“Stay Cool, Texas! 7 Essential Tips for Moving in the Summer Heat”

Texas heat doesn’t mess around — and if you’ve got a move coming up, the triple-digit temps can feel downright brutal. At Simply Better Moving, we know how intense summer moves can get, which is why we’re sharing our top tips to help you beat the heat and keep your move smooth, safe, and (almost) sweat-free.

☀️ 1. Start Early (Like, Sunrise Early)

The earlier you start, the cooler it’ll be — and we’re all about avoiding the mid-day meltdown. Plan to load up first thing in the morning while the temps are still manageable.

🧊 2. Hydration Isn’t Optional

Water, water, and more water. Keep bottles chilled in a cooler and remind everyone (yes, even the helpers who say they’re “fine”) to drink up regularly. Bonus points for electrolyte drinks.

👕 3. Dress for the Weather

Lightweight, breathable fabrics are key. Avoid dark colors and heavy materials. And don’t forget hats and sunglasses — they go a long way in protecting you from that relentless Texas sun.

📦 4. Use Heat-Friendly Packing Techniques

Certain items — electronics, candles, toiletries — don’t mix well with heat. Keep sensitive stuff in climate-controlled areas or clearly label them so they’re the last on and first off the truck.

🧯 5. Give Your Pets and Plants a Break

If you’re moving with pets or plants, keep them out of the heat as much as possible. Set up a cool, shaded area for them until it's time to go — they’ll thank you later.

💨 6. Turn on Utilities Early

Make sure the A/C is running at your new place before you arrive. Walking into a hot, muggy house after hours of moving is not the welcome you deserve.

👊 7. Call the Pros Who Can Handle the Heat

Let’s be honest — moving in the heat isn’t for everyone. That’s where we come in. At Simply Better Moving, our experienced crew knows how to get the job done quickly, efficiently, and safely — no matter how hot it gets.
