What makes climate-controlled storage a better option during summer?

Climate-controlled storage is especially valuable in the summer for one key reason: protection against extreme heat and humidity. Michigan summers can be surprisingly muggy, and prolonged exposure to high temperatures and moisture can wreak havoc on your belongings—especially electronics, wood furniture, important documents, and anything with fabric or leather. In a climate-controlled unit, the temperature and humidity levels are regulated to prevent mold, warping, cracking, or fading. Think of it like giving your items the comfort of an indoor room, even though they’re in storage. This is especially important for students storing belongings between semesters, families during home renovations, or anyone putting valuables away while transitioning between homes. It’s a little extra investment—but when you consider the risk of damage, especially during unpredictable summer storms, it’s a smart way to protect your things.
