As you begin packing up your belongings in preparation for a big move, home renovation, or long-term storage, you will need to ensure you have the storage space available for all your items, including those made of delicate materials. MyPlace Self-Storage offers standard self-storage as well as climate-controlled storage units, which deliver consistent temperature regulation and moisture management for sensitive belongings. With climate-controlled storage, you can rest easy while storing items at risk of serious damage due to temperature fluctuations or extreme weather conditions.
If you plan on storing items that you believe could be ruined by extremely hot or cold temperatures, climate-controlled storage can help you store them without stressing about the weather. While these seasonally cooled and heated storage units are not the same as fully air-conditioned or heated rooms, they provide moderated interior conditions that help protect against freezing temperatures in winter and excessive heat in summer. Just find your nearest MyPlace Self-Storage facility and rent your storage unit today.
What Is Climate-Controlled Storage?
Climate-controlled storage is a type of temp-controlled storage that maintains a consistent interior temperature range, typically between 55°F and 80°F, throughout the year. These indoor units are located within a building and use regulated systems to help reduce extreme temperature swings and manage humidity levels.
Unlike traditional outdoor storage units, climate-controlled self-storage units provide an added layer of insulation from outside elements such as heat waves, cold snaps, moisture, dust, and debris. Some customers search for heating storage or cooling storage units. In contrast, climate-regulated units are not separately heated or air-conditioned on demand; they help moderate both cold and heat to reduce the risk of damage caused by freezing or overheating.
Humidity management is also a key feature, helping prevent mold, mildew, rust, and deterioration—especially in regions with high seasonal moisture. Whether you’re storing items for a few months or several years, climate-controlled storage units can better preserve both personal storage items and commercial property you need to store safely.
What Items Can I Store in a Climate-Controlled Storage Unit?
While many items can be stored in standard units, certain belongings benefit significantly from climate-controlled storage due to their sensitivity to temperature and humidity changes.
Generally, if your item is made of wood, leather, fabric, paper, or metal, it may require a temperature-regulated storage environment to remain in good condition. Items commonly stored in climate-controlled storage units include:
If you’re researching heated storage units for winter protection or cooling storage units for summer heat, MyPlace Self-Storage’s climate-controlled units provide balanced interior conditions year-round without exposing items to extreme fluctuations.

Rent Your Climate-Controlled Unit From MyPlace Self-Storage Today
Why choose climate-controlled self-storage units? When comparing standard personal or moving storage to temperature-controlled storage, the difference comes down to protection and consistency. Traditional units are acceptable for non-sensitive items or short-term stowing. Still, they can also become more exposed to outdoor temperatures, while indoor heated and cooled units help buffer against seasonal changes.
Don’t take the chance. Instead, keep your delicate storage items in top condition when you rent climate-controlled storage. Several MyPlace Self-Storage locations offer this convenient feature. Find the one closest to you and reserve your perfect storage unit online today.
