When it comes to climate control, air flow is the most important factor. Both heating and cooling rely on air flow. With heating, the air blows through a “heat exchange”. It will make the air warm then circulate it throughout the building. With cooling, the air will blow into an “evaporator coil”. This part would collect the heat and moisture then cool it. After cooling, the system would circulate the cool air throughout the building. The two tools that one can use to make sure that the climate is at the right level are a hygrometer and a thermometer. These can be easy to use and read because most of them now rely on technology. The thermometer will make sure that the temperature stays at a steady temperature, around 55 degrees and 85 degrees Fahrenheit. The hygrometer will make sure that the humidity level is at an indoor comfort. This is important because most of the items that are being stored are items that are kept inside. If they are outside items then there isn’t too much worry because usually they are made to be outside. Throughout time, the idea of climate control storage units have become popular.
At first, people were hesitant about getting a climate control storage unit. This is because they weren’t sure about it. But this isn’t unusual. When new inventions come about, people are hesitant at first. But if it is a successful invention, then it will become more popular overtime. One of the reasons people might have been hesitant about getting a climate control storage unit is that it cost more. It cost more because it does take energy to use these machines to help control the climate. If you are interested in getting a climate controlled storage unit then I would suggest looking at a few questions, that will help you determine if you need a climate controlled storage unit.
These are a few of the questions:
- How long are you planning on storing the item?
- Can it grow mold or mildew?
- Was it designed to be stored at a certain temperature?
- Can the size (expand or contract) of the item change because of the temperature?
- Is it a valuable item?
There are many different items that need to be stored in a climate control storage unit. This is because overtime the item could start deteriorating, discoloring, or growing mold or mildew. If they have any of these problems, then it would ruin the item. An example of an object that could have all these problems is furniture (one of the most commonly stored items). If you are storing some furniture, then it is important to make sure that they are staying in an environment that will make it last. Soft furnishing and leather can grow mold. This is if they are left in a damp place, for too long. Wood is also a very important item to keep in controlled climates. This is because would could start to crack, warp, or rot. This is all due to the moisture. Any objects that contain wood, leather, or fabric need to be stored in a controlled climate storage unit. Another important material to pay attention to is metal. This is because metals start to rust over time. The rust can make the integrity of the object questionable.
Climate Controlled storage units are important because you don’t want your items to be ruined. There are many other objects and items that need to be stored in climate control environment. Some other are furniture, pictures, collectibles, clothing, and many more. Emphasis is put on the expensive and valuable items. Expensive and valuable items can’t always be replaced. So, if you are worried about your items being ruined then I would go for a climate controlled storage unit.
