Refrigerator
They weigh 200 to 350 lbs and contain compressor oil that can permanently damage the cooling system if the unit tips during transit. Ice maker and waterline disconnection is required before loading the refrigerator for the transition.
Moving heavy refrigerators, washing machines, dryers, and ranges requires specialized equipment and experienced technique. Galaxy Movers Regina protects your appliances and your home floors from damage.
Equipped with appliance dollies, heavy-duty padded blankets, and floor runners for safe transport.
Appliances are heavy, awkwardly balanced, and easily scratched. Our crew utilizes specialized appliance straps and pneumatic tire dollies to maneuver through tight doorways and staircases without marking your hardwood or tile.
Each appliance is thoroughly encased in thick moving blankets and shrink-wrapped to protect stainless steel finishes.
We install neoprene runners and door jamb covers to keep your floors and walls scratch-free throughout the move.
From French-door refrigerators to heavy gas ranges, our certified movers understand the mechanical vulnerabilities of modern appliances.
Systematic protection at every stage of the appliance relocation.
Doors, hoses, and power cords are taped down and wrapped securely.
Using specialized rubber-padded appliance dollies, we navigate stairs and ramps smoothly.
We place your appliance in its designated kitchen or laundry spot with precision.
As an appliance moving company, we provide services to transport commercial appliances and large household items using special equipment that is specific to mechanically sensitive and heavy items. This differentiates us from other general movers, who use furniture pads and dollies; these tools are suitable for sofas and dressers but not for lifting heavy appliances like refrigerators or washing machines. The main difference is expertise and equipment. A qualified appliance moving service arrives with special appliance dollies, heavy-duty ratchet straps, powered stair climbers and special operational training to recognize when a licensed technician is required for the gas line disconnection. These are the basic baselines for moving appliances, not optional add-ons for secure moving.
When hiring a moving company, always search for equipment movers near me that provide complete services, including appliance capabilities, meaning the entire job is managed by our dedicated team. That prevents the scheduling complexity of booking separate specialists for appliances moving along with regular movers.
The appliances that are transported by our team with special equipment are listed below:
They weigh 200 to 350 lbs and contain compressor oil that can permanently damage the cooling system if the unit tips during transit. Ice maker and waterline disconnection is required before loading the refrigerator for the transition.
They require the proper shut-off and final line sealing or capping by a licensed and professional technician before the crew can disconnect the appliance.
Front-loading machines are heavy and can sustain irreversible bearing damage if the drum is not braced during transportation. Washing machine moving service handles hose disconnection, drum bracing and reinstallation.
Built into cabinetry and connected with power and water, moving the dishwasher requires complete uninstallation from transport, cabinet frame and reinstallation at destination.
Integrated appliances need careful extraction from the surrounding cabinets and framing before transit of large appliances.
Moving the large appliances does not require improvisation; it requires special protection.
Our professional team carries the four-wheel appliance hand truck and stair-climbing equipment. For floor protection, Masonite boards, rubber runners, or heavy-duty felt sheeting go down before the appliance is moved from its normal position. This prevents tile and hardwood damage that makes the DIY moving process more expensive than it seems to be.
Every appliance is wrapped in moving blankets and secured with the help of stretch wrap before moving. Glass cooktops, control panels, and stainless steel require special padding. This is the systematic approach that is followed by us so that every single appliance gets protected and moved safely to the new destination.
Refrigerators are transported on their side, which allows the compressor oils to flow in the cooling lines. The appliance may run normally for a few days before failing. Professional movers know this very well and transport the refrigerator in the upright direction. The same guidelines are applied to all other appliances that require a specific transit orientation.
For items for which doorways and stairwell dimensions are not navigable, Galaxy Movers Regina professionals use special crane services and the same rule applies to oversized items that enter through balconies or windows.
The cost is determined on the basis of 4 factors: the quantity and type of the appliance, distance between locations and whether the disconnection and relocation is included or not.
Rate of single appliance moving is calculated as a rate per item, and a multi-appliance rate is added to the residential move and included in the hourly rate, which makes it more cost-effective to include the appliances in the entire moving process instead of hiring separate movers to transport the appliances.
The accurate estimation needs a pre-walkthrough where assessments like floor types, stairwells and special equipment are required before truck rolls.
Completing the preparation before the arrival of the crew reduces the move time and avoids complications. Moving the appliances efficiently starts with these steps, which are completed before the moving day. For a checklist covering household appliances and furniture, the following are the steps to prepare the appliances:

Most moving companies mainly only transport the appliances, but we disconnect and connect the appliances.
The appliances should be prepared 24 to 48 hours in advance before moving.
The equipment used for moving the heavy appliances includes ratchet straps, an appliance dolly, moving blankets and so on, depending on the size and type of appliance.
At least 3 to 4 hours after plugging it in, you have to wait at the new location.
To prepare the washing machine before moving, drain the water and disconnect the power supply.
It is not recommended to move the gas dryer by yourself.
