Hialeah’s heat and humidity - many people are quite thankful for our climate, especially at this time of the year and in the coming months, as they escape the harsh northern winters to get a break from the bitter and dry air. The Florida climate is one that is great for a lot of things - our souls and spirits, of course, among others. Some other things, however, do not fare as well in the heat and humidity. Particularly when we are planning to put belongings into storage in our part of the country, climate control is an important issue. Choosing a climate-controlled storage facility is necessary if you are planning to store items that are sensitive to extreme temperatures or humidity. At US Storage Centers, we offer climate-controlled units to help ensure your belongings stay safe year-round, regardless of the weather outside. Common Items That Require Climate-Controlled Storage Wooden or leather furniture should always be stored in a climate-controlled facility. Wood items can crack or rot when exposed to humid conditions and can easily become damaged if stored improperly for too long a time. Similarly, leather furniture can become discolored or moldy if stored somewhere too humid. These items will stay in good condition if stored in a location where the extreme temperature changes and humid conditions are kept to a minimum. Appliances left in extreme heat or humidity can cause damage to their electronic components and render them useless. Whenever these types of items are put into storage, they should be cleaned and dried thoroughly beforehand, and should only be stored in a climate-controlled facility. Arts and crafts equipment is particularly susceptible to extreme climate conditions. The fabrics and craft supplies can easily become damaged by extreme heat or moisture; equipment such as sewing machines have electric components and belts that can crack or rust when stored improperly. Musical instruments need to be kept out of extreme heat, particularly woodwind or stringed instruments, which can easily dry out and crack. Reeds, strings, pads, and cushions on the keys of various instruments, once damaged, render an instrument unusable, and repairs can be costly. It is wise to put the effort into proper storage to avoid future repair issues. Collectibles such as stamps, coins, books and photos can be quite valuable - not only from a monetary point of view but from a sentimental one as well, and if damaged, the value is lost. Preventing exposure to extreme temperatures or moisture is imperative with these valuables to ensure your investments and your keepsakes are not at risk.
