Required Tools

Essential Equipment

• Dolly or Hand Truck: To easily transport heavy appliances out of the home.
• Screwdriver Set: For disassembling appliances and removing any screws or fasteners.
• Wrench Set: To disconnect hoses and electrical connections securely.

Optional Equipment

• Moving Blankets: To protect appliances and walls from scratches and damage during removal.
• Straps or Tie-Downs: To secure appliances during transport to prevent shifting.

Rental vs Purchase

When to Rent

• One-Time Use: If you only need the equipment for a single appliance removal, renting is more cost-effective.
• Limited Storage: If you lack space to store equipment long-term, renting allows you to use what you need without cluttering your space.

When to Purchase

• Frequent Use: If you regularly remove appliances or plan to do so in the future, purchasing tools may save you money over time.
• Specialized Needs: If you require specific equipment that may not be readily available for rent, buying may be the better option.

Safety Equipment

• Gloves: To protect your hands from sharp edges and heavy lifting.
• Safety Glasses: To shield your eyes from debris when disassembling appliances.
• Steel-Toed Boots: To protect your feet from heavy items that may drop during the removal process.

Local Rental Options

• Home Depot Rentals: Offers dollies, moving blankets, and hand trucks.
• U-Haul: Provides a variety of moving equipment, including dollies and furniture pads.
• Local Hardware Store: Check with nearby hardware stores for appliance removal tools like hand trucks and straps.
