Frequently Asked Questions of Climate-Controlled Storage

Can you control the temperature in a climate-controlled unit?

You cannot control the temperature in an individual storage unit. All climate-controlled storage units are kept within the same temperature range at our locations (between 55 and 80 degrees).

Is climate-controlled storage more expensive?

Yes, climate-controlled storage will be more expensive than a standard storage unit. However, you can still find cheap storage units with climate control, large and small, at Extra Space Storage! Simply contact our team of storage experts to help you find a storage facility near you that best fits your needs!

Is climate control worth it?

This varies based on your situation. If you’re storing valuable belongings that can be damaged by extreme heat, cold, or humidity—and they’ll be exposed to those conditions based on when and where you’re storing—then climate-controlled storage is absolutely worth it.

How hot do storage units get?

Outdoor access storage units (without climate control) that are exposed to the sun in the summer can get significantly hotter than the outdoor temperature. If storing items that shouldn't be exposed to extreme heat, strongly consider climate-controlled storage.

What are the pros and cons of climate control?

The pros of climate-controlled storage are protection from adverse climates, extra protection from dirt and pests, better air quality, and—in the case of humidity-controlled storage units—protection against fluctuating humidity levels. The cons of climate control include higher costs and more limited access.

Do drive-up storage units have climate control?

Yes, some drive-up storage units have climate control, but it's not as common as our other self storage options that we offer at Extra Space Storage. Contact a facility near you to learn more.

Do climate-controlled storage units have 24-hour access?

Some storage facilities may offer 24-hour access so you can access your climate-controlled storage unit when it best fits your schedule. Contact a facility near you to learn more about access hours!
