Learn how to move electronics safely with expert tips from Philadelphia's trusted movers. Step-by-step advice to protect your valuable tech during relocation.
Electronics are some of the most expensive — and fragile — items you own. From TVs and computers to gaming consoles and smart speakers, they need more than just a cardboard box to survive a move. At Pro Movers Philadelphia, we’ve helped hundreds of clients move their tech safely. This guide walks you through simple, proven steps to avoid damage and headaches.
Before you unplug anything, back it up. Whether it's your laptop or a gaming console, save your data. Use an external drive or cloud storage to ensure nothing is lost if something goes wrong during the move.
Take clear photos of how your electronics are connected. Trust us, this saves tons of time when you're setting things back up at the new place.
Dust and dirt can cause overheating or damage internal components. Use a dry microfiber cloth to gently wipe down all electronics before packing them.
Original packaging is ideal. If you don't have it, use thick anti-static bubble wrap, sturdy boxes, and foam inserts. Never let the device touch the sides of the box directly.
Use "FRAGILE" and "THIS SIDE UP" stickers. Also label each item so you can prioritize unpacking the most important devices first.
Keep electronics out of hot cars or damp areas. Store them in climate-controlled spaces during the move — it really makes a difference.
Unplug 24 hours in advance – especially for fridges, speakers, and smart hubs.
Remove batteries from remotes, cameras, and other devices.
Don’t stack heavy items on top of electronics in the moving vehicle.
