What is Climate Controlled Storage?

Climate controlled storage units are one of the fastest growing segments of the self storage market. The units within a climate controlled storage facility maintain a consistent temperature inside each individual storage unit during all seasons and weather events. Unlike traditional drive-up storage units, Climate controlled units are typically housed within a centralized building or facility that allows for a connection with a centralized heating and cooling system. Climate controlled storage is often the smartest storage solution for people who are storing temperature sensitive items in regions like the Tri-Cities where dramatic changes in weather are common.

Is Climate Controlled Storage necessary in Richland?

Whether or not you need climate controlled storage depends entirely on what kind of items that you plan to store in your unit. However, the list of items that are immune to the effects of temperature is pretty short. When considering Storage in Richland and Kennewick, our dry climate typically lends itself to successful long-term storage of your valuable items. Even so, our weather includes large fluctuations in temperatures between seasons and sometimes even in a single day. It’s not unusual for Tri-Cities residents to experience temperatures in excess of 100 degrees during the Summer months and well below freezing temperatures during the Winter months. Without climate controlled storage, it’s hard to guarantee that those kinds of conditions won’t take a toll on your valuables.

There is some extra cost associated with climate controlled units due to the additional infrastructure and energy required to maintain temperature. However, Storage Station offers the best prices for climate controlled units in the Tri Cities.  At Storage Station our climate controlled units start with our smallest storage space, a 5’x5’ unit that is available for as little as $79 per month.
