Deciding If You Need Climate Controlled Self-Storage

A trend which has fast caught on in the self-storage industry is the emergence of climate controlled self-storage facilities. Climate controlled self-storage facilities were developed mostly in response to complaints that goods stored in non-climate controlled self-storage facilities were getting damaged by moisture and humidity, which brought about molds and mildew. Climate controlled self-storage facilities are built with specialized features to prevent moisture and the problems it comes with, including and especially mildew and molds. Although climate-controlled self-storage facilities represent advancement in self-storage, they might not be necessary for everyone. Furthermore, space in these climate-controlled self-storage facilities is typically more expensive than in non climate-controlled self-storage facilities.

When deciding whether or not you need climate-controlled self-storage, your main consideration is likely to be the type of goods you plan to store. If, for example, you are looking for a self-storage facility to store goods that are not affected by moisture and related conditions, then going for climate-controlled self-storage may be superfluous. On the same note, even if the goods are affected by moisture and related conditions, but are in a reliable moisture proof packaging, then going for a climate-controlled self-storage facility might still be superfluous for you.
Another factor you might consider is how long and in what season of the year you need self-storage. If, for example, you are just looking for a self-storage facility to store your household goods for a day or two between moves or over the weekend to create space for house decoration during a dry summer, then a climate controlled self-storage facility might be superfluous for you -- even for goods that are likely to be affected by moisture-related conditions, as a couple of days is not usually enough time for these conditions to start taking their toll.
