Climate Control

The climate of Earth is a climate of change. It can be 65 degrees and sunny in January, but then later that same day the temperature will dip into the single digits with freezing rain leaving a layer of ice an inch thick in its wake. Climate-controlled self-storage units can be recommended for a variety of reasons. Climate-controlled storage is a type of self-storage that is designed to prevent mold, mildew and moisture problems. High or low temperatures and high humidity are the leading causes of damage to goods in storage. Climate control typically means keeping the temperature below 80 degrees in the summer and above 50 degrees in the winter, with humidity below 65 percent to stop mold or mildew.

When considering traditional storage units versus climate controlled storage units, you should consider if you would feel comfortable placing your items in a garage. If the answer is yes, then you may be comfortable choosing traditional self-storage. However, if you would not feel safe with your items in a garage-type environment, then climate-controlled storage is the way to go.

Wondering which items need controlled-storage conditions? Below is a list of items you should consider storing in climate-controlled storage units:

  • Paper products such as photos, files, or important documents
  • Electronics such as televisions high def TV, plasma, ink jet printers or computers
  • Appliances
  • Art, oil paintings, etc
  • Home furnishings, especially antiques, leather furniture or high quality furniture
  • Clothes, fabrics, fine linens or leather
  • Mattresses
  • Musical instruments
  • Metals subject to rusting
  • Pharmaceutical products
Climate-controlled storage is ideal for storing any temperature sensitive items. Benefits of Climate Control:
  • Regulated environment to protect your valuables from extreme temperature change.
  • Dehumidifies the air to reduce the impact humidity may have on your valuables.
  • Provides a second layer of security access to your unit.
  • Provides a comfortable environment for you, especially if you visit often.
  • Closed building (less dirt and dust).
  • Many sizes to choose from.

The benefits of climate-controlled storage offer peace of mind and security to tenants storing temperature sensitive items. Peace of mind is well worth a few extra dollars per month and tenants of a climate controlled storage unit can rest assured that their belongings are protected from the rise and fall of temperatures and humidity.

Another common need for a climate-controlled self-storage unit would be for pharmaceutical representatives that need to store their merchandise and stock of prescription drugs. Many of these drugs can only be stored under specific conditions.

So whether you need to store items for your residence or your business, temperature-sensitive items, or high-end electronics, your needs will be met with climate-controlled self-storage. It provides a real solution for you.

Packing Tips

  • Use quality boxes that are strong enough to hold the items stored.
  • Label all of your boxes well when packing to make it easier for you to find things when you need them. Remember to mark all boxes containing delicate items as "fragile."
  • When selecting the right box, keep in mind the weight as well as the size of the items you are packing. Use small boxes for heavier items such as books and larger boxes for lighter items such as blankets and pillows.
  • Never overfill a box. Bulging boxes may not sit flat and are difficult to store.
  • Use quality tape to seal your boxes.
  • Framed pictures and mirrors can be stored in specially made cardboard containers.
  • If you plan to store appliances, make sure that they are clean and dry.
  • When packing hanging clothes, use a wardrobe box with a hanging bar.
  • Folded clothes can be packed in boxes or suitcases.
  • All fragile or delicate items should be wrapped individually in paper, bubble wrap or foam wrap for added protection.
  • Wrap small appliances when packing them and position them securely in a box to keep them from shifting during your move.
  • If you disassemble any furniture, place the nuts, bolts and screws in a small Ziploc bag. You can tape the bag to the furniture to keep all pieces together.
  • Remove furniture legs if possible, and wrap in bubble wrap.

Things To Do

  • Stack your things in similar sized boxes, as they will be easier to stack.
  • Stack heavier items on the bottom - But be sure not to over pack boxes so they get too heavy and dangerous.
  • Avoid stacking things directly against the wall to leave room for some air flow in the unit.
  • Use pallets or blankets to keep items off the floor of the unit.
  • Make a plan on how to organize your unit. This will save you time in the long run. You can store couches on end, stack chairs seat to seat, and use larger items to store blankets, clothes, and smaller knickknacks.
  • Leave a walkway down the center of your unit to make accessing all items easier.
  • You may need to purchase shelving units to better utilize your storage space. This could even make your space needs smaller and save you money!
  • Label all boxes on all sides. Again, this will save you time in the long run.
  • Pack items that you will be frequently accessing towards the front - common sense, we know.
  • Take apart large items, such as bed frames, tables, etc. This will save space and prevent them from breaking. Be sure to keep all parts together. Keep screws and smaller items handy by taping them to the larger item they belong to.
  • If storing appliances be sure to clean them out first! Leave the door slightly open on refrigerators and microwaves to prevent mildew.
  • Rub a small amount of oil on metal tools, bikes, etc. This will prevent rust - but be sure to separate these to not get oil on other things!
  • Store mirrors and paintings on end, do not lay them flat. Wrap and indicate they are fragile.
  • Lay blankets or cloth over and between furniture to prevent scratching.

Things Not To Do:

  • Store any sort of food item in a storage unit as it will attract rodents.
  • Leave paint, oil, or gasoline in your storage unit. Drain all gas and oil from lawnmowers, snow blowers, etc. It is against the law to store hazardous or combustible materials such as these.
  • Put mothballs in boxes, they could possibly leave stains on clothing.
  • Give any un-trusted source access codes or keys to your storage unit.
  • Hesitate to ask the facility manager any questions you may have before, during or after move-in!
