Your Local Partner for Safe Refrigerator Moving
Moving a fridge is more than muscle — it’s preparation, protection, and precise placement. We ask about water lines, icemakers, cabinetry clearances, flooring type, stairs, and parking. On moving day we pad and wrap the unit, secure shelves and drawers, protect floors and corners, and keep the appliance upright from kitchen to truck to the new spot. At delivery we place, level, and reconnect water lines if requested or coordinate with your preferred pro.
From vintage units to integrated panel-ready models, our teams handle the weight, the width, and the winding LA hallways. Expect tidy work, respectful crews, and a kitchen left clean and ready for cool-down.

Guide
Helpful Tips for Moving a Refrigerator
Defrost 24 hours in advance and wipe dry to prevent drips during the move.
Shut off the water line, disconnect the icemaker, and cap the valve to avoid leaks.
Measure doorways, hall turns, and the new alcove to confirm clearance and ventilation space.
Remove and tape shelves, bins, and trays; secure doors with stretch wrap to stop swing-outs.
Label hardware and hinge covers in a small bag for quick reassembly at delivery.
Clear a 36″ path and lay floor protection — tile and hardwood scratch easily under weight.
Keep the unit upright; if a brief tilt is unavoidable, let it stand 4–6 hours before powering on.
Have a new water filter ready and run several ice cycles after reconnection to flush the line.
Moving to storage? Prop doors slightly open and place a fresh deodorizer to prevent odor.
Reserve close parking or a loading zone — short carries make heavy appliance moves safer.
Pack perishables in a cooler and donate what you won’t keep to minimize waste.
Tell us about panels or integrated trim — we’ll bring the right tools for a clean removal and reinstall.
