It can be difficult to relocate to a new house or business, especially when you have to transport heavy, bulky items like air conditioners (ACs). If you are hiring professional services from Packers and movers in Hyderabad, most of your burden will be eased but if you are trying to do it on your own, it can be a difficult task. A comfortable home or office requires an air conditioner, therefore it’s important to pack and move them carefully to prevent damage. We’ll go over some packing and moving advice for your AC in this blog.
Steps to pack and move your air conditioner
- Unplug the socket and drain completely
Draining your air conditioner is the first step in relocating it, so unplug it first. This is one of the most important steps and you cannot skip this. The unit must be unplugged in order to drain the water that has accumulated within. While it’s true that not all air conditioners have a water collection dish, if yours does, you’d better dry everything out. In fact, it is preferable to clean the entire device once you have found the water drainage point.
- Detach to remove
You should be aware of how heavy AC units are. To handle it properly, it would require experience and understanding that only specialists have. The unit will be gently unscrewed in this phase by the movers, especially if it is on a window shelf. Additionally, they have the equipment needed to remove the unit, such as screwdrivers, a lifting device to transfer your air conditioner so it can be placed onto the truck, a durable bag to store your removable parts, and grip gloves. Additionally, they will completely maintain the AC’s hose and the location where hot air is released.
- Refilling the window gap
Your window will have a gap after you unplug the air conditioner, which needs to be filled. Your windows must be constructed of plastic, fibreglass, or possibly acrylic if they lack window openers. You can utilise these pieces when installing the device at the window of the new residence if you keep them safely with you. Therefore, be cautious to properly re-seal the window.
- Packing the unit
You must be particularly cautious when packing the AC unit. You’ll realise how crucial it is to drain and clean the unit when you load it into the truck. Of course, you wouldn’t want the water that has accumulated inside the AC to get on your other home items. Your air conditioner will be packed by professional House shifting services in Hyderabad in a box with adequate Styrofoam padding and, if necessary, bubble wrap. Additionally, they’ll try taping the AC’s removable components with it solely. Although it will be a little difficult to slide it into the box, once it is there, it will keep all the pieces secure and undamaged.
- Reinstalling in the new house
You’ll need to replace the AC unit once you’ve successfully relocated into your new home. In order to keep the proper temperature in the room, you will need to select the window at which you want to install the unit and look into how to properly seal the window.
It is crucial to name the box once the air conditioner has been packed within it so that you do not mix it up with other boxes that have been filled with different items. Keep in mind that packing an electrical equipment like this demands experience from an expert; otherwise, you risk damaging your unit as well as your life because electrical circuits are hazardous.
