Climate Controlled Storage

When looking for a place to store your extra belongings, it’s essential to consider the environment in which you’ll be storing them. This is especially true in Minnesota, where the winters are brutally cold and summers regularly reach sweltering temperatures. 

Whether you’re storing your stuff for just a few months or through all four seasons, Acorn Mini Storage® offers dependable climate-controlled storage units that provide premier protection from the outdoor elements. Our regulated units help shield your belongings from common damage so you can feel complete peace of mind while away from your things.

How Does Climate Controlled Storage Work?

Acorn’s climate controlled storage units are kept within a consistent temperature range all year long, typically between 55 and 80 degrees. These indoor units are located within buildings that are fitted with heating and cooling systems to minimize the risk of damage caused by extreme temperatures and rapid weather shifts.

Benefits of Renting a Climate Controlled Storage Unit

Renting a climate controlled storage unit means going the extra mile to protect the long-term value of your belongings. While it may come at a slightly higher cost, it’s a worthwhile investment for both business storage and personal storage renters alike. Keep reading to learn about why these regulated indoor units may be the right choice for you.

Separation From the Elements

Because climate controlled storage units are located in a regulated indoor environment, any items stored inside have an extra layer of protection from outdoor weather. Between heat damage and condensation from cold winter temperatures, you can avoid significant problems by opting for climate controlled storage.

Stable Conditions

Anything old, fragile, or made of delicate materials can benefit from protection against rapidly changing outdoor conditions. Maintaining consistent temperatures can prevent cracking, expansion, and other temperature-related damage.

Peace of Mind

No matter how long you’re looking to rent, investing in climate controlled storage gives you added confidence that your things are being kept in a secure spot. You can rest assured that your things will be properly protected regardless of what the forecast says.
