When You Should Use Climate Controlled Storage?

In a city like Boston—where weather swings from freezing winters to humid summers—climate-controlled storage can protect your belongings from serious damage.

Use climate-controlled self storage if:

  • You’re storing high-value or delicate items (art, electronics, instruments)
  • You’ll store items for longer than a few months
  • Your belongings are sensitive to humidity (wood furniture, photos, documents)
  • You want protection from temperature swings that can cause warping, cracking, or mold
  • The season you are storing experiences high humidity, extreme high or low temperatures, or ongoing fluctuations in temperature

EZ Storage offers climate-controlled units designed to keep your items safe, no matter how long they’re in storage.

Avoid Damage to Your Belongings

Temperature and humidity controls can have great benefits for your storage to help you avoid long-term damage. Varying temperatures can cause cracking and warping of wood in furniture, frames, musical instruments and more. Humidity in particular can be extremely damaging to appliances, cars and other metal items, causing them to rust and corrode.

When it comes to storing your office or workplace supplies, heat, humidity and cold can cause just as much damage. Your personal documents, paper, clothing and other fabrics can yellow, mold or deteriorate when exposed to heat and humidity. Dust and mold due to varying temperatures are especially harmful to electronic devices like computers and cameras.

Temperature fluctuations can increase humidity which can attract pests and damage your furniture and valuables. Our temperature controlled storage facilities in Massachusetts allow you to be in control of your belongings so you can reduce the risk of damage and feel confident your sensitive belongings are protected from extreme heat and cold until you are ready to use them again.

Climate Controlled Storage FAQs

Moisture is one of your musical instrument’s biggest enemies. Humidity can warp wooden instruments and create a breeding ground for mold and mildew. Electronic instruments are also affected by humidity and high temperatures which can crack adhesives, melt plastic and damage conductivity.

Sudden changes in temperature can cause canvases to expand and contract. Eventually, this will lead to flaking of paint. High humidity also leads to mold growth. The key to artwork storage is consistency, which is why a climate controlled environment is a good investment.

We recommend storing anything you deem valuable in climate controlled storage, but here are some other items that you might not realize also need protection from temperature and humidity changes: photos, clothing, electronics, household appliances, leather furniture, business documents, musical instruments, collectibles, tools, trophies, important and historical documents, and books.

If you need to store your books long term, we recommend climate controlled storage. To further protect your books, pack them in plastic storage bins with lids. They should be stored upright or flat to protect their shape. Rare books should be stored in custom sleeves.

Climate controlled storage provides consistently regulated temperatures to protect your items from extreme temperature swings. Humidity levels are monitored and kept at a normalized level no matter the outside weather conditions. Cold storage or heated storage does not provide the controlled temperature component that a climate controlled environment provides.
