There are generally three different types of climate controlled storage units. They are temperature controlled, humidity controlled, and combination of both. These units have better isolation and hence they are less sensitive to dust.
In Temperature controlled units, the temperature is generally maintained at 50-75 degrees. This facilitates to keep moths and insects distant from items stored. This type of storing environment is very much suitable for storing furs, and expensive furniture.
In Humidity controlled unit, humidity level is generally maintained at 55 RH (Relative Humidity) or less, because at this level mold and mildew growth is restricted. The most common items that can be stored in humidity controlled unit are paper products like files, important documents, etc, which are sensitive to mold and mildew, electronics, like computers and computer parts which are sensitive to rust and dust, musical instruments with wooden and metal parts like pianos which are sensitive to rust and dust and contributes to corrosion. All types of mattresses which are sensitive to mold, home furniture like antiques which are sensitive to corrosion, rugs and carpets which are sensitive to mold can be stored. Bikes, tools, refrigerators, freezers and objects made of iron which are sensitive to rust, and furs which are sensitive to thickening of leather due to oil loss caused due to excessive heat and humidity, and also due to damage caused by moths and insects can also be stored.
The Humidity and temperature controlled units is a combination of both and it is very expensive.
