3 Questions to Ask When Renting Climate-Controlled Storage Space

Your home doesn’t have to feel crowded. If you feel like those bulky antique pieces of furniture are getting in your way but you don’t want to get rid of them, then you should consider renting a climate-controlled storage unit. Ask these important questions before choosing a local storage and moving company.

What Will You Store in Your Unit?

You can place your valuable possessions, like family heirlooms, in climate-controlled storage spaces. That said, other items also require protection from the weather. Books, pictures, and important documents are easily affected by the changes in temperature. If not kept properly, they can suffer from mildew, mold,  and wrinkling conditions.

Are They Valuable?

Assess the dollar value of your stuff.  Make sure that your movers have appropriate  insurance to cover any potential damage. Rent a storage space where your belongings will be safe and secure.

How Long Will You Keep Your Things in the Storage?

It is advisable to rent a climate-controlled unit if you are planning to store your things for a lengthy period of time. Within that time span, ask yourself what kind of weather your possessions will have to endure.

Have You Checked the Storage Facility That You will Pay For?

Make sure to personally visit the site. You will have to ask about further details, including what kind of coverage and insurance they give.
