Tips for Moving when the Heat is On

Moving during hot weather can be tough, but with a little planning and the right help, you can stay safe, comfortable, and organized. At 2 Burley Men Moving, we have helped thousands of customers move efficiently in every type of weather, including extreme heat. Here are our expert moving tips to help you handle a summer move like a pro.

Stay in the Shade Whenever Possible

When the sun is beating down, every bit of shade helps. Try to keep yourself and your movers out of direct sunlight by setting up portable canopies or parking the moving truck in a shaded area. At 2 Burley Men Moving, our professional movers know how to load and unload efficiently to minimize time in the heat and keep your belongings safe.

We also suggest cooling your new home before move-in, packing a “first night” essentials box, and keeping pets safe in cool environments.

Keep Hydration a Top Priority

Moving day involves a lot of lifting and physical activity, which can lead to dehydration quickly. Keep large bottles of cold water or electrolyte drinks nearby and take frequent water breaks. If you have hired 2 Burley Men Moving, rest assured our crews are trained to pace the work and stay hydrated so the job is completed safely and efficiently.

Protect Your Pets from the Heat

Your pets feel the heat too. Make sure they are kept in a cool, shaded area with plenty of water and ventilation. Avoid leaving them in vehicles or stuffy rooms. If possible, ask a friend to watch them in a cooler environment while your moving company handles the heavy lifting.

Cool Down Your New Home Before Moving In

Arriving at your new home only to find it overheated can make unpacking even more difficult. If possible, visit beforehand to close blinds, turn on fans or air conditioning, and ventilate the space. Our 2 Burley Men Moving crews work efficiently so you can start settling in as soon as possible, without unnecessary delays in the heat.

Pack a “First Night” Essentials Box

No matter when you move, it’s always smart to prepare a box or bag with essentials for your first night. During a summer move, include items like cold drinks, snacks, light clothing, a change of sheets, and even ice packs or cooling towels. When you move with 2 Burley Men Moving, we recommend keeping this box with you rather than loading it onto the truck so you can access it easily when you arrive.

Plan Your Move Around Cooler Hours

If you have flexibility, schedule your moving services early in the morning or later in the evening when temperatures are lower. Avoiding the midday sun will reduce the risk of heat exhaustion and make the move more comfortable for everyone. The team at 2 Burley Men Moving can help plan your move at the best time of day to suit both your schedule and the weather.
