Do You Need a Climate-Controlled Storage Unit? Let’s talk A/C vs. Non-A/C Units.
It’s officially summer in Florida. The pool’s open, your closet is overflowing, and your partner just gave you the look that says, “Please do something with all this stuff.” We’ve all been there. Whether you’re storing grandma’s antique dresser or your steadily growing collection of plastic flamingos, choosing the right storage unit makes all the difference.
So what’s the deal with AC vs. NON-AC storage units? Let’s break it down like a Florida thunderstorm, fast and to the point.
What Is a Climate-Controlled (A/C) Storage Unit?
A/C units are the MVPs of Florida storage. These units maintain a consistent temperature all year round, which means no warping, no cracking, no moldy surprises when you come back months later.
Perfect for storing:
- Electronics and appliances
- Leather or wooden furniture
Photos, documents, and books - Artwork and collectibles
- Medical supplies or business inventory
Basically, if it deteriorates in the heat, give it A/C.
What About Non-A/C (Standard) Units?
Non-A/C units (also known as drive-up units) are the workhorses of the storage world. No climate control here, just solid, secure space with roll-up doors and easy loading.
This is Best for:
- Tools and garage gear
- Plastic bins and metal furniture
- Outdoor or patio items
- Everything your partner doesn’t want in the house
These units are ground floor, easy to access, and come with one key perk: you can drive right up, unload fast, and still make it to brunch.
