What is Climate Controlled Storage and Do I Need It?

It’s a beautiful mid-August morning here at StoreRight Self Storage in Brooksville, Florida, the sky is blue with puffy white clouds, the temperature is 87 degrees and  humidity is 72%. Translated it’s HOT and HUMID AND we’re still hours away from the hottest part of the day.

Our lives here at StoreRight Brooksville depend on air conditioning in our homes, cars, shopping centers and offices. But what about our storage units?

A climate controlled unit is designed to keep the temperature and humidity levels below that of the outside world at this time of year but it is not set like your home a/c unit at a nippy 66 degrees. So, do you need climate controlled storage?

This, of course, depends on what you are storing. Many items such as lawn furniture and garden equipment being designed for outdoor use certainly do not need to be stored in a climate controlled unit. On the other end of the spectrum, expensive leather furniture and electronic equipment do. So, think carefully about what you are storing and weigh the cost options. A 10 foot X 10 foot climate controlled unit may cost 40% more than the same size  standard unit. It may make more sense  financially to rent two smaller units than to rent one climate controlled unit.

At StoreRight Self Storage in Brooksville we make every effort to maintain our grounds, buildings and equipment; however, air conditioners like all mechanical equipment are subject to break down and failures. visit your unit from time to time and report any problems you may find to the office We also recommend that you protect yourself by insuring the contents if your unit and never store irreplaceable heirlooms or antiques.
