Moving Appliances

Appliances can move with the rest of your household, but there are a few things that need to happen before the crew arrives. Here's exactly what's on you, and what's on us.

What Frontier Handles

We do the heavy lifting -- literally. Our crew safely moves your appliances out of your current home, transports them, and sets them in place at your new address.

What's Your Responsibility Beforehand

Appliances need to be serviced and cleaned before moving day. That means disconnecting them from water, electric, and natural or propane gas lines, and having them fully prepped to withstand transport -- on a hand truck, in the truck, and however long they sit before being reconnected at the new place.

What Frontier Does
  • Safely loads, transports and unloads appliances
  • Places them in the correct room at your new home
What Frontier Does Not Do
  • Disconnect or reconnect appliances (washers, dryers, ice makers, etc.)
  • Disconnect or reconnect utilities -- water, gas or electric
  • Repair appliances
  • Remove or install ceiling fans, A/C units, evaporative coolers or antennas
  • Plumbing, electrical work, or other fixed-installation tasks

Before the Crew Arrives

A little prep goes a long way toward moving day going smoothly:

  • Have a qualified third-party service disconnect gas, water and electric connections before moving day, and reconnect them at your new home
  • Clean the exterior of each appliance
  • Clean the interior thoroughly, especially ovens and ranges
  • Fully empty and dry refrigerators and freezers -- no leftover water or ice
  • Remove built-up grease, dust or food residue
Servicing is a separate job from moving"Servicing" means bracing the tub on a washer or dryer, capping gas and water lines, and disconnecting ice makers or satellite connections -- this is different from the physical move itself, and it's not something our crew performs. If you're not sure how to prep a specific appliance, your owner's manual or the manufacturer's website is usually the fastest way to check.

If a washer or other appliance is still connected when the crew arrives, they can disconnect water and electric lines only after you sign a release accepting responsibility for leaks or damage. Frontier never disconnects gas lines and does not reconnect appliances.

Handling a refrigerator yourself instead? Moving a refrigerator in a pickup truck has its own set of considerations.
