Why Would You Need Climate Controlled Storage?

If you believe that there is little more to storage of your belongings than placing a number of boxes into a garage like hole in the wall, close the door, click the padlock, and pocket the key, it is time to think again! Climate controlled storage is a property management trend that is causing many self storage and also professional storage centers to update and upgrade their facilities. Understanding that consumers enjoy the idea of having their belongings safely secured in a facility where the highs of the summer and the lows of the winter will not ravage what is left for safe keeping, climate controlled facilities have found a new niche and are actively catering to customers property management demands.

The benefits of having climate controlled storage for the property management industry are obvious:

• While some items, like spare clothes and extra gardening equipment, can weather the heat and the cold with no problem, other items are more sensitive. Vinyl records are known to warp in the heat while books are known to trap the moisture that is sometimes found in the cold winter air.
• Stamp collections are tremendously susceptible to moisture and unless a facility is climate controlled, it is not advisable to store them.
• Interestingly, climate controlled units are also less susceptible to vermin infestations, since insects will not have the heat or cold induced clues that signal mating, egg laying, or pupating. Instead, they will most likely refrain from taking up residence in a climate controlled storage facility that lacks the moisture needed for their survival.
