If you are considering utilizing a Phoenix storage unit for the first time, you probably have a lot of questions. After all, entrusting a business to keep your possessions safe and secure 24 hours a day for a potentially indeterminate amount of time is a serious matter. When it comes to storage, there are many different options with varying price points and features. As a result, choosing a unit can be confusing, especially if you have never done it before. Here are four issues to consider before choosing a unit. If you have more questions, a member of our staff would be happy to walk you through our available options, so do not hesitate to call today. Convenient Access that Fits Your Needs Different units can be accessed in different ways and may not be accessible at certain times. For example, if you are storing large, heavy items that you do not want to have to move without a vehicle, you should look for a unit with drive-up access. Furthermore, if you are storing items that you may need to access over the weekend and with little notice, you should strongly consider renting a unit that provides access seven days a week. Climate-Controlled Options If you are storing items that could be damaged by exposure to temperature extremes or humidity, you should look for a climate-controlled storage unit. You may be surprised at the list of things that can be damaged by the elements – for example, did you realize that clothes could become affected by mold or mildew if they are not stored in a climate-controlled environment? In addition to clothing, here are some other items that you should consider storing in a climate-controlled unit: Musical instruments Furniture Books Documents Art Security You should always inquire about the security in place at any storage facility. It is not difficult for thieves to figure out that storage units may contain valuable items, and the fact that no one lives at these facilities can make them attractive targets. Fortunately, at US Storage Centers in Phoenix, we use modern security measures including video surveillance and gated entry. A Flexible Lease Finally, your storage needs can suddenly change. For example, if you move into a bigger place because of a windfall or you decide to move in with a significant other, you may not need storage anymore. On the other hand, if suddenly a family member needs to move in with you, you may need to put more things in storage. With a flexible month-to-month lease like we offer at US Storage Centers, you can be sure you are not locked into a rental agreement that cannot change as your storage needs do.
