APPLIANCE MOVING

Appliance Movers in Boston

Large appliances are some of the heaviest and most awkward items in any home. Refrigerators need to stay upright. Washers have drums that shift during transport. Gas stoves require professional disconnection before they can be moved. Improper handling damages the unit, your floors, and your doorframes.

Poseidon Moving handles full-home appliance relocations, standalone single-item moves, and store pickups from retailers like Lowe’s and Home Depot. Our crews use heavy-duty appliance dollies, lifting straps, ramps, and protective wrapping — and we place every unit exactly where you want it. Available for both local and long distance moves.

EVERY APPLIANCE MOVE INCLUDES

What Your Move Covers

Every appliance move with Poseidon includes protective wrapping, proper equipment for safe transport, and placement at the destination. If your appliance move is part of a larger residential relocation, we handle the full house alongside your appliances with the same crew.

Need us to box your kitchen? Add packing services to your booking. If your building requires proof of coverage, we issue a Certificate of Insurance before move day. Need furniture disassembly alongside your appliance move? That’s included in every booking.

WHAT’S INCLUDED

Every appliance is wrapped in padded moving blankets and secured with straps to prevent dents, scratches, and shifting during transport. Doors on refrigerators, washers, and dryers are strapped shut. Loose components like shelves, racks, and grates are removed and wrapped separately.

Our crews bring equipment designed specifically for heavy, bulky appliances:

✓ Heavy-duty appliance dollies

✓ Lifting straps

✓ Loading ramps

✓ Furniture pads

✓ Floor runners

✓ Door jamb protectors

We position every appliance in its designated spot, ensure it’s level, and confirm proper ventilation spacing for units that require it. For refrigerators, we leave clearance for airflow behind the unit. Your appliance is ready for reconnection the moment we place it.

We pick up new appliances from Lowe’s, Home Depot, or any retailer and deliver them directly to your home. If you’re replacing an old unit, we can move the old appliance to your garage, basement, or storage facility on the same trip.

Every appliance move includes basic liability coverage at $0.60 per pound per item. Given the weight of most large appliances, this provides meaningful protection. Additional valuation coverage is available for high-end or commercial-grade units.

WHAT WE MOVE

Appliances We Move

Each appliance has unique components, risks, and handling requirements. Here’s how we approach each type.

COOLING

Refrigerators and Freezers

Always transported upright on a heavy-duty dolly. Doors strapped shut, shelves and drawers removed. Placed with proper ventilation spacing at the destination. Wait 4 hours before plugging back in.

LAUNDRY

Washers and Dryers

Drained and disconnected before loading. Front-loader drums secured with transit bolts when available. Wrapped in padded blankets and moved with an appliance dolly for proper weight distribution. Leveled at delivery.

COOKING

Ovens, Stoves, and Ranges

Racks and grates removed and wrapped separately. Gas lines must be professionally disconnected before move day. Unit wrapped in moving blankets and positioned level at the new location, ready for reconnection.

DISHWASHERS

Built-In and Freestanding

Water supply disconnected, interior drained of residual water. Hoses secured to prevent leaking during transport. Positioned and leveled at the destination for reconnection to water and drain lines.

SPECIALTY

Wine Coolers and Mini Fridges

Wine coolers require upright transport to protect compressors and avoid disturbing bottles. Mini fridges are defrosted, wrapped, and secured. Both are placed with ventilation clearance at the new location.

COMMERCIAL

Commercial Kitchen Equipment

Restaurant-grade ranges, walk-in cooler components, industrial dishwashers, and commercial ice machines. These units require specialized dollies and multi-person crews due to their weight and dimensions.

BEFORE MOVE DAY

How to Prepare Your Appliances

Proper preparation before our crew arrives ensures a faster, safer appliance move. Here’s what to do for each major appliance.

✓

Refrigerator

Unplug 24 hours ahead. Empty all food, remove shelves and drawers, clean the interior, and leave doors open to dry.

✓

Washer

Run an empty drain cycle. Disconnect water supply hoses and power cord. Secure the drum with transit bolts if available.

✓

Dryer

Unplug and disconnect the vent hose. Clean the lint trap and vent duct. Tape the power cord to the back of the unit.

✓

Dishwasher

Run an empty cycle the night before. Turn off the water supply, disconnect hoses, and drain any residual water.

✓

Oven/Stove (Electric)

Unplug the unit. Remove racks and grates. Clean the interior to prevent odors during transport.

Oven/Stove (Gas)

Have a licensed professional disconnect the gas line before moving day. Remove racks and grates. Gas appliances must always be disconnected and reconnected by a licensed professional.

WHY POSEIDON

Why Choose Poseidon for Appliance Moving

✓

Crews Trained Specifically for Appliance Handling

Our appliance movers undergo specific training for heavy, bulky, and mechanically sensitive units. They know which appliances must stay upright, which need transit bolts, and which require drainage before they can be moved.

✓

Boston Building Expertise

Tight stairways, narrow hallways, and walk-ups are standard in Boston’s older housing stock. Our crews navigate these conditions with appliances daily. When access is too restricted for conventional carrying, hoisting through windows is available.

✓

We Walk You Through Prep Before Move Day

Not sure how to prepare a refrigerator or drain a washer? When you book, we send you clear instructions for each appliance type so everything is ready when the crew arrives. Proper prep means faster loading and no water damage.

✓

Single Items or Full Homes — Same Quality

Moving one dryer from a third-floor walk-up gets the same equipment and care as moving every appliance in a five-bedroom house. We don’t cut corners on standalone jobs. Affordable hourly and flat-rate pricing for any scope.

✓

Fully Licensed with Appliance-Specific Coverage

Every appliance move includes basic liability coverage at $0.60 per pound per item. Given the weight of most large appliances — a standard refrigerator is 200–400 pounds — this provides meaningful protection. Additional valuation is available for commercial-grade units.

QUESTIONS

Appliance Moving Questions Answered

Yes. We handle standalone single-appliance moves — a refrigerator from a third-floor walk-up, a washer to a basement, or a new stove from the store to your kitchen. Same equipment, same care, same crew quality as a full-home move.

Yes. We pick up from Lowe’s, Home Depot, or any retailer and deliver directly to your home. If you’re replacing an existing appliance, we can move the old unit to another location on the same trip.

Standalone appliance moves are typically billed hourly with a two-hour minimum. If appliances are part of a larger residential move, they’re included in your overall estimate. Request a quote for an exact number based on your specifics.

We disconnect and reconnect water supply hoses, drain lines, and electrical connections for standard appliances. Gas lines must be disconnected and reconnected by a licensed plumber or gas technician — we cannot handle gas connections for safety and regulatory reasons.

No. Refrigerators and freezers should always be transported upright. Laying them on their side can cause compressor oil to leak into the cooling lines, which can permanently damage the unit. Our crews always transport refrigerators upright on a heavy-duty appliance dolly.

Wait at least 4 hours after delivery before plugging the refrigerator back in. This allows the compressor oil to settle back into place after transport. If the unit was tilted at any point during the move, wait a full 24 hours.

How Much to Tip Movers

Frequently Asked Questions

View all

How much does it cost to move appliances in Boston?

The cost of appliance moving in Boston depends on factors like appliance size, distance, and level of service required. On average, prices range from:

Local appliance moves: $100 – $500 per appliance
Long-distance appliance moves: Varies based on distance, typically $300 – $1,500
Full-service appliance moving (packing, loading, transport, reassembly): $200 – $800

At Poseidon Moving, we offer transparent hourly and flat-rate pricing with no hidden fees to ensure you get the best value for your appliance move.

How do I prepare my appliances for moving?

Proper preparation ensures that your appliances stay in good condition during the move. Follow these steps:

Refrigerators & Freezers: Empty, clean, and defrost at least 24 hours before the move.
Washing Machines & Dishwashers: Drain all water, disconnect hoses, and secure doors.
Ovens & Stoves: Disconnect gas or electrical connections and remove any loose parts.
Microwaves & Small Appliances: Remove glass trays and pack separately in protective wrapping.

Our Boston appliance movers can also assist with proper preparation and packing to make your move stress-free.

Can I move my appliances myself, or should I hire professionals?

While it’s possible to move small appliances on your own, large appliances like refrigerators, washing machines, and ovens require specialized handling, tools, and expertise to avoid:

Injury from lifting heavy items incorrectly
Damage to the appliance or flooring
Improper reconnection that can lead to malfunctions

Hiring professional appliance movers in Boston ensures your appliances are moved safely and reassembled properly

Do I need a moving permit to transport large appliances in Boston?

If you’re using a moving truck in Boston, especially in neighborhoods with limited parking, you may need a City of Boston moving permit to reserve space. The permit costs $69 for two non-metered spaces, plus an additional $40 for metered spaces.

At Poseidon Moving, we assist with securing parking permits to avoid fines and ensure a smooth move.

Will movers reconnect my appliances after the move?

Yes! At Poseidon Moving, we don’t just transport your appliances—we also handle reassembly and placement. Our team ensures that:

Refrigerators are leveled and ready to use
Washers and dryers are properly connected and tested
Stoves and dishwashers are reinstalled securely

However, for gas appliances, we recommend hiring a licensed plumber or technician for proper reconnection.
