Why Do I Want A Climate Controlled Storage Unit?



Climate Controlled Storage

Climate controlled storage maintain temperature inside at a constant level. There is no standard for climate controlled storage units Fort Smith AR offers, but most of them are kept between 55 and 85 degrees F and around 55% humidity. 

There are sensible items that may warp, crack or discolor, if stored in a regular storage unit. A list of these objects includes:


  • cosmetics & toiletries
  • art, wine, antiques (e.g. collectibles)
  • documents, paperwork, books
  • Electronics and media
  • Candles
  • Medications and medical supplies
  • Musical instruments (e.g., pianos, violins)
  • Bedding and mattresses


If you plan to store such objects, you must ask yourself whether you actually need a climate controlled unit. Now that you are familiar with it is, can you say that you really need it?

If you are not sure whether you need a climate controlled storage unit, here is a helpful checklist.


  • Am I storing anything that may discolor, crack or warp?
  • Am I storing in heat and humid weather?
  • How long will I store my items?


Always ask whether a unit is climate controlled, because assuming it does would be a mistake; many traditional units do not have climate control.
