Is this your first time looking into climate-controlled storage solutions for your belongings? If so,…
Moving and dealing with clutter can be stressful! If you have been in the process of moving before, you know how agonizing it can be to go through all of your things – it seems like an endless process of deciding what you are going to get rid of and what things are going to come with you.
What do you do if you have limited space in your new home? What if you buy new furniture, but you don’t want to get rid of your old furniture? What if you have sensitive belongings that don't do well in changing temperatures?
Climate Controlled Storage is the Solution
If you don’t have space for your things or there are some items that you just can’t part ways with, consider a climate controlled storage space. Whether you are in the process of moving or you just need some extra space to store your valuable belongings, climate controlled storage spaces can be a great way to free up your home and keep your belongings safe. You may be surprised to learn some of the following benefits of climate controlled storage spaces.
Protection Against Extreme Temperatures
One of the greatest benefits of using a climate controlled storage space to store your belongings in is to protect your belongings and valuables from extreme temperature change. Extreme temperatures fluctuations can take a toll on your items in a typical storage unit. The change in temperature can warp the wood on your furniture, wreck your antiques, hurt your electronics, and destroy books or important documents.
However, a climate controlled storage unit keeps your belongings at a moderate temperature so you won’t have to stress about them getting destroyed by changes in weather and temperature. Most climate controlled storage units will keep your storage space well above freezing and beneath 80 or 90 degrees so that your belongings don’t get disfigured or destroyed.
Circulates Fresh Air
You may notice that most standard storage spaces don’t have any way of circulating the air in your storage unit. These storage units are sealed differently than climate controlled storage units are and don’t allow proper air circulation. Poor air quality in storage units that are not climate controlled can also lead to the deterioration of your items and valuables.
Thankfully, climate controlled storage spaces are sealed and ventilated in a way that provides fresh air in your storage space. This is ideal for keeping books, documents, and furniture healthy.
Guards Against Dust and Debris
Most standard storage spaces that don’t use climate control technology are not insulated very well. The poor insulation in these spaces leaves cracks and openings where dust and debris can creep all over your stored items, and also allows water in from rain, storms, or problems with plumbing in the building.
Climate controlled storage spaces use higher quality materials to insulate their ceilings, walls, and floors to prevent dust and debris from accumulating in your storage unit. This also helps protect your things from small flooding incidents and inclement weather.
Gives You Peace of Mind
If you live somewhere that is prone to extreme or even normal changes in temperature and/or weather, you aren’t going to get as much protection for your things in a standard storage space. As mentioned previously, changes in temperature, weather, and humidity can seriously damage the items that you are trying to preserve. Consequently, you will be constantly checking your storage space for damage.
With a climate controlled storage space, you can put those stresses to rest. Having a well-insulated storage space with temperature regulation technology will keep your valuables protected from water damage, dust, debris, humidity, poor air quality, and changes in temperature.
Ideal for A Variety of Valuables
Unlike standard, musty storage spaces, climate controlled storage spaces are ideal for storing and protecting a wide variety of valuables. Though you may be hesitant about putting anything expensive into storage, with a quality climate controlled storage space you will be able to protect the valuables that you don’t have room for in your home.
Here are just a few valuable items that climate controlled storage spaces can take care of:
- Antiques
- Old or new wooden furniture
- Televisions and electronics
- Books and magazines
- Important documents and photos
- Upholstered furniture
- Musical instruments
