Rawalpindi to Karachi house shifting – best time to shift in Karachi
Timing also changes the price and ease of Rawalpindi to Karachi house shifting. Month-end and the first days of the month are the busiest because most rental agreements change then. Mid-month and mid-week dates are easier to book.
In summer, start early in the morning to avoid the afternoon heat; in the monsoon keep a little extra time and make sure the vehicle is fully covered. The sea breeze in Karachi makes winter and early mornings the most comfortable time to move, and heavy traffic on Shahrah-e-Faisal and University Road is best avoided at rush hour.
During Ramadan we plan the work in the morning so the team finishes before iftar, and before Eid it is best to book a week ahead.
Getting appliances ready for shifting
Appliances need some preparation before Rawalpindi to Karachi house shifting can move them safely. Defrost and dry the fridge and freezer a day before, and keep the doors slightly open so they do not smell. After the move, let the fridge stand for a few hours before switching it on.
Drain the washing machine and lock its drum if it has transit bolts. Gas cookers and geysers should be disconnected by a technician.
Split ACs need a technician to pump down the gas before removing the indoor and outdoor units – our AC team does this and installs them again at the new home.
