Is Climate-Controlled Storage Worth It in Greenwood, AR?

May 15th, 2025


If you’ve been comparing storage options in Greenwood, one question almost always comes up: Do I really need climate-controlled storage? The short answer? If you care about your stuff, yes — especially in Arkansas.

🌡️ What Is Climate-Controlled Storage?

Climate-controlled storage units are designed to maintain a consistent temperature and humidity level year-round. This helps protect sensitive items from:
  • Warping
  • Mildew or mold
  • Extreme temperature swings
  • Pest damage
At Locked Up Storage, our climate-controlled units are located indoors, behind a gated entrance, and stay between 60–80°F with stable humidity — ideal for long-term or valuable storage.

🔍 What Belongs in Climate-Controlled Storage?

Here’s what we recommend protecting with climate control:

✅ Furniture & Wood Items

Arkansas humidity can cause wood to warp, crack, or mold — especially antiques or pieces with veneer.

✅ Electronics & Appliances

TVs, speakers, monitors, gaming systems, and computers should never be stored in a hot metal box for months.

✅ Documents & Photos

Moisture is the enemy of anything paper-based. Humid summers and cold winters will destroy your photo albums, files, or books in a standard unit.

✅ Clothing, Bedding, & Mattresses

If it’s made of fabric or foam, it’s prone to mold and mustiness without climate protection.

✅ Artwork or Musical Instruments

Paintings, prints, instruments, and other creative tools are especially sensitive to heat and humidity.

❄️ When You Can Skip It

If you're storing items like:
  • Tools
  • Plastic bins
  • Metal furniture
  • Outdoor gear or lawn equipment
…then a non-climate unit with drive-up access may be all you need.
Not sure? Give us a call — we’ll help you choose the right unit without upselling.
