If you're considering storage in DeWitt, you may be wondering:
Do I really need climate controlled storage?
In Iowa, temperatures swing from hot and humid summers to freezing winters. Those changes can damage certain items over time.
Here’s what you need to know before choosing your unit.
Climate controlled storage maintains a more consistent temperature and reduces humidity levels inside the unit.
That means your belongings are protected from:
Extreme heat ☀️
Freezing temperatures ❄️
Moisture buildup
Warping and cracking
This type of unit is ideal for sensitive or valuable items.
You should strongly consider climate control if you are storing:
Wooden furniture
Leather furniture
Electronics and TVs 💻
Important documents
Photos and photo albums
Antiques
Mattresses
Musical instruments 🎸
Business inventory
Temperature and humidity changes can cause wood to expand, electronics to fail, and fabrics to develop mildew.
Standard (non-climate controlled) units work well for:
Lawn equipment
Tools
Metal items
Plastic bins
Outdoor furniture
Garage items
If the items can handle temperature swings in a garage or shed, they are usually fine in standard storage.
Climate controlled units typically cost slightly more per month.
But replacing:
Warped furniture
Mold-damaged mattresses
Ruined electronics
… costs much more.
If you are storing valuable, sentimental, or business-related items, climate control is often worth the peace of mind.
If you are unsure which option is best, ask yourself:
Would I store this item in my attic or garage long term?
Would temperature or moisture damage it?
Is it expensive or sentimental?
If the answer is yes, climate control is the safer choice.
