Helpful Tips on Moving

Moving is hectic enough without having to worry about the safety and security of your family and new home.  At Broadview Security, we understand the importance of keeping a close eye on your family and home, which includes installing a reliable home alarm system. With the moving tips below, we want to help make your move a little less stressful and securing your new home easier. Here are a few helpful tips on moving: Take Notes Make a note of your shipment registration number and keep it with you in case you need to call your mover with questions about your shipment. Get the Bed Ready Designate one drawer of a dresser for sheets and towels so that you won’t have to rummage through boxes for these essentials the first night in your new home. Pack Heavy – Pack Light Avoid the “crush factor”. Pack heavy items in small boxes and lighter items together in larger boxes. Keep the Phone Book Take your current phone book with you. You may need to make calls to residents or businesses back in your former hometown. Protect Your Memories If it is irreplaceable, take it with you in the car. If you decide to pack framed photos or art, place sheets or blankets between them for added protection.   Remember the Bare Necessities Pack a box with the essentials you may need upon arrival at your new home and ask your van foreman to load it last so that it will be unloaded first. Take a Break for the Computer Upon arrival at your new home, let your computer “acclimate” itself to room temperature before plugging it in. Enjoy the Help Leave the rest to the professionals; sit back and relax, and look forward to the new opportunities, friends and experiences that are part of any move.
