Moving in the summer has its perks—longer days, school breaks, and a fresh start during peak real estate season. But in Indianapolis, summer also brings scorching temperatures, high humidity, and the kind of heat that makes even a short walk feel exhausting.
At Wheaton Moving & Storage, we understand the challenges of a hot-weather move. That’s why we’ve designed our process to help you stay cool, safe, and stress-free—no matter how high the thermostat climbs.
🥵 The Reality of Summer Moves in Indy
Summers in Indianapolis often bring:
- Temperatures in the 90s with humidity levels above 60%
- Heat index warnings from June through August
- Unpredictable storms that come with short notice and heavy downpours
When you’re hauling furniture, packing boxes, or coordinating logistics, heat stress is a real concern. That’s where Wheaton steps in.
🚛 How Wheaton Keeps Summer Moves Cool and Comfortable
✅ Early-Morning Start Times
Our crews begin work early in the day, when temperatures are lower and conditions are safer. This helps beat the midday heat and ensures critical moving tasks are done before peak sun exposure.
❄️ Climate-Regulated Storage Options
Need to store belongings during your move? Wheaton offers climate-controlled storage to protect sensitive items like electronics, artwork, wood furniture, and records from warping or heat damage.
🧊 Trained Crews with Heat Protocols
Our movers are trained to recognize signs of heat exhaustion and stay hydrated throughout the day. We build in regular water breaks and rotate team members on especially strenuous tasks like lifting or stair carries.
🛑 Tips for Customers Moving in the Heat
- Keep essentials with you: Sunscreen, water bottles, fans, and light snacks.
- Dress light: Wear breathable fabrics and light colors.
- Stay cool indoors: Let Wheaton handle the heavy lifting while you monitor progress from the AC.
- Label heat-sensitive items: Mark boxes with “fragile – avoid heat” and we’ll give them special care.
