Climate-Controlled Storage
Peace of Mind
Some things can be damaged by heat, humidity and cold. A climate-controlled unit may help keep your stuff within a set temperature or humidity range.
Comfortable Visits
Need to stop by your storage unit on a regular basis? A climate-controlled unit may make sure your visit is comfortable in either hot or cold weather, year-round.
What Climate-Controlled Storage Means
Climate-controlled storage units are designed to help maintain more consistent temperature and humidity levels compared with standard units. These spaces are especially helpful in climates with hot summers, cold winters, or fluctuating humidity, making visits more comfortable year-round and helping reduce the impact of extreme conditions on stored items.
Wine
Some wines improve with age, but only under controlled conditions. Temperature swings and heat accelerate the wine's aging process, leaving it sharp, acidic and vinegary.
Wood Furniture
Warm, humid air can cause wood to swell and warp. Dry, cold winter air can make it shrink and crack. Neither extreme is good for wood furniture.
Leather, Fabrics and Upholstery
Mold and mildew thrive in warm, humid air. If either infest fabric, it can result in permanent damage. If you're storing furniture in a humid part of the country, a climate-controlled storage unit may be worth considering.
Cameras, Lenses and Electronics
Moisture and condensation are the enemies when it comes to photo gear and electronics. Camera bodies can corrode and lenses can be destroyed by humidity-loving fungi.
Photos and Film
High heat and humidity can cause photos to curl, fade and degrade rapidly. Climate control may keep your photos looking good for generations.
Record Albums and Magnetic Media
Heat can melt an LP record very easily, leaving it warped and unplayable. Magnetic media — such as cassettes, reel-to-reel tapes, computer disks and hard drives — are sensitive to humidity and condensation.
Musical Instruments
Stringed instruments can warp and their glued joints can fail. Bacteria, mold and mildew can grow in brasses and woodwinds. Pianos can suffer all these effects. If you're storing a musical instrument, go with a climate-controlled space.
How To Rent a Storage Unit
Storing Sensitive Items
Certain household and business items may react to temperature swings or moisture in the air. Climate-controlled units provide an environment that can help reduce the risk of warping, cracking, or mildew for items like wood furniture, electronics, fabrics, and non-important documents.
Comfortable Access Anytime
Because these units help moderate extreme heat and cold within the facility, customers often find visits more comfortable regardless of outdoor weather. This can be especially useful if you plan to visit your unit frequently.
Helpful for Long-Term Storage
Customers who plan to store items for extended periods often choose climate-controlled storage. Maintaining more consistent conditions over time can help limit the effects of prolonged exposure to heat, cold, or moisture fluctuations.
Flexible Month-to-Month Usage
Climate-controlled rentals follow the same month-to-month terms as other storage options, giving you flexibility if your needs change over time. Whether you’re storing items just for a season or longer, you can adjust your rental without long-term commitment.
