Climate controlled self storage units are used to store personal effects that cannot be stored at home due to space constraints. Documents, fur coats, musical instruments, computers and other electronics, antiques, furniture and paintings are only some items that are stored in these storage units.

Making use of a climate controlled storage unit can protect your possessions from certain weather conditions. Climate controlled self storage units are commonly found indoors, and this protects your possessions from being damaged from pests and insects.

There are a number of things you should keep in mind when leasing a climate controlled self storage unit:

Ensure that the warehouse is conveniently located near your home. Also keep in mind that the roads going to the storage facility must be easily accessible even during bad weather.

Make a list of the items you intend to store into the storage unit, so that you can determine the size of storage unit to lease.

Make a careful inspection of the storage site, and ensure that the storage units are well kept and clean. You should seek another storage facility if you find signs of rat droppings or dead insects within the premises of the storage facility. Facilities are not well kept when there is evidence of overgrown plants around the storage facility. This is because vermin tend to hide in plants, and can make its way to your storage unit.

It will also be helpful to know the hours that you will be allowed to access your things.

Find out what type of security or surveillance is provided by the facility. This could be a key decision when you are thinking of storing valuable items. The building should be equipped with smoke alarms and fire extinguishers, as well as ceiling sprinklers.

A good storage company should have special alarms that alert the company when temperatures or humidity reaches below a certain level. The facility should also have back up power generators, to protect your assets from being damaged in case of a power failure.

Above are only some factors you should keep in mind when leasing climate controlled self storage units. The best way to find good storage companies is to ask the people you know for recommendations.
