Getting an appliance out of the room can be harder than fitting it into the truck. Milvus plans around the machine’s dimensions, weight and route through both buildings. Request help with one appliance, a laundry pair or appliances in a larger household move.
Your estimate depends on the items, access and services you need.
Prefer to talk? 857-895-8955The word appliance covers very different jobs. A freestanding refrigerator, a stacked laundry unit and a built-in dishwasher need different preparation. Tell us which pieces are moving and whether they are already free of cabinets, brackets and utility connections.
Include the model, overall dimensions and any doors, drawers or handles that affect clearance. Empty the contents and plan cleaning, defrosting and drying according to the manufacturer’s instructions. An ice-maker connection belongs in the preparation discussion.
Identify front-load, top-load, stacked or separate machines, and note any pedestals. Tell us whether the equipment is in a basement, an upstairs closet or a laundry room with a level exit. Have the model’s transport instructions and required parts available.
Send details for cooking appliances, wine refrigerators and other heavy equipment. Built-in units may need a technician or installer to release them before moving. Describe the installation rather than assuming the crew can simply roll the appliance out.
Check the narrowest point between the appliance and the truck. The route may include a hall corner, door closer, basement landing, porch step or elevator entrance. A doorway measurement alone does not show whether a tall machine can turn through the next space.
Photographs from both ends of a tight passage help explain the layout. Show the stair run and landing together, and include railings or other fixed obstacles. For an elevator building, send the building’s move instructions and the usable dimensions supplied by management.
At the receiving address, identify the final room before the delivery is arranged. An appliance can fit through the front door but still fail to fit its alcove. Check the destination dimensions and the manufacturer’s installation clearances before committing to a particular unit.
Keep the physical relocation distinct from work on gas, water, electrical wiring, cabinetry or ventilation. Explain what is connected now and who will have it ready. The quote should say which preparation, handling and placement services Milvus will provide.
| Part of the job | What to arrange |
|---|---|
| Model-specific preparation | Locate the owner’s manual. Follow its moving instructions, including any required transport hardware and storage or restart guidance. |
| Utility connections | Arrange appropriate qualified help for disconnection and reconnection. Give that appointment enough time before pickup and after delivery. |
| Built-in or stacked equipment | Confirm who releases brackets, cabinets, stacking hardware or other attachments and who reinstalls them. |
| Moving access | Share floors, stairs, elevator details, parking and the distance between the truck and the appliance. |
| Protection and placement | Agree on the handling plan, protection for the item and property, and the room or prepared space where the appliance will be left. |
You do not need a polished inventory document. A few accurate details and clear photographs are more useful than a general description such as large fridge.
Include a photo of the model label where it is accessible without moving or opening unsafe parts of the machine.
List the appliances, their dimensions and any separate stands, shelves, drawers or accessories that must travel.
Include the pickup and delivery floors, elevator availability, outdoor steps and parking arrangement.
Describe existing marks, loose parts or other concerns that should be noted before handling.
Say what is still connected or built in, what has already been arranged and whether the required transport parts are available.
Give the preferred move date and identify who can open the property and confirm placement at delivery.
Crew and equipment needs, access, travel and the number of appliances all affect the estimate. A move between two ground-floor rooms is a different job from collecting a machine in a basement and delivering it upstairs. A narrow landing can matter more than a short driving distance.
Milvus publishes local moving rates from $110 per hour for two movers and a truck in the Discount date category. That general starting rate is not a fixed appliance-moving price. Confirm the appropriate crew, date category, minimum billable time, travel charges, preparation and any specialty handling in your estimate.
If an appliance is travelling with the rest of your home, include it in the household inventory from the start. Adding it after the crew and truck have been planned can change the work. For a single-item request, ask for the full quoted scope rather than comparing the hourly figure alone.
Clear the route, protect anything you are leaving nearby and make the destination room accessible. Confirm that the old appliance has been dealt with if a new one is taking its place. Removal for disposal, recycling and delivery are different requests; discuss any extra handling before scheduling.
Keep the owner’s manual and essential parts with the person receiving the appliance. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for positioning and restarting it after transport. Arrange installation with the appropriate professional where needed; arrival at the property does not by itself mean the appliance is ready to use.
Have a different situation? Call 857-895-8955 and talk it through with Milvus.
Contact Milvus with the model, pickup and delivery addresses, floors and photographs of the access. A single-appliance request can be assessed on its own; the crew, handling method, availability and price are confirmed for that job.
Describe the existing installation when requesting the quote. Arrange appropriate qualified help for utility work and confirm what must be completed before the moving crew arrives. Do not assume installation or utility work is included in appliance transport.
Check the instructions for the exact model and contact the manufacturer or an appropriate service provider about required replacement parts. Tell Milvus before scheduling. Hardware from a different machine should not be assumed suitable.
Access must be assessed for the appliance and building. Send dimensions and photographs showing the whole route, including landings and outside steps. Confirm feasibility, crew needs and any access-related charges before booking.
Tell us if you need an additional unit moved, returned or removed. Disposal and recycling should not be assumed part of the delivery request. Agree on the destination and handling of every item in advance.
Use the manufacturer’s instructions for the exact model and the way it was transported. There is no single restart time that this page can safely apply to every refrigerator. Keep those instructions available for the receiving person.
Send the model and access details. We’ll help define the moving work before a crew is scheduled.
