Importance of climate control

Chicago is a city known for its weather extremes, with average high temperatures reaching 85 degrees in the summer and average lows dropping down to 18 degrees in the winter. Such fluctuations can impact certain items stored within a unit.

In a climate-controlled storage unit, conditions are kept constant regardless of the season. Temperatures typically range between 55 and 85 degrees, ideal for sensitive items such as wooden furniture, electronics, and artwork. These units also maintain controlled humidity levels, preventing mold and mildew growth.

Non-climate-controlled units, on the other hand, offer great value and can still effectively protect your belongings. Key is to pack properly. Use durable, waterproof containers for items that might be sensitive to temperature extremes, and consider wrapping items in protective materials for added security. Despite not having the temperature control, these units can safely house most everyday items, from kitchenware to clothing, all year round.

FAQs About climate controlled storage in Chicago, Illinois

The cost of climate-controlled storage in Chicago is affected by various factors, such as the size of the storage unit, the location of the facility, the duration of the rental, and any additional features or services offered by the storage provider.

To determine the appropriate size of a climate-controlled storage unit, consider the volume of items you intend to store, as well as the dimensions of larger or irregularly shaped items. Additionally, take into account whether you need extra space for moving around in the unit or accessing stored items.

When preparing your items for long-term storage in a climate-controlled facility in Chicago, be sure to clean and dry all items thoroughly, use proper packing materials like bubble wrap and sturdy boxes, and disassemble larger items if possible. Keep an inventory of your belongings, and label all boxes for easy identification.
