If you have things to put in storage, you might want a climate-controlled unit. Some good news is most storage facilities have some of these units available. In fact, a good number of facilities will only have units with climate control. Depending on what you are going to be storing, you may need one of these units. However, sometimes having one can be great for other reasons. Here are 6 examples of reasons why you may want to look specifically for one of these units.

1: Your collectibles will be safe

A common thing kept in storage units is collectibles. These often consist of things made from paper, wood, fabric, and metal. All these materials should be stored in the right temperature and humidity. 

2: Your furniture will stay in good condition

Furniture is also often made from materials that can be damaged by extreme temperatures or humidity. A climate-controlled unit prevents them from being ruined. 

3: Your vehicle will be safe

Putting your project car, your boat, your motor home, or your other type of vehicle in storage helps prevent it from being damaged from the weather, stolen, or vandalized. A unit with controlled temperatures and humidity also prevents damage to the interior, as well as the metal parts. 

4: Your merchandise will remain in proper condition for selling it

If you have to keep your merchandise somewhere, you can set a unit up like a small storage area where everything can be easily inventoried and easy to grab when you need it. When kept at the right temperature and humidity, you will know that your products will still be in great condition, so you can grab them right out of the unit and send them to your buyers without any issues. 

5: You can spend time in your unit without being uncomfortable

If you are in a hot unit, then it can get so hot it can become distressing. In a cold unit, you can find that you even have trouble opening boxes, with your fingers hurting from the low temperature. However, when you choose to store everything in a unit that has controlled temperature and humidity, you will feel just fine inside the unit year-round. 

6: You will know anything you store in the future will be fine

You might not have anything to store now that requires a certain environment. However, you may have other things you will want to add to the unit over time. When you rent one that has a controlled climate now, you can add whatever you want in the future, knowing you won't have to worry.
