It is never easy to move to a new home. It is overwhelming as well as exciting, and one of the steepest challenges that you face is packing your electrical appliances, more so the bulkier ones. Take, for instance, your split AC units. The system comprises two units – the outdoor and the indoor units, and none of the two are ‘pocket sized’.
So when it comes to packing them, you have your task cut out. And then, you need to pack them safely to ensure they are not damaged. So the safest and wisest step for you is to hire one of those local removal companies of your location who have the expertise of packing electrical appliances in a safe and secure way. On this page, we shall discuss how the professionals would pack the AC units during house removals in Ealing, like anywhere else.
- Knowing the outdoor and the indoor units
Split AC systems comprise two major components – the outdoor unit containing the compressor coil, the cooling fan and the compressor itself, and the indoor unit, which contains the evaporator coil, the blower, and range of other crucial components. All these spare parts are highly intricate and fragile. Thus, proper packing is an absolute imperative to keep any potential damage during the transit at bay. That’s the reason, it is so very important to summon professionals for packing these two components. These professionals will use all their experience and expertise, and the right techniques and materials to pack them,
- Collating the right tools and materials
Highly qualified local removal companies in Islington, as anywhere else will understand, by their sheer experience, the significance of using the appropriate materials when it comes to packing the split AC units. The professionals, thus, will use the sturdiest cardboard boxes, the best bubble wrap, packing papers, and the movers’ adhesive tapes. All these materials collectively form a cushioning layer that protects the units from hits and blows and excessive jerking during the move.
- Disassembling the units with care and perfection
However, before packing the units, they have one major task to carry out, which they do with utmost care and perfection – disassembling the units! The professionals will use all their experience, expertise, and knowledge to disassemble the units with precision and perfection. The process may involve removing the unit from the wall, disconnecting the refrigerant connections, and removing the detachable parts, if any, depending on the make and model. They will then label each and every part carefully.
This helps in easy reassembly of the parts upon arrival at the new location. Proper disassembly not only makes the packing easier and less tiresome, but it also protects the units from any risk of damage whatsoever. That’s because the carriers will know the contents of the box simply by going through the label and will handle the box accordingly. They follow up labelling of the spare parts with proper documentation. Documentation will help in maintaining a proper inventory list having a detailed description. It will make the unpacking and reassembly more efficient and faster.
- Securing every component
Professionals from the best removal companies in Wimbledon, like elsewhere, will take distinctive approaches while securing the indoor and the outdoor units. They will wrap the indoor unit with multiple layers of bubble wrap to safeguard the delicate coils, fins, the electronic components, and the like. They will, on the other hand, clean up the outdoor unit and cover it up with a weather-proof cover to protect it from all the dust and dirt, and the heat and rain, snow or hail while in transit.
They will ensure proper cushioning and fill in the gaps to resist rocking of the components inside the box during the transit, thereby reducing the likelihood of damage.
So you must call GT Removals if you are in and around London, to have a safe and seamless house removal.
