It’s crucial to pack your belongings safe when shifting. Your television requires special care when being packed because it is fragile. It needs to be carefully prepared and protected with the appropriate supplies, such as padding and cardboard to avoid damage.

 

 

Depending on the size and type, television sets may be costly. Because of this, preparing for your move requires learning how to pack and move a TV in a safe and efficient manner. Contrary to the majority of household objects, a TV cannot be thrown carelessly into a shifting truck in a conventional shifting box. 

 

It is important that you pack your TV properly for shifting in order to protect the screen from damage. This includes making sure you use the right packaging tape, materials, and techniques.

 

There are several things you can do to make sure the flatscreen TV gets to your new house intact and still works when you connect the cable there. Here are a few tips that will help you when shifting your television set to a new home.

 

1. Unmount your TV

 

Your TV needs to be taken down if it is wall-mounted. Normally, you would first separate the TV from the power socket and then remove the power cables from the wall. 

 

It’s a good idea to have assistance while taking down a huge TV. Even if the TV is not very heavy, it can be difficult to move a big TV by yourself.

 

If your TV is supported by a base, you should also remove the base so you can pack the TV more efficiently. Typically, a screwdriver is needed for this.

 

2. Disconnect all wires and cables

When getting your TV ready to be packed, you should unplug it and, if you can, remove the power wire. Then unplug the cords connecting any accessories, such as DVD players or streaming devices. 

• If you move your TV with cords still attached, this could result in damage to the cords or the TV’s cord attachment points.
• Labeling your wires and components before packing them is a good idea if you have a lot of them. Write what the cord is used for on a piece of tape that you wrap around the cord. This will make it simpler to assemble your TV after your move is complete.
• Put the cords in a different box or the box you are using to package up your other items, whichever is appropriate. If the cords are in the same box as the television, the screen could sustain damages.
• Cords should be wrapped. You should neatly wrap any cords that are attached to the TV and cannot be removed. The cables do not need to be wound all the way to the TV. The majority of the cord just has to be wrapped up so it can be contained and won’t present a hazard while you pack up the TV.

 

3. Clean Your Television

Before you pack up your television, take time to thoroughly clean it of all the dust and particles. You can use a clean piece of cloth. Not only will this keep it clean while you move the TV, but it will also prevent any remaining dust and dirt from scratching the screen as you move.

 

4. Put protective packaging around the TV

You will need to obtain protective packing for the flat-screen TV if it turns out that you don’t have the original TV box in order to prevent damage to it before, during, or after the relocation.

 

The screen is the most crucial component of the TV that needs to be safeguarded. You don’t want it to sustain any damage, like dents, dings, or scratches. Use packing paper, bubble wrap, or styrofoam sheets instead of the original box or shifting blankets if you don’t have them.

 

5. Obtain a Box That Is Big Enough for the TV

 

If the TV is a giant flat-screen, finding a shifting box big enough for it could be challenging. If you select a box that will fit the TV, make sure it has some room on all sides so you may wrap it in a blanket or piece of protective plastic before you put it in the box.

 

After putting the TV inside the box and wrapping it in the blanket, tape the box shut. To warn the movers to handle the box carefully, indicate that the box contains fragile items.

 

6. TV Installation In The Moving Truck

A long-distance move necessitates extensive planning and time investment. You cannot get up in the morning and drive off to your new house. Weeks pass while you pack everything, especially if you take your time and pack each item carefully.

 

You must make sure that the TV is loaded appropriately before loading the moving truck or your car.

 

When loading the TV onto the moving truck, keep the following things in mind:

• Put the TV between two robust, hefty objects e.g between a sofa and a mattress to increase stability.
• Secure the TV to the moving truck’s wall
• The TV should be fastened to the vehicle wall using bungee cords (one at the base and one at the top)
• Keep the cords away from the TV’s screen.
• Make sure the TV’s screen is towards the interior of the vehicle rather than the wall when mounting it against the truck’s wall.

 

7. Setting Up the TV in Your New Residence

 

Still, you must use caution when unpacking the TV in your new residence. After getting it out of the truck, you can’t just pull it off the box and put it in.

 

To prevent damage, have the movers place it upright when they bring it into your house.

 

As soon as you can, try to remove it from the box so that everyone will recognize it as the TV and nothing untoward will happen to it when you carry other boxes and furniture into the house.

 

When you get to your new house, remember to unpack your TV according to these tips:

• Never remove the TV from the box by yourself. To correctly balance it, ask for assistance.
• Don’t slide the TV out of the box and set it flat on the floor.
• Wait until the TV is at room temperature before plugging it in.
• Make sure that studs are used to secure the wall mount.
• If a TV stand is being used, make sure it is big enough to accommodate the TV without the base protruding from the edges.

 

8. Employ the Services of Shifting Companies

Delicate household items such as the TV require special handling. While you might not have the appropriate techniques to move your television, a professional shifting company could help you out. Shifting companies have the right tools and well-trained personnel to handle your television set regardless of the size.
