When it comes to relocation, packing your household items properly is critical to ensure they arrive intact at your new address. Similar to your antiques and delicate items, packing electronics can also be a frustrating experience. With all the wires and cables, you don’t know whether you should pack it all together or unplug the wires and pack separately. Obviously, you want the TV, washing machine, microwave and other gadgets to reach your new place in safe and sound condition. For this reason, we always advise homeowners to hire experienced removalists in Sydney.
The professionals have the expertise and necessary knowledge to pack household electronics securely. With their robust equipment inventory and top-quality packing materials, it’s no wonder that they’re the best at packing electronics for a house move.
Steps to Pack Your Electronics for a House Move
To make your electronics packing error-free, it is important to follow a proper strategy. This blog will help you to pack your electronics for a house move correctly.
1. Backup crucial data: In the digital age of transformation, the computer is the most secure place to save critical data. So, before you begin packing your desktop or laptop, make sure you have a backup of all your important files, documents and photos that were saved on your system. You can take a backup of your data in a pen drive from which the information can be easily retrieved later on. Most homeowners forget about taking a backup of data before packing electronics and later regret when the vital documents and folders are lost in the moving process.
2. Have the right packing materials: The key to secure packing is using the right materials. Since the road to your new home will not be a smooth one, it is essential to adequately prepare your electronics for the bumpy ride ahead. This is not possible when you lack the right packing supplies. Start by wrapping the electronics in layers of packing paper and bubble wraps. Tape each item tightly. To fill the empty space inside the moving boxes, make use of peanut filling; it’s excellent for offering maximum protection to delicate items and filling the unused space.
Homeowners often miss out on one aspect of packing electronics – failing to protect the gadgets from shocks and vibrations of the journey. That’s not usually the case when you appoint top-rated removalists for the job. They use the best quality shock-proof materials like air bubble, stretch film covers, corrugated sheet and bubble wrap to offer the necessary protection against any form of damage.
If getting all the packing supplies sounds like a hassle, you can hire experienced removalists in Sydney. They’re the experts in packing electronics, furniture and other possessions in the safest ways possible and use first-class materials for the purpose.
3. Disconnect all electronics: Many homeowners avoid disassembling electronics as this helps to easily install and operate right away. Just plug in the cables, position the screen and turn on your favourite TV show. Isn’t that simple? But if you consider the opinion of a professional removalist, disassembling your electronics before packing is a proven way to keep your electronics protected.
The chance of bending, shifting or breaking away is more effectively reduced. Professional Sydney removalists begin packing by taking apart the removable components and pack the electronics.
When packing the TV, it should always be placed in an upright position. Professional movers wrap the TV screen in several layers of packing paper, bubble wraps and foam sheets. As a result, the thick layers keep the device adequately protected against breakage. It’s best to pack electronics in their original boxes and if you don’t have them, relax! Experienced movers are equipped with boxes of various sizes and a wide range of packing materials.
4. Take out the batteries: Electronics are built to endure a certain degree of temperature. If it is too hot or cold, the devices can suffer damage. Whether you’re packing the laptop or tablet, it’s crucial to remove the batteries first. This protects the device against the damaging effects of acid leaks during transportation. Batteries are usually susceptible to corrosion when subjected to overheating. To safeguard your electronics from accidental acid leaks, remove the batteries, pack the batteries and devices individually.
5. Keep the cords organized: Unpacking becomes more time-consuming when you have to untangle a great number of cables and wires. Like the batteries, remove the cords, cables, remotes and adapters. Pack these carefully in a layer or two of packing papers, use packing tapes to wrap around securely and keep them inside a box. Label this box as ‘WIRES and CABLES’. This will help in preventing the cables and wires to get entangled and expedite your unpacking process.
