Essential Equipment

• Dolly: A wheeled cart that helps in moving heavy appliances with ease.

Rental vs Purchase

When to Rent

• One-time Use: If you only need the equipment for a single appliance removal, renting is cost-effective.
• Limited Storage: Renting can save space in your garage or home, especially if you don’t have room for large equipment.

When to Purchase

• Frequent Use: If you regularly remove appliances or plan to do so in the future, buying equipment makes sense.
• Specific Needs: If you require specialized tools frequently, owning them can save time and effort.

Safety Equipment

• Safety Gloves: Protect your hands from sharp edges and heavy lifting.
• Steel-toed Boots: Offer protection for your feet against heavy appliances dropping.
• Safety Goggles: Protect your eyes from debris or dust during the removal process.
