If you’re storing items such as paper documents or electronics, it is important to ensure that the air quality in your storage unit is good. We all know that musty smell that hits you when you walk into a space with poor air quality or the thick layer of dust that creeps into every crevice of your electronic devices. Heated storage units, like the ones at Pacific Rim Storage’s Mill Bay location, circulate air continuously, which prevents dust buildup and protects your items from damage.

Mould thrives in the presence of humidity and it can seriously damage many items, especially fabrics. Luckily, the uniform heat distribution in heated storage units can help to prevent mould and moisture damage to your valuables.

Extreme temperatures, whether hot or cold, can cause damage to your stored items. Rust, warping, and cracking are all concerns when extreme temperatures are present, but when you store your goods in a heated storage unit, you can rest easy knowing that they are safe. Heated storage maintains consistent temperature levels to ensure that what’s happening outside doesn’t affect what’s inside.
