HOW TO SET UP YOUR NEW HOME AFTER MOVING IN
Wahoo! You have finally arrived at your new residence with all of your belongings! The most difficult portion of all the arduous planning, packing, and relocating has finally come to an end. But that doesn’t imply your work is done; you still have a lot to do to make your new abode “feel like home.” Ideally, you should have cleaned and readied your home before moving in; nevertheless, if you haven’t already, go through all the necessary to-do tasks and begin preparing.
Congratulations on finishing all of your preparations! You are eager to start settling down as soon as possible. Yes, we can imagine how overwhelming it may feel to stand in a house full of unopened boxes and with a long list of to-do tasks. Nevertheless, start managing and setting up your new home by following the below-given list by us.
Kingdom International Movers are one of the best international movers in Saudi Arabia. We hope the below list helps you set up your home quickly and easily.
Protect Your Home
When you acquire a property, the first thing that you should do is replace the locks and garage codes. At Kingdom International Movers, we recommend completing these security-related chores before moving in. You don’t want the previous owners to be able to enter your property.
The cost of changing locks varies depending on the amount of protection, the complexity of the lock, and whether you hire a professional locksmith to do the task or do it yourself. If your house has an alarm system, you will most likely have to pay to reconnect the service or find a new provider. Request instruction manuals and codes for any electronic equipment, such as house alarms and garage codes, and make changing the codes a priority on your to-do list.
If you are putting off replacing your locks, have a careful look around your property to see if you can uncover any concealed backup keys. Homeowners frequently hide them and then forget about them. They might be in the door frame or beneath huge boulders. Getting these spare keys can be beneficial to you. But any professional house shifting service in Riyadh will recommend that you change your entire locking system.
Locate The Circuit Box And Read The Emergency Shut-Off And Appliance Instructions
Even though your new house is not brand new, it is brand new to you! As a result, understanding how things operate is critical. When you acquire a house, one of the first things you should do is locate the emergency shut-offs and circuit-breaker boxes. Label the individual circuits if the box isn’t labeled so you know which ones correspond to which room or appliance. Finally, get all of the appliance manuals so you understand how everything works. Reputable moving companies in Saudi Arabia suggest that if manuals are not available physically, you may call an expert to give you a demo of how all the appliances work.
Create a file system for manuals and documents for your appliances and home systems so that you don’t have to race to find them if something goes wrong. If the previous owners did not leave manuals for some of your new home’s equipment, conduct a fast web search. Most businesses make their manuals available on their websites for convenient access, or as we explained above, you can call an expert from home. Renowned movers and packers in Riyadh like us always have handyman services.
Plan a Maintenance Schedule
Consider house maintenance as a marathon rather than a sprint. Instead of attempting to complete all maintenance work at once, think about what has to be done over time. This may involve changing air filters, cleaning gutters, pressure washing the exterior, and other tasks.
Make a home maintenance checklist that is appropriate for your family. Budget for these jobs, as well as unforeseen repairs, each year. The typical rule of thumb is to set aside 1% of the home’s purchase price for repairs each year. You may opt to pay professionals to do some of these duties, so include that in your budget as well. You can even do an annual maintenance contract with any maintenance company to do all these tasks. If you are new in the area and don’t know any such agency, you can always ask your home movers and packers in Riyadh for help.
Begin Unpacking As Soon As Possible
The sooner you unpack, the sooner you will be able to settle in and feel more at ease in your new surroundings. One room at a time is the tried-and-true strategy for unpacking your entire house. It is preferable to have one fully unpacked and organized room rather than three half-finished rooms. By using this method, you will not only decrease the stress of having to unpack everything at once, but you will also have the opportunity to organize each area to your preference. It’s like “killing two birds with one stone,” and it makes the unpacking process much more exciting and enjoyable. Professional packers and movers in Saudi Arabia follow this pattern to unpack quickly and easily.
Make Sure Your Utilities Are Connected
Nothing is worse than having to move into a new house without power or water. Even an internet connection! Typically, utilities were meant to be connected a few days before you moved in. But don’t worry if it slipped your mind amid the chaos of relocating! You can contact your utility companies right away and request that services begin as soon as possible. Your relocation services in Saudi Arabia may also be able to guide you into getting the right utilities from trustworthy providers.
