When you’re ready to stow some of your belongings, you want to be sure to find the right solution for you. There are so many different places from which to choose, it’s good to go into it with a game plan. Here are 5 things to keep in mind as you move forward. 1) Climate Control When looking at storage units in Phoenix, consider how sweltering it gets in the summer and how frigid in the winter. Renting a space that maintains a consistent climate is a tremendous benefit. Certain items like wine, wood, leather, electronics and artwork need to be in an environment that will support preservation. Just remember that packing your goods in plastic will cause moisture accumulation that can attract bugs, vermin and mildew even in the cleanest, most well-kept facility. 2) Location You don’t want to travel too far from home to either load up one of your Phoenix storage units or have it in a neighborhood that makes you uncomfortable. Map out your chosen location and see what the area’s like. Make it a convenience, not a chore to get there and be there at any time. 3) Security Check on what kind of precautions the facility takes to ensure the safety of the storage spaces and its clients. Is there video surveillance or an electronic gate access? Do you need to bring your own lock? Take a tour prior to signing any sort of agreement to fully understand the monitoring and security. 4) Size of units At US Storage Centers, we offer a variety of sizes to fit your needs. We recommend you consider going larger than you think you’ll require when choosing one of the storage units in Phoenix. It will make it easier for you to navigate the space, load in and retrieve items. Remember to keep in mind how tall you want to be able to stack as well as how wide across and how deep. 5) Customer service and rules The experience of placing items in storage is made that much more comfortable with a friendly and attentive staff, and understanding the storage facility rules. While there are some basic prohibited items within all states, there may be additional ones for that specific location as well as certain codes of conduct. Gaining that knowledge ahead of time can help you in your decision on how to proceed.
