Whether you’re putting items into storage for a few months or a year, they will be much better protected in a climate-controlled unit. The relatively small extra cost of climate-controlled storage is a wise investment due to the many benefits it provides. Here are a few of its advantages in detail to help you decide if this is the right choice for you. 

3 Reasons to Choose Climate-Controlled Storage

1. Protection From Temperature Extremes

If the climate in your area gets below 40 degrees or above 80 degrees Fahrenheit, then the temperature extremes outside this range could damage your belongings as they sit in the storage facility. Items that will most likely get damaged due to extreme temperature include fabrics, paper, and wood. You should never put antiques, wood furniture, books, important documents, upholstered furniture, musical instruments, and mattresses in a non-climate-controlled unit.

2. Protection From Dust & Pests

Climate-controlled units have an extra insulation layer in the walls, which provides more protection than limiting thermal transfer. That insulation helps keep out pests that would damage your belongings by using the materials for food or shelter. It will also block out other dust and debris, keeping your items clean. 

3. Protection From Humidity

Climate-controlled units have excellent air quality. You’ll also have the option to add humidity protection. This will be vital in protecting your belongings. Even small amounts of moisture in the air can do severe damage over time—warping wood, rusting metal, and destroying fabrics or paper.
