Climate Control

Importance of Climate-Controlled Storage

A climate-controlled storage is one where the storage is managed according to what the tenant stored in the unit. Usually, a heater keeps your unit warm during winter and cool during summer. At Noah’s Ark Storage, we use humidifiers and dehumidifiers to manage the moisture levels in our storage units and keep your property from getting damaged.

How Hot Can a Standard Storage Unit Get?

Storage units that lack storage climate control can get to temperatures up to 120 degrees. Extreme heat can damage your items if the temperature is not controlled in such a unit. On the other hand, if the storage space gets too cold, it will destroy your property, like furniture, electronics, and musical instruments.

Also, it could cause sensitive items to crack, shatter, or function inappropriately. Books, photos, artwork, and clothing can also be destroyed
by mold and mildew. Other items that need climate-controlled storage are:
● Furs
● Medical supplies
● DVDs/CDs/Video
● Documents
● Family heirlooms and antiques
● Sporting equipment
● Lawn mowers
● RVs, boats, and cars

How Storage Facilities Control Temperature in a Storage

Your belongings are special to you, with some having sentimental meanings. So you cannot store them anywhere; you must do so in a storage facility you can trust. Therefore, ensure the self storage facility has the following qualities:

• First, they increase the insulation, programmable thermostats, and HVAC units during construction. This allows them to control the manipulation of the unit’s climate.
• Second, they install double doors, similar to those made for restaurant coolers, to trap climate conditions.
• Thirdly, they add extra measures, such as rerouting the entrance holes that result from plumbing or heating work. This decreases the amount of outlets and dust that flows into the unit. Usually, what storage facilities do is create a few entrances to limit unwelcome weather conditions.
