Climate considerations

In the heart of summer, Gary, Indiana reaches average high temperatures of 83 degrees Fahrenheit. Many people worry about the impact such temperatures may have on their items in a non-climate-controlled storage unit. Yet, for items like books, furniture, and glassware, these temperatures are perfectly safe. Padding these items and keeping them well-ventilated can help maintain their quality.

On the flip side, during Gary's coldest winters, temperatures can drop to an average low of 20 degrees Fahrenheit. One might think this could risk damage to belongings in non-climate-controlled units. This is often not the case. Items such as clothing, tools, and appliances can withstand these lower temperatures quite well when properly insulated.

Should you have items that are more sensitive to temperature changes such as electronics or artwork, a climate-controlled storage unit could be advantageous. These units keep temperatures consistent, reducing the risk of weather-related damage. However, with the right precautions, non-climate-controlled units can safely store a wide range of items.
