The climate in Missouri ranges from the 90s in the summer to below-freezing in the winter. Summers often bring high humidity, while winters make the air dry. That’s why our units come with climate control. Unlike home air conditioning designed for comfort, climate control in storage units maintains temperatures between 50 and 80 degrees and humidity between 30 and 50 percent. These conditions are ideal for preserving your stored belongings, protecting them from extreme temperatures and humidity changes that could cause damage.
Each StorCo location offers climate-controlled units to ensure your inventory remains in optimal condition, regardless of weather conditions. The facilities are equipped with security features, including gated access and surveillance cameras, providing peace of mind that your items are safe.
