Television Relocation: Why is Expert Assistance Necessary?
Televisions are one of the most fragile electronic devices in modern homes and offices. Damage to a TV during a move is not only a financial loss but also a problem that negatively impacts the entire moving process. Many people moving house or office in Ankara have encountered scratches on the screen, malfunctions in the internal circuitry, or complete damage after carelessly packing and transporting their TVs.
Exp Click to Move With the experience we've gained from hundreds of TV moves, we've prepared this guide. Professional packing, the right moving techniques, and secure storage are key to ensuring your TV arrives safely at your new home or office.
Steps to Prepare Your TV Before Moving
1. Turn off the TV and let it cool down.
Turn off your television at least 2-3 hours before beginning the transport process. When electronic devices are transported while heated, their internal circuitry becomes more susceptible to sudden cooling and mechanical shock. Cooling time may vary depending on the type of TV (LED, QLED, OLED); however, leaving it at room temperature is sufficient.
2. Photograph and Label All Cables
Before moving the HDMI, power cable, satellite receiver, and audio system connections Take a photo with your smartphoneNumber each cable by writing on an adhesive label or using colored tape. This simple step will save you hours during the installation in your new home.
3. Remove and wrap all cables.
Make sure the power cord is unplugged from the electrical outlet. Unplug all the cords one by one and wrap them in wax paper to prevent them from shifting, or use plastic cord organizers. Store the cords in a separate bag inside the TV box—so they don't get bumped or pinched during transport.
Professional Television Packaging Techniques
Using the original box.
If possible, keep the TV's original box and foam padding. The original packaging is designed to fit the TV precisely and provides the best protection. If you don't have the original box:
- Extra large cardboard box (Minimum 10 cm clearance on all sides from the TV)
- bubble wrap (The front of the screen must be wrapped at least 3 times)
- Corner protectors (The four corners of the TV should be protected with a material that does not cause color fading)
- Kraft paper (internal filling and visual protection)
- Straight strip (to prevent the box from opening during transport)
Step-by-Step Packaging Process
1. Screen Protector: Wrap the screen in a soft fabric (e.g., blanket, bedspread). Bubble wrap, when in direct contact with hard screen materials, can leave scratches under prolonged pressure.
2. Secure the Corners: Install angled cardboard corner guards on all four corners of the TV. Especially in narrow, multi-story buildings like Ankara, bumping into corners while going up and down stairs or through elevators is a common occurrence.
3. Bubble Wrap Wrapping: Wrap bubble wrap around the soft surface in rings, being careful not to damage the screen. There should be at least three layers. Secure the open corners with tape.
4. Place it in the box: Place 5-10 cm thick kraft paper or polystyrene foam at the base of the box. Place the TV (vertically, screen facing forward) in the center. Place padding of the same thickness around the edges.
5. Fill in the Gaps: Fill all the gaps around the TV with kraft paper, polystyrene sheets, or newspaper in a way that prevents objects from moving.
6. Close the top of the box: Before closing the top lid, place the cables in a separate thin bag inside the box. Then wrap the top 2-3 times with strong customs sealant. “FOLDABLE ASSISTANT”

TV Safety During Transport

Temperature and Humidity Control
Electronic devices are generally safe to store at temperatures between -10°C and +50°C; however, sudden temperature changes (e.g., moving from an outdoor location to a heated home in winter) can damage their internal circuitry. When transporting a TV, especially in winter, allow the box to rest for 1-2 hours.

Referencing your photos, connect all cables except the power cord first (HDMI, satellite, audio). Finally, plug the power cord into the electrical outlet. The device should be powered from a controlled branch power supply to reduce the risk of sudden electric shock.
