Cactus Moving provides appliance moving in Ottawa for fridges, freezers, ovens, dishwashers, washers, and dryers, plus many commercial appliances. We plan the route, protect surfaces, and use the right tools to control weight and balance. Our main advantage is pricing clarity: within Ottawa we do not add travel time, mileage, or insurance charges, and you see the full rate breakdown before work begins. For local moves, you can reserve a date without a deposit. Our crews bring proven experience from multiple Canadian cities, and we apply that process to Ottawa moves that need careful handling.
Lock in your preferred moving day early at no cost. We hold your date while you finalize keys, elevator bookings, and other details, so prime weekends and month-end slots do not slip away. Change or confirm later without penalty.

You will know the plan before moving day, including access details, the safest path, and any disconnect requirements. We check stairs, corners, and door widths early, and we confirm where each appliance will be placed at the destination. On site, we use moving pads, straps, and proper dollies to keep appliances stable and to reduce shifting. Communication stays simple so you know what is happening at each stage.
We start with a planning call to confirm appliance types, pickup and drop-off access, and any stairs or tight turns. Then we flag special needs such as narrow landings, soft flooring, or long carries.
Your quote includes crew size, equipment plan, hourly rate, estimated hours, included protections, and an arrival window. Within Ottawa, we remove common add-ons such as travel time, mileage, and insurance charges, so pricing is easier to compare.
If you request packing, we protect nearby items and prep pathways so appliances can move without snagging or impact. We can also pack fragile items in the area to reduce breakage during the move.
When the moving day comes our crews come on time and fully prepared. We protect floors, doors, railings, and elevators before loading begins (and before unloading begins). All furniture is wrapped in clean moving blankets and handled efficiently even if packing was not included. We load, secure, and safely transport your belongings to a new home.
After placement, we do a final walkthrough with you to confirm each appliance is set where you want it. If something needs a small adjustment, we handle it before closing the job.
For local appliance moves in Ottawa, payment happens after the job is complete. No deposit is required to book, and the invoice matches the agreed hourly rate and time.
Once the move is finished, you receive a small cactus gift as a simple thank you.
If we earned it, a short review helps other Ottawa customers choose a mover for heavy items with confidence. Your feedback also helps us improve our training and process.

Moves are billed by the hour, based on crew size and time on site. Additionaly, weight of the appliance affect thefinal price. We confirm your rate and arrival window before moving day, and within Ottawa we do not add travel time, mileage, or insurance charges to keep cost of the service low.
Yes, if we can confirm access, weight, and placement needs. Tell us what it is and where it is going, and we will plan the right crew and equipment.
We can handle basic prep and safe handling, but disconnection or hookups may require a qualified technician, depending on the appliance and local rules.
We protect surfaces with moving blakets and floor runners for protection where needed, and we control appliances with straps and a planned route.
No, we do not move Sub-Zero refrigerators.
Yes. We offer flexible scheduling, including night moves, based on crew availability and access rules.
Overnight appliance moving can help in Ottawa when daytime parking, loading zones, or building traffic makes access harder. Quieter hours can reduce delays and give crews more room to work. This option depends on availability and any building rules.

Strong results with heavy items come from repeatable training and controlled technique, not guesswork. Our movers complete structured onboarding and hands-on testing before they handle appliances and other heavy items. Refreshers cover protection methods, safe lifting, and secure loading. Because we operate in multiple cities, we keep improving procedures as we learn, then bring that experience into every Ottawa move.
