GoldKey Storage - El Dorado Hills

Current special: One month free for all self-storage units

One location for all your storage needs

Climate-controlled self storage provides regulated temperatures for storage units holding people’s things.

For instance, if you’re storing plastic and the temperature exceeds 100 degrees—as it often does during our El Dorado Hills summers—the heat can melt your plastics or affect your furniture.

The temperature in a climate-controlled storage unit ranges from 75-85 degrees.

What is the difference between climate-controlled and non-climate-controlled storage units?

• Most climate-controlled storage companies are located indoors. Indoor storage facilities keep the storage units themselves away from the effects of water damage from rain, snow, sleet, and hail as well as extreme heat.

• Mold and mildew are rarely an issue with climate-controlled units.

• Most storage facilities that offer climate control are much cleaner than those that are outdoors.

• If the storage complex is in a region that has wide seasonal temperature swings, you should consider upgrading to climate control. 

• If you’re looking for a specific temperature to store your items in, it’s best to call the storage facility first to find out whether they can meet your needs.

 What Items Should Be Stored in A Climate Controlled Environment?

• Wooden furniture that can warp or crack

• Items containing leather

• Leather furniture & leather clothing

• Paper documents and books

• Musical instruments that can be damaged by changes in temperatures or humidity

• Paintings and photographs

If you’re storing items that mean a lot to you, climate-controlled storage is the best option. Many customers that choose GoldKey Storage find that they prefer climate control over traditional storage services. Plus, they appreciate our convenient location and clean facility.

We advise that you look into how extreme and varying temperatures will affect the items you want to store.
