It’s a term you will see throughout our website. Climate controlled self storage is a hallmark of our business. When you rent a unit from Tidewater Drive Storage Center, you gain access to a clean space which maintains the ideal temperature year round. Consistency in climate brings an added layer of protection to your belongings, and such storage has advantages compared to non-climate controlled units.
In a climate-controlled facility, temperature and humidity is managed within the units. This option is beneficial for many reasons, including:
- Reduced risk of mold on certain fabrics
- Reduced risk of warped wood
- Reduced damage to certain electronic equipment, like flatscreens
- Reduced risk of cracking and splitting
The climate control option is beneficial for storing specialty items, too. If you have a large record or book collection, for example, you don’t want extreme temperatures to harm these items. They need to be stored in a place where it won’t get too hot and where the environment isn’t dusty.
When shopping for the right self-storage space for your belongings, it’s important to ask about climate control. Not every facility offers this feature. Storing your furniture and boxes in a unit without climate control may keep everything secure, but Hampton Roads weather can be unpredictable. Moments of heat and cold and humidity can affect your storage inventory.
