When Should You Use a Climate Controlled Storage Unit?
Delicate or high-value items such as artwork, electronics, wooden furniture, upholstered furniture, business documents, and inventory will be better protected in a climate-controlled storage unit where extreme temperature fluctuations and humidity can be controlled

Climate Controlled Storage and Temperature Controlled Storage
Our climate controlled storage facility in Suffolk County, NY provides security and protection for your all your storage needs.
Extremely high temperatures can cause certain materials to dry out, while extremes to the other end cause frost damage from freezing. Too much moisture in the environment can cause damage as well as too little moisture in the air.
With the use of HVAC systems (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) temperature is regulated in a climate controlled storage unit. These units are insulated and maintain a consistent temperature range.
Humidity control utilizes dehumidifiers to manage humidity levels which are used in conjunction with temperature control to keep a steady level of humidity in the unit.
The general level of humidity that keeps most materials in good condition year-round regardless of outside weather is 55% humidity.
Climate Controlled Storage Units Have Better Air Quality
Air quality is often overlooked when searching for storage units. A non-climate controlled storage unit is not sealed the same way an indoor climate controlled unit is. When storing sensitive items such as electronics, documents or artwork, clean air is a factor you want to consider as a high priority. Indoor self-storage facilities with climate control are well sealed. The constant circulation air ensures a consistent flow of clean air. Sensitive items will benefit from clean air. This will also prevent you from needing to occasionally open your unit to get some fresh air inside.
Greater Protection From Dust & Debris
The atmosphere in climate-controlled storage units tends to be freer from dust and debris in the air. Sealed and insulated floors, roofs and walls in the well-sealed climate-controlled storage units are less susceptible to tracked in dirt and water. This also makes it less likely to have rodents or pests lingering. This provides greater protection for sensitive materials and possessions whether you store them short or long term.
Protection from Extreme Temperatures With Climate Controlled Storage Units
You want to protect your delicate items from extreme temperature changes. Especially if you live in a region that experiences drastic temperatures. Sensitive items such as wood furniture, musical instruments as well as fine art and business records can suffer warping, cracking and other damage due to extreme temperature fluctuations.
Our climate controlled storage units are kept at consistent temperatures above freezing and below 80 or 90 degrees.
When storing the following items, especially for extended periods you should choose a climate controlled storage unit:
✓ Electronics
✓ Photographs
✓ Artwork
✓ Antiques
✓ Vinyl records
✓ Wooden furniture

✓ Books, comics and other paper items
