Climate considerations

In Chicago, the weather fluctuates widely with average summer highs reaching 84 degrees Fahrenheit, and winter lows dipping to 18 degrees. Such temperature swings can impact stored items, and the choice between climate-controlled and non-climate-controlled storage becomes crucial.

Climate-controlled units maintain a consistent environment, protecting delicate items like electronics, art, and antiques from extreme temperatures. If your storage needs include these items, a climate-controlled unit may be the better option.

On the other hand, non-climate-controlled storage can be highly practical for durable items. Outdoor equipment, metal items, or other non-delicate possessions can comfortably withstand Chicago's temperature variations. Moreover, using protective measures such as well-sealed plastic containers and pallets to keep items off the floor can significantly enhance their safety in non-climate-controlled storage units.
