Find Affordable Climate Controlled Self Storage

A climate controlled storage unit keeps the temperature between 55°F-80°F and maintains stable humidity levels. This helps prevent damage like warping, rust, or mold, especially for sensitive items such as furniture, electronics, photographs, and tools.

There are three types of climate controlled storage:

• Climate controlled storage maintains a temperature between 55-80°F.
• Air-conditioned or heated storage uses hot or cool air to regulate temperature, and
• Humidity-controlled storage regulates moisture by keeping humidity levels around 55%.

Climate controlled storage is highly recommended for sensitive items like:

• Furniture and mattresses
• Electronics and appliances
• Artwork and musical instruments
• Photos, books, and documents
• Vinyl records and collectibles
• Wine, candles, and leather goods.

Climate controlled units are more expensive than standard units. How much more you pay depends on where you live and the unit size. You can expect to pay 20-50 percent more per month compared to standard units.

Climate controlled units don't automatically include insurance, but many storage facilities offer it as a separate add-on.

Insurance can help cover losses from theft, fire, or other unexpected events, but may not always include damage from temperature or humidity.

Be sure to check with your facility to confirm what's covered and review the policy details before you commit.

There's an art to how to pack furniture for climate controlled storage. Properly wrapping furniture for climate controlled storage protects your valuable pieces from dust, scratches, and moisture while preserving their condition for years.

1. Clean Your Furniture: Thoroughly clean all furniture and apply conditioners to leather and wood surfaces before wrapping.

2. Add at Least 2 Layers of Protection: Start with moving blankets for cushioning, then add a loose layer of plastic wrap for moisture protection.

3. Secure Properly: Use packing tape to secure materials without over-tightening, maintaining airflow around furniture.

4. Floor Protection: Place plastic sheeting on your storage unit floor to prevent ground moisture from seeping up.

While climate controlled units maintain consistent temperature and humidity, proper wrapping remains essential for dust protection and preventing scratches from neighboring items. This combination provides optimal protection for wooden, leather, and antique furniture.
