Climate Controlled Storage

Standard self storage units are ideal for storing all kinds of personal and business items. But a standard unit might not quite cut it if you’ve got some temperature sensitive belongings or are looking for a comfortable unit whenever you stop by to organize, drop off, or pick up belongings. In those cases, a climate controlled storage unit might be just the ticket.

Here at Compass Self Storage, many of our storage facilities across the country feature climate controlled storage units in a wide variety of sizes. But what are climate controlled storage units, and what can you put in them? We’ve got you covered.

What Is Climate Controlled Storage?

Climate controlled storage units are storage units with some sort of temperature control. While many climate controlled storage units are indoor storage units, they do not have to be. Climate controlled storage units can come in outdoor, indoor, and drive-up varieties, depending on availability at the Compass Self Storage facility nearest you.

At What Temperature Are Climate Controlled Units Kept?

When you rent a climate controlled storage unit at Compass Self Storage, you can trust that your unit will be kept at a temperature range between 55 degrees and 80 degrees. Our climate controlled storage units are heated in the winter and air conditioned in the summer to maintain their temperature year-round.

What Can You Store in Climate Controlled Storage?

You can store anything in a climate controlled storage unit that you could in any other kind of storage unit—provided you can fit it in the unit, of course. But climate controlled storage units are excellent places to store valuable or temperature-sensitive items. Some common items our customers store in their climate controlled storage units include:

• Collectibles, family heirlooms, and sentimental items
• Wooden furniture, appliances, and musical instruments
• Makeup, medications, paint, toiletries, and other chemicals
• Leather, lace, wedding dresses, and other sensitive clothing items
