These appliances take special care to move properly, and even more care must be taken when that appliance is a stove or oven\u2013large and heavy cooking appliances still have delicate parts that can break easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luckily, there are plenty of ways to be sure your appliance gets from point A to point B with a minimum of fuss, from making a pre-move checklist to using the right equipment to keeping your appliance in a self-storage unit while you sort out your space. In this article, we\u2019ll go over some of the steps we recommend you take when deciding how to move an oven or stove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"why-might-i-need-to-move-a-stove\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-might-i-need-to-move-a-stove\">Why might I need to move a stove?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s a list of reasons you should consider <a href=\"https:\/\/www.storage.com\/blog\/how-do-you-store-appliances\/\">moving and storing kitchen appliances.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list ul1\">\n<li class=\"\u201dli3\u201d\"><strong>Moving to a new home.<\/strong> If you own your appliances and your new home isn\u2019t furnished, you probably want to bring your stove with you.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Renovating or remodeling your kitchen.<\/strong> Large appliances such as stoves need to be out of the way <a href=\"https:\/\/www.storage.com\/blog\/self-storage-and-home-renovations\/\">while you\u2019re painting, wallpapering, or putting new cabinets in a kitchen space.<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Downsizing or eliminating what you don\u2019t need.<\/strong> If you aren\u2019t using a large appliance, it\u2019s helpful to put it into storage to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.storage.com\/blog\/the-complete-guide-to-downsizing\/\">save space or declutter your kitchen.<\/a> This also goes for appliances you may be keeping in a garage or attic.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Estate management.<\/strong> Inherited property can include appliances that you can put into storage to save space.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Managing seasonal property.<\/strong> If you own a rental property such as a beach house, disconnecting and putting large appliances in storage units during the off season will help them last much longer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Upgrading appliances.<\/strong> Placing an older stove in storage once you\u2019ve replaced it with a newer model preserves its quality while you look for a place to sell or recycle it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Rental property transitions.<\/strong> Whether you need to access the space to clean it or you\u2019re replacing the unit entirely, there are plenty of reasons to store an oven while preparing for a new tenant to move into your rental property.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Relocating a commercial oven.<\/strong> In the case of a business or restaurant owner, moving from one location to another often means bringing equipment along with you, especially ovens for large-scale cooking tasks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Insurance claims and restoration.<\/strong> You should store a damaged stove or oven while making an insurance claim to ensure the value is properly preserved. It\u2019s also easier to restore a damaged oven while it\u2019s not located in your kitchen.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Extended vacation or travel arrangements.<\/strong> You should disconnect your oven (especially a gas oven) while you\u2019re away from home for a while, even more so to put it in a storage unit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Different scenarios will require different lengths of storage time. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.storage.com\/blog\/diy-home-organization-kitchen-hacks\/\">kitchen organization<\/a> or restoration project may take just a few days, while storing an oven you\u2019ve received from an inheritance may require months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"what-should-i-do-before-i-move-a-stove\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What should I do before I move a stove?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before renting equipment and units, put together a checklist of tasks to plan out how to move an oven. Here are a few categories worth considering when making this checklist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Make sure you have everything you need<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Write down each of the pieces of the oven or stove you\u2019ll be moving, whether large or small\u2013you may have to partially disassemble the appliance before you move it and you won\u2019t want to lose any important parts. You should also take stock of the tools and supplies you\u2019ll need for reassembly and moving heavy objects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gather any related manuals, warranties, and other documentation for the appliance you\u2019re moving, and take photos of the appliance to make sure it arrives at its destination without damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Plan for time and space requirements<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Measure your appliance\u2019s height, weight, and depth so you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.storage.com\/blog\/how-to-store-a-washing-machine-and-dryer\/\">select a vehicle and a storage unit that will have enough space for it<\/a>. Be sure to have a solid idea of when you\u2019re planning to move your appliance so you can make transportation arrangements in advance, and consider whether it\u2019s worth hiring outside help for kitchen appliance storage.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"relative flex gap-4 mt-10 mb-[56px] lg:mb-[64px] pt-6 px-6 pb-8 shadow-note rounded-[3px] overflow-hidden before:absolute before:top-0 before:left-0 before:block before:w-full before:h-2 before:bg-gradient-to-r before:from-blue before:to-light-blue\">\r\n  <svg class=\"w-8 h-[37px] flex-shrink-0\"><use href=\"#icon-arrow-left\"><\/use><\/svg>\r\n  <div class=\"\">\r\n    <h4 class=\"p--large capitalize font-bold !mt-2\">Self Storage Tip: Make sure you have the right unit size<\/h4>\r\n    <p class=\"p--large !mt-2\">Different storage unit sizes are built for different space needs, and large appliances like ovens can take up a large amount of that space. Factor the measurements in when you\u2019re choosing the right size self storage unit for your needs.<\/p>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div> \n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Clean your appliance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Give your appliance a deep interior and exterior clean while it\u2019s disconnected from the wall to be sure no grime or bacteria will cause it to rust or oxidize. Making sure there aren\u2019t any stains or spots before storing your oven means it will last longer and won\u2019t sustain damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Give gas stoves special care<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Gas stoves need to be disconnected from their gas lines and handled with extra care so as not to release any flammable gas into the air. Heating elements in gas stoves and ovens can also be fragile, and it\u2019s important to clean under any raised elements or grilles before moving the unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"the-best-way-to-move-your-stove-or-oven\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The best way to move your stove or oven<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve taken care of everything on your checklist, there are still plenty of important considerations when moving day comes around. Here are a few tips on how to move an oven with care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use the right equipment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you have a dolly that can handle the weight and mass of your oven before trying to move it, and use proper straps and harnesses when you need to lift it. Having furniture sliders or moving blankets on hand will take much of the stress out of moving the appliance over floors, and considering the oven\u2019s dimensions before choosing a vehicle will help you choose a ramp that can handle its weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use safe moving techniques<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Moving heavy appliances on your own is never a good idea, so have friends or family members on hand to help you lift. Research proper lifting posture (such as lifting with your legs and not your back), and distribute weight evenly between yourself and your lifting partners. Clear pathways before you move, and be prepared to pivot around hallways and stairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Secure the appliance properly during moving<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the oven is actually in the moving vehicle, secure it with straps in a corner position where it won\u2019t slide around or damage other items in the space. Be extra careful if you\u2019re moving during wet or icy weather, as taking corners too fast can put stress on the items in your vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"relative flex gap-4 mt-10 mb-[56px] lg:mb-[64px] pt-6 px-6 pb-8 shadow-note rounded-[3px] overflow-hidden before:absolute before:top-0 before:left-0 before:block before:w-full before:h-2 before:bg-gradient-to-r before:from-blue before:to-light-blue\">\r\n  <svg class=\"w-8 h-[37px] flex-shrink-0\"><use href=\"#icon-arrow-left\"><\/use><\/svg>\r\n  <div class=\"\">\r\n    <h4 class=\"p--large capitalize font-bold !mt-2\">Self Storage Tip: Look into what help your facility can offer<\/h4>\r\n    <p class=\"p--large !mt-2\">Some storage facilities offer equipment rentals to make the moving process easier, and some even offer staff assistance to help you get your belongings packed and stored as quickly as possible\u2013so be sure to research how they can help.\r\n<\/p>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div> \n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Should I hire professional moving services?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you aren\u2019t confident in your ability to move your oven yourself, it\u2019s worth looking into hiring movers to take care of it for you. However, keep in mind that some large appliances require an upcharge, especially gas stoves, to cover the extra care taken while moving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How can I avoid damaging delicate parts of my oven?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If your oven has a glass door, wrap the unit in bubble wrap and fill the oven with packing material to minimize the likelihood of it breaking. You should also detach other moving parts, like heating elements and racks, and move them separately before reassembling at your destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"what-should-i-consider-when-storing-a-kitchen-appliance\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What should I consider when storing a kitchen appliance?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Moving an oven is one thing, but choosing the right storage unit to put your appliances into is another matter entirely. We at Storage.com are experts, here to help you learn the best strategies on how to store appliances and find the right storage unit near you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Before selecting storage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Use the measurements you\u2019ve taken, along with your estimate of what else you\u2019ll be storing, to select the right size storage unit for your needs. Be sure to have an idea of what else you\u2019ll be storing\u2013you shouldn\u2019t stack heavy items on top of your oven, or worse, store them inside it. It\u2019s best to store the oven upright in the position it would be in your house so any moving parts that are still attached don\u2019t slide around or fall out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take some time to consider whether or not to select a climate-controlled facility. In areas with extreme temperatures or humidity, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.storage.com\/blog\/storage-101-protecting-against-mildew-and-mold-in-self-storage\/\">climate controlled self storage can ensure your appliances are protected from the elements<\/a> in a predictable environment, and are often worth the extra investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, consider how secure the storage facility you select will be and whether or not to invest in insurance coverage for your appliance, both of which will help your peace of mind through the storage process. The location of the facility will also factor into your decision, whether you\u2019re planning on how often to visit your unit or just minimizing your moving distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I select the right size unit?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There is some room for error when selecting a storage unit size, but you can save lots of time and hassle by knowing what you need going in. Most appliances will fit in a 10 x 20 or 10 x 30 unit along with the entire contents of a multiple-bedroom house, but smaller units may fit your needs better if you\u2019re just storing the oven. Take a look at our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.storage.com\/self-storage-size-guide\/\">self storage size guide<\/a> for a breakdown of what different sizes are best for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">During storage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re storing an oven for a long time, check in on it from time to time to make sure it\u2019s clean and undamaged. Wipe down your oven whenever you check in on it, and check on the unit\u2019s ventilation and monitor any moisture so you can raise these concerns with facility management before they become a problem. Look for any potential pests or signs of rust\u2013a good storage facility will have precautions in place to keep these away.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"relative flex gap-4 mt-10 mb-[56px] lg:mb-[64px] pt-6 px-6 pb-8 shadow-note rounded-[3px] overflow-hidden before:absolute before:top-0 before:left-0 before:block before:w-full before:h-2 before:bg-gradient-to-r before:from-blue before:to-light-blue\">\r\n  <svg class=\"w-8 h-[37px] flex-shrink-0\"><use href=\"#icon-arrow-left\"><\/use><\/svg>\r\n  <div class=\"\">\r\n    <h4 class=\"p--large capitalize font-bold !mt-2\">Self Storage Tip: Select a unit with useful amenities<\/h4>\r\n    <p class=\"p--large !mt-2\">Investing in a self storage unit with climate control will help prevent temperature and humidity damage, and selecting a facility with robust security will improve peace of mind and protect your oven from damage and theft. Selecting a 24-hour facility also allows you to access the unit at any time, making it easier to plan maintenance visits.<\/p>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div> \n\n\n<h2 id=\"find-heavy-appliance-and-oven-storage-with-storage-com\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Find Heavy Appliance and Oven Storage with Storage.com<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are plenty of variables to contend with when figuring out how to move and store an oven or stove.
