Fridges, washers, dryers and freezers need disconnection, door/track protection and careful tilting (some, like French-door fridges, must stay upright). Movers price by weight class and stairs, not distance alone.
| Type | Typical weight | Estimate |
|---|---|---|
| Chest freezer | 150–250 lb | $1,460–$2,065 |
| Standard fridge | 250–350 lb | $1,775–$2,505 |
| French-door / side-by-side fridge | 300–400 lb | $2,195–$3,095 |
| Washer & dryer pair | 400–500 lb combined | $2,505–$3,540 |
For a french-door / side-by-side fridge, expect roughly $2,195–$3,095 over the 2895-mile move.
Long-distance specialty movers often combine multiple items on one truck run, so the per-mile rate drops as the route gets longer — short moves pay a premium for a dedicated trip.
Size/weight class of the heavy appliance, how many flights of stairs at pickup or delivery, and how far in advance you can book a truck.
