STORAGE TYPES

Climate Controlled Storage

Protect your temperature-sensitive belongings with climate controlled storage. Maintain consistent temperature and humidity levels year-round to keep your items in perfect condition.

What is Climate Controlled Storage?

Climate controlled storage units maintain a consistent temperature range, typically between 15°C and 25°C (55°F and 80°F), throughout the year. These specialized units protect your belongings from extreme temperature fluctuations, humidity changes, and environmental damage.

Unlike standard storage units, climate controlled facilities actively regulate both temperature and humidity levels. This creates an ideal environment for items sensitive to heat, cold, or moisture, ensuring they remain in pristine condition regardless of the weather outside.

In Canada's diverse climate—from humid summers to freezing winters—climate controlled storage provides essential protection for valuable and delicate items. The controlled environment prevents warping, cracking, mold growth, and deterioration that can occur in traditional storage units.

Temperature Control

Maintains consistent temperatures year-round, protecting items from extreme heat and freezing conditions.

Humidity Regulation

Controls moisture levels to prevent mold, mildew, warping, and corrosion of sensitive materials.

Indoor Protection

Units are located inside fully enclosed buildings, providing additional protection from dust, pests, and the elements.

Why Choose Climate Controlled Storage?

Protect Valuables

Ideal for antiques, artwork, musical instruments, electronics, and other temperature-sensitive items that require stable conditions.

Prevent Damage

Eliminate risks of warping, cracking, fading, and degradation caused by temperature extremes and humidity fluctuations.

Year-Round Comfort

Access your belongings in a comfortable environment, whether you're visiting in summer heat or winter cold.

Cleaner Environment

Indoor units mean less exposure to dust, dirt, and outdoor pollutants that can accumulate on your stored items.

Better Air Quality

Controlled ventilation systems maintain fresh air circulation, preventing musty odors and stale conditions.

Peace of Mind

Rest easy knowing your valuable possessions are protected in a professionally monitored and regulated environment.

What Should You Store in Climate Controlled Units?

Standard Storage Works Fine For:

•Metal tools and equipment
•Plastic storage containers
•Outdoor furniture and equipment
•Sporting goods (non-leather)
•Holiday decorations (plastic/metal)

Pro Tip: If you're unsure whether your items need climate control, consider their value and sensitivity to temperature. When in doubt, climate controlled storage offers the best protection.

Things to Consider When Choosing Climate Controlled Storage

Cost vs. Protection

Climate controlled units typically cost 20-50% more than standard storage. Consider the replacement value of your items when deciding if the extra protection is worth the investment.

Storage Duration

For long-term storage (6+ months), climate control becomes increasingly important. Even items that can handle short-term exposure may deteriorate over extended periods.

Location & Access

Climate controlled units are always indoors, often on upper floors. Ensure the facility has elevators or loading equipment if you're storing heavy items.

Size Availability

Climate controlled units may have limited size options compared to standard storage. Check available sizes at your preferred facility before committing.

Insurance Coverage

Even with climate control, verify your insurance coverage. Some valuable items may require additional protection beyond standard facility insurance.

Facility Standards

Ask about specific temperature ranges and monitoring systems. Not all climate controlled facilities maintain the same standards of environmental control.
