Advantages of Climate Controlled Storage
The idea behind climate-controlled units is to maintain a constant average temperature and humidity to better store customers’ items. The temperature will be similar to the average temperature in a home.
Both the temperature and the humidity are vital when it comes to avoiding moisture in a storage unit. Humidity is the presence of water molecules in the air. In higher temperatures, more water can be held in the air.
​
When the temperature and the humidity are kept within a stable range, the chances of moisture forming are significantly reduced.
Climate control is sometimes known as temperature control. Typically offered in less accessible indoor facilities, however we offer convenient drive-up units
What should be kept in Climate controlled Storage?
​
-
Wood - Wooden objects like tables, chairs, and stringed instruments are susceptible to damage in both extreme heat and extreme cold. In the heat, it can expand and crack. In the cold, wood can contract, causing it to crack when it thaws out again.
-
Electronics - Computers, speakers, cameras, and most other electronic devices are damaged beyond use after long-term exposure to humidity and extreme cold.
-
Media - DVDs, CDs, and vinyl records all lose image or sound quality in extreme heat. If you have treasured tunes or family videos, you’ll definitely want to keep them in climate-controlled storage.
-
Wine - Wine cannot age properly in extreme heat. After long-term heat exposure, wine can turn brown and cloudy.
-
Fabric - Items like clothes, stuffed toys, and upholstered furniture are at high risk of growing mold and mildew in a humid environment.
-
Metal - Moist air, especially when combined with extremely hot or cold temperatures, is a recipe for rust.
-
Paper - Books, newspapers, and photographs can yellow and fade in extreme temperatures and can be ruined altogether while exposed to prolonged humidity.
