Climate-Controlled Storage: The Best Way to Beat the Heat

Louisiana summer can get quite brutal as the temperatures heat-up across the state. In fact, we have some very humid months, and above average humidity throughout the year. And if you think you’ll get a break in the winter, think again. There is never a reprieve from the sweltering humidity. Without climate control, you might be risking damage to your belongings. Triple AAA Storage is here to explain why climate control is the best self-storage solution.

Why Choose Climate-Controlled Storage Units?

Climate-controlled storage units stay a constant temperature inside. These units come in handy in areas where the climate changes drastically throughout the year. Heat, humidity, and cold do a number on temperature-sensitive items, causing everything from warping to cracking and fading.

Climate-controlled self-storage puts an end to climate-related damage. This damage happens when a sudden or an extreme change in temperature occurs. When you leave your belongings exposed to extreme temperatures, they may crack, buckle, or shatter depending on the material. Moving your items into a climate-controlled unit eliminates the problem and keeps everything safe and in pristine condition.

Temperature-Sensitive Items

Though not everything requires climate-controlled storage, it’s better to be safe than sorry. Wooden furniture may not be affected too much by the cold, but the summer humidity can damage it. Items such as leather upholstery and clothing are sensitive to cold and heat. Cold temperatures may cause the leather to stiffen or to crack more easily. Some temperature-sensitive items include:

• Electronics such as stereos and DVD players
• Household appliances such as washers and microwaves
• Photo albums and paper documents
• Collectibles such as stamps and comic books
• Musical instruments of every type
• Delicate and vintage clothing
