Heated Storage

Winters in the Pacific Northwest are cold and damp, and the low temperatures can cause more harm than biting rain and frosty sidewalks. If not adequately protected, self storage belongings can be damaged by exposure to the air moisture and cold.

What Is Heated Storage?

Heated storage units are heated during winter to maintain a consistent minimum temperature regardless of outside weather conditions. By keeping your storage in an environment that stays above 55° F, you can minimize the risk of your storage when it comes to potential warping, tearing, cracking, and fading due to the cold.

Although we most frequently offer heated storage capabilities in our indoor units, we also provide varying drive-up units equipped with heating. Additionally, select Glacier West locations offer climate-controlled storage units featuring cooling capabilities for the summer months.

What Should I Store in Heated Storage Units

All items permitted in standard storage units can also be kept in heated storage. That being said, you may be planning on storing temperature-sensitive belongings that take particular benefit from being stored in a heated storage unit. Here are some possessions we strongly recommend you keep in a storage unit equipped with heating capabilities:

• Paper items, including photos, reports, and documents
• Wooden and leather furniture
• Electronics and appliances
• Chemical items, including medications and cosmetics
• Musical instruments
• Sentimental items and collectibles
• Clothing made of lace or other sensitive fabrics

If you are unsure whether an item of yours complies with our guidelines, see our FAQ page for a list of prohibited items.
