Items Movers Won’t Install or Hook Up During Your Move
Hiring professional movers is one of the more effective ways to relocate your home or business. However, it’s important for you to know what a mover’s job includes and what it doesn’t. Let’s take a look at moving day responsibilities by noting this list of common items movers won’t install or hook up.
Electrical and Complex Installs
Remember, a mover’s job is to literally move your possessions. Therefore, a mover should not be expected to install or even connect any gas or water-line appliances. Unless otherwise stated, movers will also not hardwire or connect any electrical items such as light fixtures, ceiling fans, wall-mounted TVs, EV chargers or any device that requires changes to a breaker or junction box.
If a mover won’t hook up appliances, then it’s safe to expect that he or she will also not be dealing with any HVAC or ventilation issues. If you have window units that need bracing, mini-splits, whole-house HVAC components, dryer vent work or any ductwork modifications that need attention, you will need to contact professionals that deal with those specific items.
As for non-electrical concerns, movers also don’t dig in too deep when it comes to heavier components. As an example, if you have bookcases or shelving that need to be bolted to wall studs, you should not expect movers to do this. In fact, when it comes to anchoring most anything to a wall, such as a Murphy bed, large mirrors or headboards, you should expect this to be outside the scope of your move.
Your Mover Is Not Your Plumber
Plumbing fixtures are next up on our list of what movers won’t install. Toilets? Bidets? Sinks? Garbage disposals? If a line has to be plumbed in or out, you should call a plumber in order to make that happen.
You’ve likely noted that most of what movers won’t install or hook up is centered around items that call for licensed specialists such as plumbers and electricians. You will definitely want the right person to complete the job. For example, you likely wouldn’t hire Doug the IT guy to work on your transmission unless, of course, Doug just happens to be a transmission nerd. The point here is when you need a job done right, the best choice is to seek out a specialist instead of relying on convenience.
