What is Climate Controlled Storage?

Climate Controlled refers to the conditioning (heating or cooling) of the air for the indoor units.  The building includes an air handling unit capable of keeping the space within a temperature range of 55 to 85 degrees F year round and a humidity range of 50% to 60% in the warmer months.

Why would someone choose to use climate controlled storage?

Storing certain items in non-climate controlled storage for a long period of time may cause damage due to high humidity in warmer months, high temperatures over the summer and freezing temperatures in the winter.

Climate controlled storage provides extra protection from the weather.
