MOVING IN THE WINTER CAN SAVE YOU MONEY

 

Winter may not seem like the best time of year to consider moving, but if you do proper planning it can save you lots of money. If you can move in the winter you can avoid peak season pricing and take advantage of lower rates.

 

Here are some winter moving tips:

 

• Proper clothing – dress warmly on moving day. Try as you might, doors will be open and you will be making trips in and out.

 

• Be sure you clear a path for the movers, it is required for their safety and it helps keep some of the snow and ice out of the house.

 

• Keep utilities on – it is tempting to have the utilities turned off in advance of the move, but you will need the heat, especially if you end up spending and extra night in the house. Be sure the utilities are turned on at your new home in advance of move in day so will be able to go into a nice warm home.

 

• Have plenty of hot liquids on hand on moving day, hot coffee, tea, soups not only keep you warm they help to hydrate you in the cold.

 

• Service your car, be sure your car has enough antifreeze and windshield washer fluid.

 

• Be flexible – have a back-up plan. If the weather holds you up or delays your move,  schedule.

So bundle up and take advantage of St Louis, Missouri and O'Fallon, Illinois movers winter pricing – you will be “snooow” happy you did.
