Temperature-Controlled Storage

Many of our locations offer temperature-controlled storage. This is an extra level of protection and defense to protect items like:

  • Appliances
  • Art
  • Electronics
  • Collectibles
  • Photos

Climate-Controlled Storage

The main difference between temperature-controlled storage and climate-controlled storage is that climate-controlled also protects against humidity. If it occurs, even mild dampness can damage:
