One of the first things I ask prospective tenants when they call or stop in is whether or not they will need a climate controlled unit. Rent on a climate controlled unit are higher and there are fewer available units. So, do you really need one?
The answer depends on a few factors. First, the weather; are the temperatures likely to go to the extremes? That is, are the temperatures likely to fall below 32 degrees or rise above 90 degrees? Here at StoreRight Self Storage in Brooksville, FL the former is possible but not at this time of year, the later is almost guaranteed. And how about the humidity? Here, we do have our dry season but it is several months away, the soupy weather has just begun.
Next, consider what you are storing and what effects these weather extremes will have on them. While lawn and yard equipment and furniture are not likely to suffer from the heat and humidity, computers and electronics, old photos and important documents, antiques and family heirlooms are not going to fair very well.
Other things to consider are whether or not your items could be subject to warping and cracking or mildew and rust. Will you need to spend time in your unit frequently?
Once you have determined that you do need a climate controlled unit, plan ahead. Here at the Brooksville StoreRight Self Storage office we welcome walk-ins; however, it would be in your best interest to call ahead and see if we have a unit available in t he size you need. You can also reserve a unit online or by phone based on availability.
With a little preplanning, your storage experience will run very smoothly.
