How To Move Old Appliances Into Your New Home
Moving existing appliances into your new property can be a logistical nightmare, requiring careful planning and consideration. Some of the challenges you could face that you may not have thought of include: will they fit through doorways? Are my appliances going to be transported safely? How do I properly reinstall them in my new home?
Measure Doorways & Hallways
Before moving any old appliances into your new home, measure doorways and hallways to ensure they can accommodate larger appliances. This includes tight corners, stairways, and awkward spaces.
Measure Your Existing Appliances
Take accurate measurements of your appliances to ensure they’ll fit into your new home, taking into account the before-mentioned doorways, hallways, and stairs.
Check Appliance Installation Guides
Review installation requirements for each of your current appliances, including electrical outlets, connections, and ventilation needs.
Confirm Space in Your New Home
Double-check that your new home has sufficient space for your appliances. If certain items don’t fit or match your new space, consider recycling or upgrading them, such as with the Samsung Trade Up program.
Book a Moving Van or Extra Help
Transporting heavy appliances can be tricky and requires additional planning. This highlights the importance of booking moving vans or professional movers to assist with the process and ensure your appliances are delivered safely.
How To Prepare Your New Home For New Appliances
Failing to prepare for your move can make the entire process a lot more complicated. Proper planning can save time, prevent issues during appliance installation, and help create a functional, efficient, and comfortable living environment.
Check the Measurements of Your New Appliances
Before purchasing new appliances, confirm all dimensions and compare them with the space available in your new home to ensure everything will fit comfortably.
Check the Space Where Your New Appliances Will Go
Measure the area of your new home where appliances will be installed to ensure there’s enough room for ventilation and proper accessibility.
Check Delivery Times to Align With Your Move-In Day
Coordinate delivery times with your move-in date and remove the need to transport them from your old home.
Ensure Your Delivery Address is Correct
Double-check your delivery details to prevent confusion or further delays.
Check Installation Guides for New Appliances
Review the manufacturer's installation guidelines to ensure your new appliances are set up safely.
Check You Have the Right Connections
Verify whether your new home has the necessary outlets, supply lines, and other required connections for your new appliances.
Sync & Connect With Smart Home Systems
When buying new appliances, they’re likely to have some form of connectivity. Use apps like SmartThings to control and monitor your new appliances.
How They Work In The New Home
Moving into a new home provides the ideal opportunity to create a connected hub where all your devices and home appliances are seamlessly connected and work together effortlessly. From the moment you unpack your belongings into your new home, syncing your appliances, TVs, and mobile devices can be done in a few simple steps. Whether you need to configure your washing machine, link your soundbar, or adjust your thermostat, it has never been easier than with the SmartThings connected ecosystem.
Create a home that works for you and allows you to live as efficiently as possible. Once your devices are connected, you will have a centralised hub to control your appliances, monitor performance, and live a lifestyle tailored to your needs. This streamlined approach not only saves you time during your house move but also ensures your new home is equipped to support you and anyone else in the household.
How To Prepare Your New Home For New Appliances
When preparing for your move, you should take this as the perfect time to reassess your home’s current setup and appliances to decide what to keep, upgrade, or dispose of. Recycling programs, such as Samsung’s Recycling Service, allow you to dispose of old appliances responsibly, ensuring they don’t end up in landfills.
Alternatively, if you’re upgrading your existing appliances, you can use Samsung’s Trade Up Program, which allows you to exchange outdated appliances for credit toward purchasing new devices.
No matter which appliances you’re replacing, whether it's fridges, washing machines, or TVs, trading old appliances is a convenient way to start with a blank canvas and modernise your home. Both options remove stress from your moving process and streamline the experience for you, giving you one less thing to worry about when you’ve already got so much to cover.
Stay On Top Of Bills & Mortgage Payments With Samsung Apps
Samsung smartphones and tablets offer apps and features to help you manage finances during your move. Use calendar and reminder apps to set alerts for mortgage payments, or explore SmartThings to monitor household energy usage and stay on top of utility bills.
Set Bill Payment Reminders
Use the Samsung Calendar App to set up recurring reminders for bills and mortgage payments, which you can sync with your Galaxy smartphone or watch. Combine the calendar app with Samsung Notes and Calculator apps to create payment trackers and calculate monthly payments.
Monitor Energy Usage
Keep track of your energy usage and appliance consumption with the SmartThings app. Connect all your appliances and develop eco-friendly routines for a complete view of your home’s consumption.
Install Energy-Efficient Products
Samsung has a wide range of sustainable appliances with high energy ratings, enabling you to reduce overall energy consumption. Samsung Bespoke Washing Machines, Family Hub™ Smart Fridges, and Heat Pump Tumble Dryers all provide the perfect balance of performance and efficiency.
Confirm Space in Your New Home
Utilise finance and payments apps, like Samsung Pay and Samsung Wallet, to stay on top of your spending and manage your payments. Control your finances at the tap of a screen with your Galaxy smartphone or tablet.
Moving into a new home doesn’t have to be stressful. It’s a moment that should be celebrated and treasured as you embark on a new journey. Samsung’s appliances and connected ecosystem empower you to stay organised, reduce energy costs, and enjoy seamless integration across devices and categories.
