-d186d46feda29d7563c88e32202be96e\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-m6ti7d4e-d186d46feda29d7563c88e32202be96e{\nheight:40px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-m6ti7d4e-d186d46feda29d7563c88e32202be96e hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-10  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_full '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-6t55t7-6d09e739ba604e816b4497362cd14295\">\n.flex_column.av-6t55t7-6d09e739ba604e816b4497362cd14295{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-6t55t7-6d09e739ba604e816b4497362cd14295 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-11  el_after_av_hr  avia-builder-el-last  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  '     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-34n6aq-d4f19801e3a1f3ecff567e2e0454a1b8\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-34n6aq-d4f19801e3a1f3ecff567e2e0454a1b8{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-34n6aq-d4f19801e3a1f3ecff567e2e0454a1b8 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-34n6aq-d4f19801e3a1f3ecff567e2e0454a1b8 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-34n6aq-d4f19801e3a1f3ecff567e2e0454a1b8 av-special-heading-h2 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-12  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first '><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Don\u2019t Want the Hassle?
