Yes. You can generate, edit, and use the full moving plan for free. The optional $19 one-time MovePlan Pro upgrade unlocks the printable PDF binder, weekly reminder emails, and a few power-user features.

Will I get sales calls from movers?

No. MovePlan does not sell your address or move date to third-party movers. The product is funded by the optional $19 upgrade, not lead-generation.

Do I need to create an account?

No account required. Your plan is saved automatically and accessible by URL. You can also add your email so reminder emails can be sent.

How long does it take to generate a plan?

About 60 seconds. You answer 5 short questions (move date, home size, origin, destination, what you need most help with) and MovePlan generates a personalized plan.

Yes. Every task, room, budget line, address, utility, and box label is editable. You can add custom tasks, mark items done, and rearrange the plan to fit how you actually want to move.

Can I disconnect a gas dryer myself?

If you are qualified and confident you can shut the valve, but capping, reconnecting, and leak-testing the line is safest done by a licensed pro.

Do I need to keep a dryer upright?

It is best practice. A dryer is more forgiving than a washer, but upright transport avoids stressing the drum and belt.

Should I clean the vent before moving?

Yes. With the duct disconnected it is the perfect time to clear lint and reduce fire risk in your new home.

How to Move a Clothes Dryer

Last updated 2026-07-13 · MovePlan Editorial Team

A dryer is lighter than a washer but adds one big variable: gas. An electric dryer is a straightforward disconnect, but a gas dryer requires shutting off and capping the gas line, which is a job for a professional unless you are confident and qualified.

Difficulty: Moderate
Time: 1 hour for electric, 1 to 2 hours for gas plus a pro for the line
Typical cost: Around $20 to $40 in supplies, plus $75 to $150 for a pro to disconnect a gas line
Supplies: Appliance dolly, Moving straps, Furniture blankets, Screwdriver, Adjustable wrench (gas models), Vent brush or vacuum

Pro tip: Electric and gas dryers use different power connections, so verify your new laundry room matches before you move.

Watch out: A gas dryer has a live gas line. Shut the valve and have a qualified pro cap, reconnect, and leak-test it. Never leave a gas line open or unattended.
