Climate Controlled
Keep It Cool
Our climate controlled units provide our clients with peace of mind that that their possessions will be protected. The harsh conditions of our extreme Florida climate can wreck havoc on stored items over time.
Why climate controlled storage?
Severe hot or cold weather can damage items stored in storage units. Important documentation for your home or business, artwork, photographs, computer equipment and electronics, wood or leather furniture, books, clothing, and other valuables can be destroyed if not properly protected. Climate-controlled storage units provide the ideal solution for storing your personal or business-related items.
Climate control maintains a steady temperature of 55–80° using central air conditioning and heat. Maintaining a controlled environment prevents warping, cracking and splitting, rust, yellowing and corrosion, mold, mildew and bacteria overgrowth, Infestation of wasps, mice, termites and other vermin.

Step 3: Consider the Value of What You Plan to Store
If you are packing away electronics, products or equipment that are covered by insurance, and replacing them would mean only an inconvenience, you may decide that a standard storage space is sufficient. If, however, you are storing items of sentimental value or historical documents for your business, the additional cost may be insignificant, especially if it gives you peace of mind. Whether your items would be costly and inconvenient to replace, or irreplaceable, if you are going to pay to store them in a climate controlled environment.
