Climate Controlled Storage

Extremely fast and easy to rent a unit. I love the fact that it comes with a lock. I don’t have to supply my own lock. Units are nice clean well kept brightly lit easy to access. Overall wonderful experience will definitely be using Midgard in the future.

Chase and the entire team at Midgard Self Storage were extremely helpful from start to finish. The facility was clean, well-maintained, and the storage unit itself was in excellent condition. The process was easy, communication was clear, and I felt confident my belongings were secure. Highly recommend and would definitely use them again.

Jewels and David are absolutely awesome. I was on hold with an absolutely terrible customer service person with Sparefoot (his name was Jake and he literally told me that I needed to just go ahead and “move out and find some other place”. He was actually giving me the names and addresses of competitors Luckily, David happened to call me about the reservation I had put into the system and he was so polite and informative and helpful that he completely turned my attitude about the company around. David is an absolute keeper! The next day I had to call back with a problem getting access to the gate and Jules answered. Not only did she help me resolve the gate access issue, but she actually found me a better deal on a unit because I didn’t really need air-conditioning. For a couple different reasons, it took over half an hour on the phone to get everything settled in worked out, but she was patient and detail oriented and made sure that everything was finished and perfect before finishing our call. you guys need to keep Jewels and David and promote them and you need to fire the sparefoot company and let them know that Jake is yelling at customers and actually telling them to “shut up”. So if you’re reading a Google review to see if you want to rent at this place, absolutely yes. It is clean it is well kept and the actual midguard employees are very friendly and very helpful.

I have to say, I was not happy when Midgard Storage took over a year or so ago, but today talking with their representative, Jewels, was fantastic. I didn’t want to talk to a virtual assistant, but she has changed my mind. She was so very helpful and understanding. I needed to make changes with my storage unit and she made the process a breeze. I also want to add that Chrissy, was so very helpful that day too. She was at the office and she helped me out so much. When I started moving my boxes to another unit, she brought me bottles of water and some paper towels, to help me keep dehydrated and cool. Thank you!

What is Climate Controlled Self Storage?

When it comes to protecting your belongings, not all storage options are created equal. Some items require more than just space to sit, they need a stable, regulated environment to prevent damage caused by heat, cold, humidity or dry air.

That's where climate controlled self-storage comes in. At its core, climate-controlled storage is a type of storage unit designed to maintain consistent temperature and humidity levels year-round. These specialized storage units are typically housed inside insulated buildings with heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems.

The goal is to shield your valuables from extreme temperature swings and excess moisture, which can cause warping, cracking, rusting, and other damage. Let's take a closer look at what climate-controlled storage units offer, what items they protect best, and why you might need one.

How Does Climate Controlled Storage Work?

Unlike standard storage units, which are often exposed to outdoor temperatures and weather conditions, climate control storage units are located inside enclosed buildings. These spaces are equipped with systems that regulate the internal environment, usually keeping temperatures between 55°F and 80°F.

Many also maintain optimal humidity levels to prevent excess moisture in the air. This level of protection is especially valuable in areas that experience extreme seasonal shifts or consistently humid climates. Whether it's the height of summer or the middle of winter, a climate-controlled storage unit keeps your items in a safe, stable environment.

What Can You Store in Climate Controlled Units?

Protected Items The Risk Climate-Controlled Benefit
Furniture & Wood Warping, Cracking, & Mold Maintains consistent humidity levels to prevent wood from expanding or contracting.
Electronics & Media Corrosion & Data Loss Prevents internal condensation that can ruin circuit boards and delicate internal components.
Clothing & Fabrics Mildew & Odors Circulates air and regulates temperature to keep textiles fresh and free of moisture damage.

While you can technically store almost anything in climate-controlled storage, certain items benefit from this type of environment far more than others. If you're storing anything sensitive to heat, cold, or humidity, a climate controlled self-storage unit is highly recommended.

Common items that need climate control:

  • Wooden furniture: Protects against cracking, splitting, or warping caused by humidity and temperature changes.
  • Electronics: Prevents damage from moisture buildup and heat.
  • Artwork: Preserves paintings, photographs, and collectibles from warping, fading, and mold.
  • Important documents: Keeps paper crisp, legible, and free from mildew.
  • Musical instruments: Shields against cracking wood, rusted metal parts, and stretched strings.
  • Leather goods: Prevents cracking, mildew, and discoloration.
  • Household appliances: Maintains electrical components in optimal condition.
  • Antiques and collectibles: Preserves value by protecting against environmental damage.
  • Wine collections: Maintains consistent temperature and humidity, ideal for long-term storage.

Why Choose Climate Controlled Storage?

Climate Control is Essential in the Southeast
In the high-humidity corridors of states like Alabama, Arkansas, and North Carolina, relative humidity can often exceed 70%. Without humidity regulation, items like wooden furniture and electronics are at risk of mold and internal corrosion. Midgard's climate-controlled units manage both temperature and relative humidity, providing the environment your valuables deserve in the unique southern climate.

Protection from Temperature Extremes
In many parts of the country, temperatures can fluctuate wildly between seasons. In the height of summer, non-climate controlled units can reach well over 100°F, while winters can plunge below freezing. These extremes can wreak havoc on temperature-sensitive items. Climate-controlled storage units keep conditions steady, regardless of what's happening outside.

Humidity Control
Moisture in the air is a leading cause of mold, mildew, rust, and corrosion. Climate control storage facilities often include humidity management as part of their system, keeping relative humidity within a safe range. This is crucial for items like paper, fabrics, electronics, and wood.

Cleaner, Enclosed Environment
Because climate-controlled storage units are typically located inside buildings, they tend to stay cleaner than outdoor units. There's less dust, dirt, and debris, plus added protection from pests like insects and rodents.

Peace of Mind
Knowing your valuables are stored in a regulated, secure, and monitored environment provides added reassurance, especially for long-term storage. Whether you're preserving a family heirloom, storing business inventory, or safeguarding seasonal gear, climate controlled self-storage gives you confidence your belongings are protected.

Is Climate Controlled Storage Worth It?

While climate-controlled storage units generally cost a bit more than traditional storage, many customers find the added protection well worth the investment. If you're storing items of sentimental or financial value, or anything that could be damaged by temperature fluctuations or humidity, the small additional monthly cost can save you from costly repairs or irreversible damage down the road.

Ask yourself:

  • Are my belongings sensitive to heat, cold, or moisture?
  • Will I be storing these items for an extended period?
  • Am I storing irreplaceable items like family keepsakes, antiques, or legal documents?
  • Is the climate in my area especially humid, hot, or cold?

If you answered yes to any of these, climate-controlled storage near you is likely the ideal solution.
