Boston Appliance Movers

Appliance Movers in Boston

Moving large appliances requires careful handling, proper equipment, and expert knowledge to avoid damage to the unit, your home, and your crew. At Poseidon Moving, our Boston appliance movers are specially trained to transport refrigerators, washers, dryers, ovens, dishwashers, and other heavy household appliances — whether you’re moving locally across Boston or long distance out of state.

As one of the most trusted appliance moving companies in Boston, we handle everything from full-home appliance relocations to standalone single-item moves and store pickups from retailers like Lowe’s and Home Depot. We use heavy-duty appliance dollies, lifting straps, ramps, and protective wrapping to secure your appliances for transport — and we place every unit exactly where you want it. Affordable hourly and flat-rate pricing available.

Appliances We Move

Each appliance has unique components, risks, and handling requirements. Our crew knows the right approach for every type:

✔  Refrigerators and freezers — always transported upright

✔  Washers and dryers — drum secured, hoses drained

✔  Dishwashers — water supply disconnected, interior drained

✔  Ovens, stoves, and ranges — racks removed, gas lines capped

✔  Wine coolers and mini fridges

✔  Standalone freezers

✔  Commercial kitchen equipment

✔  Standalone or single-appliance moves

✔  Store pickup and delivery — we pick up from Lowe’s, Home Depot, or any retailer and deliver directly to your home

Appliances are some of the heaviest and most awkward items in any home. Improper handling can damage the unit, your floors, and your doorframes.

Our crew uses the right equipment and techniques to get every appliance out safely and into its new spot ready for use.

Here’s what to do for each major appliance before moving day:

How to Prepare Your Appliances for Moving Day

✔  Refrigerator: Unplug 24 hours ahead. Empty all food, remove shelves and drawers, clean interior, and leave doors open to dry. Always transported upright.

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

✔  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.

✔  Oven/Stove (electric): Unplug. Remove racks and grates. Clean interior to prevent odors during transport.

✔  Oven/Stove (gas): Have a licensed professional disconnect the gas line before moving day. Remove racks and grates.
