Find Climate Controlled Self-Storage Units Near You with SelfStorage.com

Climate-controlled storage, or "Temperature Controlled Storage" is an amenity many storage facilities offer. Climate control regulates a storage unit's indoor temperature between 50 to 80 degrees fahrenheit and maintains a constant humidity level year-round.

Do I need climate control?

Climate control is always a safe bet when renting self-storage. Because climate-controlled storage units cost more than traditional storage units, it’s best to determine whether or not you truly need climate control before shelling out the extra bucks.

Climate-controlled storage is recommended if you are:

• Storing in an area prone to extreme drops or rises in temperature. (For example, climate control may not be as urgent in California as it would be in Texas.)
• Storing for a long period of time.
• Storing extremely valuable or climate-sensitive items.
• Planning to visit your storage unit frequently. Having climate-controlled storage would make your visit much more comfortable during the summer and winter months.

Climate-sensitive items include:

• Media and electronics: Climate control will protect against humidity that could damage internal components.
• Valuable apparel: Highly recommended if you’re storing wedding dresses, vintage clothing, designer items, etc.
• Wood or leather furniture: Most furniture has some organic material on it, making it prime breeding ground for mold and mildew. Climate control will protect against both long-term damage and unpleasant odors.
• Books: The top priority here is keeping your books dry. If you live in a humid area, get climate control to protect against mold and mildew.
• Wine: Many storage facilities offer storage lockers specifically catered to optimal wine storage.
• Musical instruments: An absolute must for keeping your instruments in playable condition.
• Glass, metal and plastics: Climate control will protect your items from warping, melting and discoloring.

Specific temperature ranges for climate control and air conditioned/heated storage units may vary by facility, so always clarify with your store manager beforehand.
