If you've chosen to rent a storage unit, you'll need to determine what kind of storage unit you'll need. Sometimes, a drive-up access, outdoor storage unit is not the correct choice.
A climate controlled storage unit is kept at a constant temperature that is regulated by the storage facility. Invest in a storage unit that will not only give you a great storage solution, but will also keep your items protected and in the same shape you left them.
Before making the final decision on the right storage solution for your personal or company needs, consider these benefits of climate controlled storage.
Renting a climate-controlled storage unit will protect your belongings from the damaging effects of extreme temperature changes. Extreme temperature changes can cause your sensitive items to crack, warp or split. High humidity levels can also cause mold and mildew to grow on your belongings, damaging everything.
The temperature in a climate-controlled storage unit, is kept consistent throughout the year, no matter the weather conditions outside.
Some items are more sensitive to temperature and humidity level changes than others. If you plan on storing items such as, musical instruments, electronics, expensive artwork, important documents or antique furniture, you should strongly consider storing them in a climate-controlled storage unit. These items can easily discolour, warp or crack in extreme temperature and humidity changes.
Mold and mildew can also grow and stain important documents. These documents could become unreadable over time.
Most climate controlled storage units are located inside buildings. Unlike drive-up access storage units, much like a garage, these end up having better sealed and insulated roofs, walls, and floors. This makes them less susceptible to the wear and tear that weather can eventually cause on the storage unit and decrease the possibility of a flood or tracked in dirt. There is also less of a chance that rodents or insects will make their way into your storage unit.
If you know that you will be storing your belongings for a longer period of time, always consider a climate-controlled storage unit. Over time, there is a better chance of your items warping or developing rust. It is very important that your items are prepared properly for long term storage, as some items may require different care or treatment.
Have the peace of mind knowing that, no matter how long your items sit in storage, you will find them just as you left them.
Climate-controlled storage units regularly cost more than outdoor storage units. The small increase in price is usually insignificant, knowing your items will be safe and secure from the possible damage of fluctuating temperature and humidity.
