Hot and humid weather can damage items stored in storage units. Important documents for your home or business can be destroyed if not properly protected.  We urge our customers to be cautious with computer equipment and electronics, wood or leather furniture, photographs, books, clothing, artwork and other valuable possessions. Faced with living in an area with these weather conditions, climate-controlled storage units can provide the ideal solution for storing your personal or business-related items.

A steady temperature of 58–82° is featured in traditional climate-controlled storage buildings.  This temperature range is controlled using central air conditioning and heat.  A controlled environment of this type can prevent damage such as warping, cracking, splitting, mold, mildew, rust, yellowing and corrosion. Finally, the carefully regulated environment of climate-controlled buildings can also provide protection from dust, dirt and flooding.

WHICH ITEMS WILL BE STORED?

The following is a list of items commonly stored in climate-controlled storage:

• Antiques & heirlooms

HOW OFTEN WILL YOU BE VISITING YOUR SELF-STORAGE UNIT?

If frequent trips will be made to the storage unit to organize, remove or add items your comfort should be considered. Working in an environment with pleasant temperatures can make the job much easier.

WHAT IS THE VALUE OF THE ITEMS GOING INTO STORAGE? 

As climate-controlled storage units cost more than standard units on a monthly basis, the value of the stored items should be considered.
