3 Tips for Summer Moving in Connecticut

Summer is a popular time for Connecticut families to move to a new home, as the weather is generally more cooperative, and it won't disrupt a child's school year. This makes summer a busy time for moving companies, so it's best to start thinking about your summer move as soon as possible.

3 Tips for Summer Moving in Connecticut

Summer moving isn't without its own set of unique challenges, but following these three tips can help make the process much less taxing for everyone.

Make Sure Utilities Are Ready in Your New Place

It's easy to forget about starting utilities at your new place, but this is a mistake that is especially important to avoid in the heat of the summer. Having your new place equipped with electricity ensures that you can turn on the air conditioner, or at least plug in a fan, while you're in the moving process to prevent you and your family from overheating as you unpack and get settled. 

Make sure to have the following ready to go before you move:

• Electricity
• Internet
• Water 
• Gas
• Garbage and recycling

It's also important to ensure your account is closed for utilities at your old place to avoid paying extra months on utilities you aren't even using.

Come Prepared with Water and Snacks

Moving is physically demanding work, especially when the summer sun is beating down on you. Prevent dehydration and overheating by packing several water bottles in a cooler and bringing snacks to help you and your family refuel and rehydrate during a hard day of work.
