Climate-Controlled Storage in Las Vegas More Important Than Ever

LAS VEGAS - March 8, 2022 - PRLog -- The research is in. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency and studies published by the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine, climate change is set to have a very real impact on the way we live. Heatwaves are projected to be longer and more extreme, the cool-down periods at night will be shorter and offer less relief, and the air could experience more rapid fluctuations in humidity, with extremely dry air suddenly taking on moisture. While these variables may affect life on earth, they may also affect your personal property and how you store it. So, let's take a look at how the climate interacts with your belongings and how climate-controlled storage can help.

How Climate Influences Your Personal Property

• Heat – Extreme heat can wreak havoc on all kinds of materials but can be especially tough on paint and wood. This can cause surfaces to bubble, chip, crack, and flake.
• Cold – Organic material, like leather and wood, naturally absorbs any moisture lingering in the air. That moisture – and the surfaces that lock it in – can freeze, expand, crack, and break.
• Changes in Temperature – Most materials tend to expand and contract with the heating and cooling of the air. That movement can weaken the structural integrity of those materials and lead to their degradation.
• High Humidity – This typically leads to condensation, which can damage electronics. It also creates the ideal breeding ground for mold, mildew, and pests.

How PODS® Las Vegas's Climate-Controlled Storage Can Help

• PODS Las Vegas's Storage Units Are Temperature Controlled – PODS' controlled access facilities use HVAC systems to ensure the temperature stays within the ideal range.
• PODS Las Vegas's Facilities Use Dehumidifiers – Managing the temperature isn't enough. That's why PODS also controls the amount of humidity in the air.
• PODS Las Vegas's Storage Containers Are Fully Enclosed – Some storage facilities keep your personal belongings in a wire enclosure. But PODS' storage containers are fully enclosed, which helps create a more regulated environment.
