Summer is the most popular time to move in Miami—and for good reason. School’s out, leases are turning over, and the real estate market is buzzing. But with the benefits of summer relocation come unique challenges, especially the relentless Florida heat. At ABA Movers, we’ve helped hundreds of families and businesses move across South Florida, and we know exactly what it takes to make your summer move smooth, safe, and stress-free.
Why Summer Moves Make Sense
Moving during summer has its perks. Families can settle into their new homes before the school year begins, and the sunny weather reduces the chance of rain delays. Many people take time off during the summer, allowing for more flexible scheduling and less disruption to work routines. At ABA Movers, we see an uptick in availability for larger moving crews and specialized equipment, making summer the ideal season for more complex or long-distance relocations.
Packing the Smart Way
Efficient packing is critical in the Miami heat. High temperatures can damage electronics, candles, and certain types of furniture if not packed correctly. ABA Movers recommends using insulated or climate-resistant containers for sensitive items. Label boxes clearly so they’re placed correctly and unpacked quickly—especially essentials like fans, lightweight clothes, and cold beverages. When you work with ABA Movers, our team can assist with full-service packing to ensure everything is protected from both transit and the elements.
Tips to Beat the Heat
Start early. Miami’s summer temperatures rise quickly, so scheduling your move during early morning hours is the best way to stay ahead of the heat. Stay hydrated—keep water bottles handy for everyone involved in the move. Dress in breathable, light-colored clothing and wear sun protection. If you’re moving with pets or small children, arrange for them to stay in a cool, safe place away from the moving activity.
ABA Movers offers climate-controlled trucks and quick, efficient service to minimize the amount of time your belongings spend in the heat. We also bring cooling towels and hydration support for our crew during extended moves—so your items and your moving team stay safe.
Safety and Professional Help Matter
In addition to being uncomfortable, moving in the summer heat can be hazardous. The risk of heatstroke and physical strain is increased while lifting heavy furniture in the sun. Professional movers like ABA Movers are therefore prepared to operate safely in challenging circumstances. Our employees have all the lifting equipment, dollies, and expertise they need to finish the task fast and damage-free.
When you work with ABA Movers, you’re working with a company that handles your relocation with care and professionalism, not just a team. We take care of every detail so you don’t have to, whether it’s a local apartment move or a major office move.
