You may have decided to rent a self storage unit, but the more important question then becomes –
Do I Need Climate Controlled Storage?
Climate controlled storage is an option that maintains a consistent temperature inside your unit. Sensitive and fragile items are better protected in a temperature controlled unit as they are not exposed to extreme temperatures.
If you currently live or are planning to move to a climate that has drastic changes in temperature, like Alberta, you may wish to consider a unit that is climate controlled. Protect your most prized possessions from the damage that can result from exposure to extreme temperature changes.

Lockers are smaller spaces and the size of a unit can vary, from just a handful of square feet to the size of a small apartment.
Lockers tend to be much smaller, usually under 5’ x 5’ or 25 square feet. They are located within a heated area, so you can have the peace of mind that sensitive documents and electronics won’t be subject to changes in temperature or humidity.
If you’re only storing a small collection of valuable items. This makes lockers ideal if you’re looking for smaller option at an affordable price.
A storage unit is a secure space usually anywhere from 25 square feet to the size of a small garage. These types of units are ideal for large pieces of furniture or seasonal recreational equipment. Depending on what you’re storing you might want to consider if you want an outdoor or indoor unit.

An outdoor drive-up unit is also more cost effective when compared to climate-controlled units of the same size. Climate controlled units are kept at a consistent temperature.
