Often I get the question "What types of things would I need to store in a Climate Control unit? What is the difference between that and a regular storage unit?" Today I hope to help answer those questions.
A Climate Control storage unit is typically kept at a temperature between 50-85 degrees. There is a light in the storage unit as well as a AC/heat duct. Because we are regulating the temperature, we also will be regulating the humidity as well--which is a big deal this time of year. Extreme high and low temperatures may cause wood to warp or leather to crack, while high humidity could cause precious family photos to mildew, discolor and stick together. If you are a business and need to keep important documents and papers in order but are short on space at your office, Climate Control storage may be the perfect place to put those extras. Having a light in the storage unit will also help when needing to find important information.
Another advantage to getting a Climate Control storage unit with us is that all the units are within another building. That means the unit itself is out of the elements and no matter what time of year it is, you can go through your unit without getting wet or freezing. There is also added security to get into the building. Most buildings have a large garage door that you can bring bulky items through and then the storage units are located close by inside the building.
A regular storage unit is like a garage would be and should be just fine for every day items and storing smaller items in plastic containers with lids will be even more helpful. But if you have collectibles, heirloom items, expensive electronics or business documents, you may want to consider a Climate Control storage unit. Give us a call and we will help answer and questions you may have.
