When the time comes to book a moving date with movers in Etobicoke, ON, you’ll have some decisions to make. Should you, for example, take your appliances with you or should you leave them behind and replace them with new appliances at your new home? If you don’t have the resources to replace your appliances, then it’ll make more sense to take your appliances with you. But if you are on the fence as to what to do, here are some things to consider.

Can You Take Them?

If one of the conditions on the sale of your home is that the appliances be included, then the matter is pretty much out of your hands. You will have to leave them there. Unless your new home has appliances included, you’ll need to get new ones.

Condition of Your Old Appliances

Are the appliances at your current home in so-so condition? You might consider replacing them, especially if they’re near or at the end of their expected lifespan. Also consider that newer appliances will be much more energy efficient than appliances that you’ve perhaps had for between 10 years and 15 years. It might make sense to spare yourself the hassle of moving appliances that will either need to be replaced right away or in short order.

Are They the Right Size?

Is your old fridge or freezer too big for your new home? In such a case, you may want to leave them behind rather than take them with you – all the while knowing that it won’t really be useable to you at your new home. Save yourself the hassle. Before moving, take a measuring tape and measure the spaces you have to work with at your new home, measure the appliances at your current home, and then leave behind anything that won’t fit the allotted spaces in your new home.

Do They Fit in with the Style?

If you want an all-stainless-steel look for your kitchen, you may not be interested in bringing a dishwasher or a fridge that is not made of stainless steel. In such cases, the ideal option would be to buy new appliances that fit the style you’re looking to incorporate into your new home.

We’ll leave it up to you to decide whether to bring your appliances or to leave them behind and replace them with new ones at your new home. Lots of factors will need to be considered before you decide what works best for you and your family.
