Bryan, United States - July 22, 2022 / G&M Haulers /

Buying a new home is an exciting time. As you wait for all the formalities to be completed, you will surely be anxious to start the moving in process.

Yet is the new house ready to receive your belongings once they are delivered by your moving company?

Make your relocation easier and your new home safer by following the easy tips referenced below before the moving services arrive with all of your personal property.

Schedule Utility Services and Address Changes

Changing your address when you are moving could not be easier and you can do it ahead of time to get it out of the way.

Simply fill out a change of address form online or at the Post Office with the date your mail delivery should start to go to your new home.

When dealing with your change of address, call your utility providers and arrange for the dates to shut off each utility at your existing residence and start service at the new house.

Be sure to start service before move-in day so the other things on this list can be taken care of before moving services deliver your personal belongings.

Make A First Day Moving Box

While you are packing to prepare for moving, pack a separate box of essentials and other items you will need the day you move in.

Have things like sheets, towels, toiletries, electric chargers for power tools, a change of clothing, as well as a few pans, dishes and utensils readily available.

This will give you more time to unpack everything else without stress once the moving company has finished unloading.

Change the Locks

The first thing any new homeowner should do once the closing is over is change the locks on exterior house doors.

Whether you do this yourself or hire someone, a new set of locks is an important security measure you will want to take care of before moving services start to unload your personal belongings.

Clean and Paint Ahead of Time

The easiest time to paint any home is before actually moving in while the house is still empty.

Plan ahead so you can add a fresh coat of paint to brighten up the place.

If you have not yet decided on a color scheme, take this chance to at least paint the ceilings while you have easy access and do not need to cover everything up.

Once you have finished painting, go through the house and clean everything so the moving company delivers your items to a prepared home.

Steam clean the carpets, clean all the appliances, scrub the baseboards, and mop all floors so your new residence looks and smells fresh.

Check Your Breaker Box

Before moving services arrive with your property and your attention turns to unpacking and setting up appliances and electronics, become familiar with the location of the breaker box.

Test the box to ensure that everything is correctly labeled and working properly.

Looking at it now will save you headaches later if you trip a breaker while still getting settled in your home.

Check Smoke and Carbon Dioxide Detectors

While you are looking over the breaker box and checking the circuits, remember to go through the house and inspect smoke and carbon monoxide alarms.

This is a great time to put in fresh batteries and make sure they are properly wired to function correctly and if the house does not have any, take the time to install some now.

Now You Are Ready to Move Into Your First Home!

Moving into your first house can be both stressful and exciting.

Reduce your stress and make getting settled in once moving services arrive easier by taking care of these few, but important details in advance.

When your moving company arrives to unload your boxes, the house will be ready for you to start making it your home!
