Climate Controlled Mini Storage

Climate controlled storage is a type of self storage that is designed to prevent mold, mildew and moisture problems. Climate controlled storage is ideal for antiques storage, electronics storage, furniture storage, wood storage, craft storage, cosmetics storage, musical instrument storage, storing paintings, candle storage and for storing other temperature sensitive items. 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.

More important than the exact temperature of a climate controlled storage space is the level of humidity in the storage unit. Self storage facilities should keep the humidity lower than 50 percent to protect the items within the storage unit from exposure to extreme fluctuation in humidity as well as temperature.

Self storage businesses typically control the temperature and humidity level of a wing or floor of climate controlled storage units, rather than allowing tenants to control the temperature and humidity of each individual self storage unit. This is more efficient for the operational cost of the storage facility and also ensure the tenants a constant temperature and humidity level. Because storage businesses control sections of climate controlled units, the access to individual climate controlled spaces is usually through a hallway, which cuts down on the amount of dust that may otherwise enter from direct access to the outdoors.

Climate controlled storage becomes even more specialized by offering wine storage. The humidity and temperature of a wine storage unit is even more constant than that of a regular climate controlled storage space. Some climate controlled storage spaces are also specifically designed for food storage or prescription drug storage.

If you find yourself searching online for self storage and may be looking for climate controlled storage, there are some details you should pay attention to as you compare storage facilities. The definition of climate controlled storage may vary from one self storage business to another. Therefore, it is important to ask what features are included with climate controlled storage units at each self storage facility you may be considering.

Self storage prices vary with storage demand, creating higher prices in urban areas and lower self storage prices in rural areas. Storage rates also vary with size and storage unit specialty. When shopping for a climate controlled storage unit, you should keep in mind that the cost of this specialized unit is typically a few dollars more per month than the traditional self storage unit. You should also expect to pay a higher rate for even more specialized storage such as wine storage or food storage.

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.
