What are the benefits of a climate-controlled storage and do I need one?

Climate-controlled storage units are located inside a building where the temperature and humidity is managed. This means, that the temperature within the climate control building is like the average temperature in a home. With a climate-controlled space your items won’t be exposed to the changes in temperature and humidity like the outside. These changes can cause serious damage to your items. Climate control units are also cleaner, think of it like storing something in your garage vs. a closet in your home.
