Moving in, moving on

There comes a time in everyone’s life when they need to start paying hundreds of dollars a week to a complete stranger to get out of eating dinner at four thirty in the afternoon.

Of course, that’s not the only reason people to choose to move out of their parents’ place. But I’m pretty sure it’s in the top ten, along with complaints about your music (“It’s just noise!”) and continually asking your friends if they’d like to see your baby pictures.

And so comes the day when you find yourself standing in an empty apartment (you don’t own much), marvelling at how much space there is. You are finally the master of your own domain (but certainly not your finances), and can do whatever you want as long as it doesn’t leave a mark on the wall or a chalk outline on the carpet.

Sitting on an upturned milk crate (the closest thing you have to furniture other than your bed), you think of all the things you can do now that you live on your own:

Invite friends over without the risk of being embarrassed by your parents. (Your Facebook profile is another story).

Play your music as loud as you like (or rather as loud as your earbuds can handle—your parents didn’t let you take their stereo).

Eat dinner as late as you like.

At the thought of dinner you notice the empty space where a fridge should be. Your parents didn’t let you take that either, or the television. You start listing the things you’ll need to buy:

Fridge—the leftover takeaway has to be stored somewhere

Television—you don’t watch much TV these days (if you see another game show you’ll scream), but without one your PS4 gaming console is pretty much useless

Washing machine—the last thing you need are complete strangers seeing your underwear.

Unfortunately, having just paid a bond and two weeks’ rent in advance means you’re pretty much broke. And even if you could afford to buy them, you’d then have to pay to have them all delivered.

Luckily for you, Home Appliance Rentals has created a Home Starter Pack that will have you eating reheated leftovers while watching TV in no time. For just $41.54 a week you get:

• a fridge
• a washing machine
• a 66cm LED TV.

And what makes it even better is they’ll not only deliver it all, they’ll install it all as well. Just tell them where you want things to go, and they’ll get everything working before they leave. (Okay, they might not hook up your PS4 for you. But you can handle that, right?)

Oh, and if you want to upgrade that milk crate to something you can share with friends (or at least fall asleep on), you can hire lounge suites and other furniture from them as well. How cool is that?

So get in touch with Home Appliance Rentals today, get the stuff you need, and start enjoying your independence. But don’t forget that despite the weird eating times, your parents are still pretty awesome and you should visit them occasionally.

Probably Sunday. That’s when they cook a roast, isn’t it?

With our corporate long term rentals, moving to a new area because of work becomes much simpler.


What are corporate long term rentals? In short, you can rent household items to fully equip a property ready for residents to move straight in.


Why choose us for your long term rentals?


In addition to ensuring we provide high-tech items that won't let you down, we provide a vast range of long-term rentals:

Making corporate relocation easier


As experts in our field, we understand that corporate relocation isn't the easiest process. If someone is moving house temporarily, packing up all of their goods and moving them to a new city soon becomes costly and cumbersome for the following reasons:
They have to pay a removal company in each direction.
Items may encounter damage on the way.
It could even delay the move.


In contrast, renting the items they need when they move into temporary accommodation could be much less hassle. It's also an ideal solution if you're not sure how long a relocation will last for. Why? Because when the occupants move out, you can send the items back.


Full House Rental Packages for Corporate Long Term Rentals


Our corporate relocation services allow you to rent both large and small items. Once they're in place, your employees can start feeling at home straight away.


Our range of items is huge and we'll customise each package to meet your requirements. Setting up a new house will become hassle-free, plus we'll pack and install each item. Finally, there's a full breakdown service in place, so your residents don't have to worry about temporarily losing out on any of their home comforts.


Want to learn more? Give our friendly team a call and we'll see if the items you need are available for your area.

Setting up House

Whether you're moving home for the first time or in the midst of a last-minute shift, not having the right white goods makes life difficult. From fridges and freezers to washing machines and TVs, you'll soon miss those essential household goods. If you're struggling to settle on an item or your budget doesn't cover one yet, just come to us for a rental.

Hire a fridge to ensure life is comfy

Living without a refrigerator is next to impossible. In the absence of a cold space, you'll either have to live off non-perishable foods, get to grips with a freezer box, or buy food on a daily basis.

Fortunately, we're here to come to your rescue. If you're still deciding on the perfect fridge for your home, you can hire one from us until it arrives. For extra convenience, consider a freezer too. In the long term, you'll save money on lengthy shopping trips and purchasing takeout food.

Use appliance rentals to entertain the kids

Whether your TV's function is running its course or you broke yours, you can use appliance rentals to treat your family. As items that are rarely cheap, but are often necessary, televisions probably play a prominent role in your household's entertainment.

Our appliance rentals include TVs to suit all functions. From HD through to smart, our range is cost-effective and will buy you time until you can purchase a new one (or you might decide you prefer the rental situation!).

Rent a washing machine for a convenient life

Most washing machines have a shelf life of three to five years. If yours starts to leak, refuses to complete a cycle, or won't initiate at all, you may need to rent a washing machine until you can resolve the issue.

In some cases, a quick fix will allow you to keep your original model. However, during that period you don't want to waste time borrowing neighbours' machines or heading to a laundrette. As such, choosing to rent a washing machine makes life more convenient, and it saves money.

Making your summer or winter more comfortable

Appliance rentals also extend to air conditioners and heaters. As such, if your home's HVAC system needs a helping hand, you can use our appliance rentals to create a climate that keeps you happy.

Whether you need to hire a fridge, temporarily find a washing machine, or get your hands on a television; we're here to help. Call our friendly team, and we'll soon deliver your appliance.

Hot? Hire an Air Conditioner to Cool Off Fast

As the summer sun beats down and the days start to get hotter, your dreams about how to cool off have probably begun. Do you feel like you are suffocating as you work on the computer in your home office? Are your kids complaining that they can’t concentrate on homework because the heat is intolerable? Is it hopeless to unwind after a long day, because you’re sticky and uncomfortable?  No matter your age or what you’re trying to do, it can be hard to function when the air around you is hot and stuffy.

Fortunately, we can solve your climate control problems simply and quickly with an air conditioner hire. Contact us for a consultation, and we’ll advise you on the most effective and affordable portable air conditioner for your space. Once you make a selection, all that’s left for you to do is sit back, rest and enjoy the fresh, cool breeze blowing through your room.

Perfect for Your Rental Home or Office

Many rental apartments or office spaces, especially in older buildings, do not have the infrastructure for central air conditioning. Also, many owners are not interested in providing this amenity to their tenants. That’s not a reason to swelter through the summer months. Installation of one of our hired air conditioner units is fast and easy, with no messy drilling or unsightly ductwork. It is the ultimate quick-fix to make your living and/or work space more enjoyable.

Cost-Efficient and Space-Efficient Solution

The cost of our air conditioner hire includes delivery, installation and removal. There are no hidden costs or extra fees.  Also, if your home or office is small with minimal room for extra furnishings, this arrangement is ideal! Once the weather changes and cold air drafts in, you won’t need to rearrange your furniture or clear out a closet for storage space. Just give us a call, and we’ll come pick up your portable unit for off-season storage.

Guaranteed Satisfaction

We stand behind our range of modern, high-quality air conditioners for hire. If you’re not satisfied with how your unit works or if something breaks down, we’ll respond immediately to resolve the issue. Hiring a mobile air conditioner is hassle-free, with no maintenance fees or costly service calls.

Our customer support team cares about your comfort, and we always go the extra mile to assist you with whatever you need.

LCD Displays for Christmas Promotions

As the Christmas season approaches, it’s time to start thinking about how to approach festive promotions. LCD displays can be used in a number of ways to really differentiate your business and get the season going. Here are some ideas on how to use an LCD display or two to attract customers an increase sales. 

Advertise promotions

The most obvious way to use an LCD display is to entice customers into your shop by advertising your promotions. Placing the display in a prominent position, such as in a window or facing a doorway, will help to catch the eye of passers-by.

Try to use simple words and phrases where possible, so that customers can take in the message in one glance. Use the word ‘Christmas’ to remind them that this may be a good time to buy presents or prepare for the festivities.

You can also include pictures and videos of your products. This will help to tempt customers in, once they see what they can get included in your deals.

Thank your customers

Advertising doesn’t always have to take the form of promoting a product or pushing sales. Sometimes, simply reinforcing or creating a bond with your customers is needed. The period before Christmas is a great time to do this.

Display a message on your LCD screens to thank your customers for their business throughout the year. You can also wish them a Merry Christmas (or just Happy Holidays) and a Happy New Year using the display. This is a great way to spread goodwill and your customers will really appreciate it.

This isn’t about creating direct sales, but about building brand loyalty. When customers see your heart-warming message, they will feel good as they leave your shop. This helps to keep your business top of mind next time they need something.

Countdown to Christmas

Urgency is one of the key factors that can convince customers to 'buy now'. When your potential customers realise they are running out of time to buy presents or stock up for Christmas, motivation is higher and they are more likely to come into your business and make a purchase.

Have a countdown to Christmas along with some graphics. These may be images of your products, festive cartoons, or just simple illustrations designed to really catch the eye of people walking by.

The use of hired LCD displays means the ability to communicate more effectively with your customers. Set them up for Christmas cheer and you will be onto a definite winner!

Gaming in the School Holidays

The school holidays can be a challenging time for both kids and parents. Once the novelty wears off, you’ll soon start to hear the familiar “mum I’m bored!” and need to start thinking up some activities to keep your kids busy until they go back to school.
Family days out are a great activity during the holidays of course, but it’s equally important to plan for downtime and give the kids something to do on their own that will give you some much-needed space to re-energise.
Console games on systems like the Xbox and PS4 are one option that is universally loved by kids of all ages. What makes these gaming systems so great for families is that there’s a huge selection of games available to suit age ranges from preschool to teenager, and you can either choose games that are played alone or team games that the whole family can enjoy together.
Why Xbox Hire Makes Sense in the School Holidays
Many parents don’t like their children to spend a lot of their time gaming, especially during the school year when they’d prefer them to spend that time on homework or other activities like reading.
In the holidays when everything feels a little more relaxed, it’s nice to have another option for a rainy day or when you just need a bit of mindless entertainment. Xbox or PS4 hire is a way to let your kids enjoy gaming without the expense of buying a console and the temptation of having it in the house every day.
Gaming for Family Fun
Most parents will see the appeal of something that will get their kids out of their hair for a while, but not everyone realizes that console games on systems like the Xbox and PS4 can also be a great way for families to stay active and have fun together.
The Xbox One Kinect allows you to control games through your movement and voice, bringing a whole new dimension to gaming – it’s no longer a sedentary activity sitting on the couch.
Dance and sport games are great fun for kids and adults of all ages and make a great way to get some exercise in and enjoy playing together as a family at the same time.
The PS4 also has the option of a virtual reality headset, turning games into an interactive experience that will surprise and thrill everyone from kids to grandparents.
School Holiday Gaming for All
You can hire a PS4 or Xbox One for the whole school holidays (stock permitting) – the choice is yours. You also get controllers, games, and everything you need to get started right away, all for a low weekly rental price. When school is back in session, you can simply return the equipment and resume your normal school-time family routine – so what are you waiting for?

Spring into Fitness

A fun and easy way to get your spring fitness regimen started is to enjoy fitness in the comfort of your own home. This gym alternative is more convenient as you can designate your own space for exercise rand have all of the equipment there ready when you are. It can be expensive to purchase equipment outright, but exercise equipment hire is an excellent option you can look into. You can rent it by the week and the company will deliver it, set it up, and take it away again once you're finished with it. There are a variety of equipment options to choose from. What equipment you hire all depends on what you want to accomplish with your spring fitness.

• Cross Trainer. One of the popular options you can rent is a cross trainer. This is popular because it gives you the same results you would get if you went jogging but it is gentler on your joints. If you have knee problems or if you're overweight, this equipment will give you a low impact total body workout. It is also eco-friendly, as it uses very little electricity to operate.
• Exercise Bike. If you're a fan of biking but not a fan of the ever-changing weather, an exercise bike can solve your problems. You'll get to exercise in the comfort of your own home, with less wear on your joints.
• Rowing Machine. A rowing machine is impact-free. This is an excellent calorie burning exercise option. You'll exercise large groups of muscles all over your body in one convenient machine. This machine is suited for building your core strength and losing weight.
• Treadmill. If you want to work on your cardio training, try using a treadmill. You can set it so it simulates running uphill for a harder workout, or downhill. You can also work on your speed and burn calories when you use it.

If you want to start your spring fitness regimen off right, start by renting top-notch equipment. Once it's in your home, you'll be even more motivated to use it on a daily basis because it's convenient. If you would like to know more about the equipment you can hire, or if you want to jump-start your spring fitness regimen, contact us. We have friendly and professional staff that are more than happy to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have.
