A climate-controlled storage unit is a good option for storing items that need to be kept in a climate-controlled environment. Such units help protect your belongings from extreme heat or cold conditions. If you have items that could be damaged by temperature fluctuations, a climate-controlled storage unit may be what you're looking for.

Here are three reasons to rent a climate-controlled storage unit:

To protect items from extreme temperatures

Climate-controlled storage facilities have climate control systems that monitor the air quality and temperature inside the unit 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Items sensitive to climate changes may be damaged when exposed to extreme heat or cold conditions for long periods.

Keeping climate-sensitive items in climate-controlled storage units minimizes the damage that could be caused by climate change. Items are stored at a constant temperature, usually between 55°F and 85°F, with an average humidity of 45%. The climate control systems monitor air quality, including carbon dioxide levels, significantly reducing climate-related damages.

If you live in a region where humidity and temperatures change quickly, climate-controlled storage is the best option for your climate-sensitive items. If you have valuables, such as books, clothes, or art, climate control will keep them at the right climate level. Thus, the risk of damage is significantly reduced.

To Ensure That Items Are Kept Safe and Secure

A climate-controlled storage unit is not just for storing items that need climate control. You can also use these storage units to protect your valuable items from theft, fire, or other climate damage.

In other words, these units are typically equipped with climate and fire control features that help protect your goods against theft or other climate problems. Many of these storage units also have security features, such as video surveillance and alarm systems to protect your items from theft and unauthorized access.

If your climate-controlled storage unit is equipped with an alarm and backup generator, you don't need to worry about power outages causing climate damage.

Avoid Climate Damage from Pests and Rodents

Climate-controlled storage units are often pest-proofed, which means they can help protect your belongings from climate changes as well as pest infestation. Rodents like mice and rats pose a significant threat because they can chew through valuable items. Rodents also spread diseases, so climate-controlled storage helps protect your health as well as your belongings. 

A climate-controlled storage unit is a perfect place for storing items that may be sensitive to extreme temperatures. It is ideal for climate-sensitive items, such as family heirlooms, photographs, books, computers, laptops, vital documents, and other irreplaceable items.
