Ideally, you want to relocate when the temperatures are moderate and you can transport your furniture and belongings in comfort. This is not always possible though. Those living in Texas are especially prone to having to move during uncomfortable conditions. The temperatures rarely drop below 50 degrees and if you need to move during the summer months, conditions are bound to be downright sweltering. One of the best ways to make your move go smoother and not have to worry about the heat is to work with a professional mover. Choosing a Dallas moving company or Plano moving company means you can pay someone else to handle the heat during your move. Though you might be stuck with a few doors open during the move or you might have to give some directions outside in the burning sun, the bulk of work will be handled by professionals.

If you are not lucky enough to hire pros to handle your move, there are a few things you can do to lessen the discomfort of a move during hot weather. When packing your items and storing them for the move, make sure they are kept in an air conditioned storage area. If possible, choose a vehicle to move your items that is air conditioned in both the cab and the storage area. This helps protect items that are likely to be affected by the extreme temperatures. It also keeps you comfortable when you are traveling in and out of the storage area.

On the actual day of your move, there are a number of things that can be done to make you and your helpers more comfortable. Take plenty of breaks, no matter how long it stretches things out for. The worst thing you can do is rush through a strenuous move on a blistering hot day. You are asking for heat exhaustion and a bunch of people who end up physically incapable of helping with the move. You also need to supply everyone with plenty of water. All the physical activity of lifting and carrying will dehydrate you, especially if you are sweating from the heat. Be sure to replenish your fluids by drinking plenty of water and avoiding coffee, soda and alcohol as much as possible.

If you are concerned about problems during the actual move from the heat, be sure to pack items last that are likely to be affected. Items that can melt or spoil should be transported in an air conditioned vehicle. Pack food and candles in someone’s car instead of with the rest of the boxes in the truck. If this is not an option, put these items in at the very last minute and take them into your new residence right away.

Finally, consider packing a few things on ice. If you have serious concerns about food spoiling or materials being ruined if they are left in the heat for any length of time, pack a cooler full of ice packs and add the items you fear might spoil. This solution is a great way to keep items safe if your move is long distance and you will be traveling over the course of a day or two to your new location.
