Guide
Helpful Tips for Moving Appliances in Los Angeles
Empty and clean refrigerators and freezers; defrost at least 24 hours prior and dry the interior to prevent leaks.
Reserve elevators and loading docks early; request a Certificate of Insurance if your building requires one.
Measure doorways, hallways, and stair turns; remove doors on the unit if clearance is tight.
Photograph hose and cord hookups before disconnecting so reinstallers can match the configuration quickly.
Use transit bolts for front-load washers and secure drums and shelves to prevent internal damage.
Shut off water and gas at the source; arrange a licensed technician for disconnection/reconnection if needed.
Clear pathways and protect floors with runners — especially in high-rise and condo buildings.
Remove detergents, propane cylinders, and aerosols from appliance storage areas before moving.
Label hardware in small bags by room and unit (e.g., “Kitchen—Dishwasher mounting screws”).
Keep pets secured during carry-out and delivery to maintain a safe, efficient workflow.

FAQ
Appliance Movers in Los Angeles — Frequently Asked Questions
Answers about prep, access, pricing, protection, and what’s included when moving appliances in Los Angeles.
Do you disconnect and reconnect appliances?
We prepare and secure appliances for moving and place/level them at delivery. Gas, water, and electrical disconnections/reconnections should be handled by a licensed technician or building maintenance per local rules.
Will my refrigerator travel upright?
Yes — we transport fridges upright and strapped. If a brief tilt is unavoidable for access, we allow proper standing time before reconnection per best practices.
Can you move appliances up or down stairs?
Absolutely. We use appliance dollies, harness systems, and stair-climbers to navigate stairwells safely, including tight turns common in LA buildings.
Do you handle built-in or paneled appliances?
Yes. Please let us know the brand and model, panel details, and any custom trim. We’ll coordinate with your installer if removal or re-mounting is required.
How should I prepare a washer and dryer?
Shut off water, disconnect hoses, drain residual water, and install the manufacturer’s transit bolts for front-load models. Clean lint from dryers and unplug before our crew arrives.
Can you move a single appliance only?
Yes — we offer single-item service for fridges, ranges, washers, dryers, and more, including in-home shuffles and curb-to-kitchen delivery.
Do you provide Certificates of Insurance (COI)?
We can issue a COI to your building upon request and coordinate elevator windows and loading docks as needed.
What items can’t you transport with appliances?
We don’t move hazardous materials (propane, fuels, aerosols) or perishable food. Empty and clean units before moving day.
How far in advance should I book appliance movers in Los Angeles?
Booking a week or two ahead secures ideal times, especially for month-end or weekend slots. Same-week service is often available.
Do you level appliances after placement?
Yes — we position and level units so they’re ready for a technician to connect water, gas, or electrical service per code.
