Whether spring cleaning or planning a move, a storage unit will come in handy. This way, you can rest easy knowing your belongings will remain secure and organized until needed. For an extra layer of protection, consider temperature-controlled storage for the following reasons.

Why Invest in Temperature-Controlled Storage Units

1. Prevent Damage From Extreme Temperatures

There are several items susceptible to damage when exposed to extreme temperatures. For example, cold air can weaken electronic components, causing parts to crack. Fluctuating temperatures can cause wooden furniture to expand, contract, and warp, decreasing the value of your investments. Heat can cause paint on artwork and ink on paper to run.

Regardless of the weather outside, temperature-controlled storage units will never get to the freezing or boiling point, preventing the associated property damage.     

2. Keep Away the Elements

To control temperatures, storage units are often insulated and housed inside facilities. The insulation serves as a barrier to keep dust, dirt, and other abrasive particles out of the unit, too.

This will prevent scuffs and scratches on surfaces. Having indoor storage also reduces the risks of rain runoff and melted snow seeping inside the unit and saturating belongings. 

3. Save Money

Renting a temperature-controlled storage unit could save you money in the long run. As the unit is kept at a consistent temperature and protected from the elements, you won’t have to repair or replace damaged property down the line. This will keep more money in your wallet and ensure irreplaceable items remain intact.
