Types of Storage
Renting a storage unit can be an excellent way to store items long-term or for shorter periods of time. There are various types of storage units with various benefits depending on your intended use and budget.
- Drive-up units are the most accessible, with the ability to drive right up to the unit to load or unload items.
- Interior units without climate control are usually more affordable and offer more security than outdoor units.
- Interior units with climate control are a great option for storing sensitive items like music instruments, artwork, and photos due to the additional protection from temperature and humidity fluctuations.
- Outdoor parking spaces are best suited for vehicles, RVs, and boats, as well as other items that do not require climate control.
- Specialty storage units may include features like additional security measures, features to facilitate access, or special climate-controlled units for commercial purposes.
Choosing a Storage Unit
When it comes to finding the right storage unit in Bristol, Connecticut, there are many factors to consider. Here are a few things to keep in mind when selecting a storage unit:
- Location: Consider how far the storage unit is from your home or office. Look for a space that is easy to access and not too far from your place of residence or work.
- Size: Make sure the storage unit you choose has enough space to store all of your items.
- Accessibility: If you will need to access your items frequently, you'll want to choose a storage unit that is easily accessible.
- Security: Look for a storage unit that offers adequate security features such as locks and gates.
- Environment: If you plan to store items such as furniture, paintings, or electronics, you'll want to make sure the storage unit is adequately climate-controlled.
Climate Considerations
Bristol, Connecticut has a temperate climate, with hot summers and cold winters. When searching for a storage unit, it’s important to consider the temperature and climate of the area. Without climate control, the average high temperature in peak summer can reach as high as 86°F and the average low temperature in peak winter can dip to 13°F.
Climate-controlled units are ideal for storing temperature-sensitive items such as electronics, photographs, artwork, and furniture due to the consistent temperature and humidity level. Non-climate-controlled storage, however, is a great solution for storing items that are not affected by temperature or humidity, such as boxes and bins. It’s a cost-effective choice and an ideal solution for storing items that are not as temperature-sensitive.
When storing sensitive items such as books or documents in non-climate-controlled units, use airtight boxes or containers to provide an extra layer of protection against the elements. It’s also important to opt for a storage unit that is not located on the ground floor, as it can be more vulnerable to water damage. Doing due diligence to ensure the safety of your items is always recommended. With the right precautions, non-climate-controlled storage can be an excellent option for your storage needs.
