How Climate Controlled Units Protect Your Belongings Year-Round

Not all storage units are created equal, especially when it comes to protecting your most sensitive belongings from weather extremes. Whether you're storing heirloom furniture, electronics, paperwork, or inventory, the environment inside your unit matters just as much as the space itself. That’s where climate controlled units come in.

At Master Storage 365, we understand how temperature and humidity can impact your items. Our climate controlled units are designed to maintain consistent conditions throughout the year, giving you peace of mind no matter what the forecast says.

What Is a Climate Controlled Storage Unit?


A climate controlled unit is an indoor storage space that maintains a steady temperature (usually between 55°F and 85°F) and regulates humidity levels. Unlike traditional units, these are typically housed in well-insulated buildings with sealed floors, walls, and roofs to keep outside weather from affecting your stored belongings.

But why is this level of control important? Because extreme heat, freezing cold, and moisture can cause irreversible damage to many common household and commercial items.

Why Year-Round Climate Control Matters


Weather doesn’t take a break, and neither should your storage protection. Here's how climate controlled units keep your belongings safe every season:
  • Summer Protection: High temperatures can warp wood, melt plastic, and damage delicate electronics. Heat also encourages mold growth, especially if humidity levels spike.
  • Winter Defense: Cold air can cause materials like leather, glass, and metal to crack, expand, or contract. Paper products and fabrics can also become brittle.
  • Humidity Control: Even if the temperature seems mild, excessive moisture in the air can lead to mold, mildew, corrosion, and musty odors.
  • Allergy Prevention: Consistent air quality helps reduce dust mites, pollen, and other allergens from settling into your belongings, especially helpful for sensitive households or businesses storing fabrics or upholstered goods.

What Items Benefit Most?


Certain items are especially vulnerable to temperature swings and humidity. Climate controlled storage is ideal if you're storing:
  • Wooden or leather furniture
  • Electronics and appliances
  • Vinyl records or musical instruments
  • Artworks, photos, or books
  • Important documents or medical supplies
  • Collectibles, antiques, or wine

Essentially, if you wouldn’t leave it in an attic or garage for a year, you shouldn’t leave it in a non-climate-controlled unit either.

Indoor Security & Extra Peace of Mind


All our climate controlled units at Master Storage 365 are located within secured indoor facilities, which adds another layer of protection. These buildings are monitored, access-controlled, and only accessible to tenants. Indoor units are also better protected from dust, pests, and sudden storms, making them the smarter choice for long-term storage.

We know how important your possessions are, whether they’re personal keepsakes or critical business assets. Our goal is to make sure that what goes into storage stays in the same condition when it comes out. With climate control, you're not just renting space, you're investing in protection.
