Phoenix has a temperate winter climate, which coaxes millions of people to the area every year. Come spring, many of these snowbirds head back home to other states to avoid the scorching hot summer temperatures. For homeowners, the sun is just one of several elements that can wreak havoc on your clothes, furnishings, and other items. This is particularly true if you are accustomed to storing excess belongings in your garage, crawl space, or storage shed. At US Storage Centers, our Phoenix storage units offer a solution to the common problems that plague residents in the warm weather months and year round. The following are three local hazards you can avoid by renting a storage unit in Phoenix instead. Sun and High Heat Many of us have a tendency to accumulate excess furnishings and appliances. From washers and dryers to artwork and decor, you likely invested good money when you purchased these items. It would be a shame if you needed to store any of your personal effects for a time and they were compromised because of the Phoenix summer temperatures. This commonly happens when you keep your valuables in a attics or garages where temperatures can sometimes climb up to 100 degrees. By keeping these belongings in a climate-controlled Phoenix storage unit instead, you can protect your belongings and home furnishings and avoid the potential damage that comes from Phoenix summer heat. Dust Storms With minimal rain in our area, you may feel safe keeping excess items outdoors, under overhangs or stored under porches and in crawl spaces. While a periodic thunderstorm is generally a welcome sight, it puts these stored belongings at risk. Even if they are completely covered and protected from the rain, dust storms are also a major concern. Known as haboobs, these powerful wind systems that can sweep through the area at any time, and it is important for residents to take precautions.

Pests Like any area, Phoenix has pests that can make it difficult to keep your home and outdoor areas clear. Arizona Foothills Magazine advises that in addition to the cockroaches and fleas found in just about any location, our area has some rather large and potentially dangerous spiders.
