The climate of Earth is a climate of change. Zooming into the Midwest of the United States, that seems like an understatement. It can be 65 degrees and sunny in January, but then later that same day the temperature will dip into the single digits with freezing rain leaving a layer of ice an inch thick in its wake. In the self storage business, a storage facility that offers climate controlled self storage units has it in their best interest to make sure its tenants know the benefits of putting their belongings in a climate controlled self storage unit. So what is so great about a climate controlled self storage unit?

Climate controlled self storage units can be recommended for a variety of reasons. High end electronics, such as high definition plasma televisions, flat panel computer monitors, inkjet printers, etc. need to be stored in a climate controlled self storage unit. These are items that can be extreme-temperature sensitive or temperature variance sensitive. With the plasma television and computer monitor, the screen is lit with a liquid crystal display or LCD. Being that the crystals are truly suspended in a liquid. Just like any liquid, this crystal or liquid mix can freeze, causing irreparable damage to either the television or the monitor. In a standard unit, as soon as the temperature hits 32 degrees, this type of damage is a possibility. By putting it in a climate controlled self storage unit, however, the items are kept at 70 degrees all year round. So when it is cold outside, the items will be kept warm. Then when it is hot outside, the items will be kept cool, just like keeping them inside your living room.

Electronics are not the only items that can benefit from a climate controlled self storage unit. A climate controlled self storage unit is a perfect solution for a tenant who is moving in other temperature sensitive items such as leather furniture, wooden furniture, antiques, artwork, photographs, or anything else that would not be a good choice to be kept in a regular house garage. These items are subject to warping due to temperature changes, especially the wooden furniture. Everything else could be subject to mold and or mildew due to high humidity levels as well. Given that climate controlled self storage units not only control the temperature, but also the humidity as well, the items will be extra protected by the controlled environment they will be stored in.

The third most common need for a climate controlled self storage unit would be for pharmaceutical representatives that need to store their merchandise and stock of prescription drugs. Many of these drugs can only be stored under specific conditions.

So whether the tenant needs to store items for their business, temperature sensitive items, or high end electronics their needs can be meet with climate controlled self storage. It provides a real solution for the tenant and also adds to the storage facilities bottom line as these units are typically priced at a premium for the service.
