A-1 Self Storage | August 7, 2016 @ 12:00 AM

Climate controlled storage units are convenient when it comes to storing your furniture, antiques, musical instruments, or any fine art. Climate controlled storage units keep items in a constant set temperature. If you are going to be placing valuable items in storage, you will want to consider a climate-controlled unit.

  • Furniture – Wooden and leather furniture are sensitive to extreme climates and should be stored in climate-controlled units. Wooden furniture (bed frames, tables, chairs, dressers, and more ) can be damaged when it is exposed to too much moisture.
  • Appliances – Your household appliances, including washers, dryers, microwaves, and refrigerators, all need climate-controlled storage. Climate control protects electronic parts from cracking and rusting,
  • Musical Instruments – Musical instruments are very delicate and need to be handled carefully, especially if storing them for an extended period. Humidity can dry out wood instruments such as guitars and pianos. Climate control will reduce moisture and help eliminate dust, which will preserve your musical instruments.
  • Photography & Artwork – When storing photo,s climate control is a must. If temperatures get too hot and humid and photos are stacked on top of one another, the prints can start to blend.

Properly storing your items during the warm summer months will help protect them from the heat. Climate control is offered at select A-1 Self Storage locations. Check with your facility to confirm.
