Top 5 Reasons to Choose Climate Controlled Storage

A. Fernandez | September 30, 2025 @ 12:00 AM

When searching for storage units in Bulverde one of the most important decisions is whether to rent a standard drive-up unit or a climate controlled storage unit. We have both! With the Texas Hill Country heat and humidity, climate control can make all the difference in protecting your belongings. Do all items need climate control? Nope, they sure don't! Use these tips below to help you decide what type you should rent.


Here are five reasons residents of Bulverde and surrounding areas choose climate-controlled storage on Blanco Road.

1. Protection From Extreme Heat

Summers in Bulverde can climb above 100 degrees several times throughout the summer. Items like electronics, photographs, and leather furniture can warp or crack in high heat. Delicate fabrics can suffer from heat damage, including upholstered furniture and mattresses. Climate-controlled units regulate temperature year-round keeping your belongings in an environment between 58 and 78 degrees.

2. Defense Against Humidity

Humidity in Central Texas can be just as damaging as heat. Paper goods, clothing, and wood are especially vulnerable. A climate-controlled unit keeps moisture levels steady to prevent mildew and mold. Consider putting antiques, family memories and special holiday decor in a climate-controlled unit.

3. Long-Term Storage Peace of Mind

If you’re storing items for months or even years, climate control is worth it. Families moving, downsizing, or passing down heirlooms can rest easy knowing everything stays safe. Years ago, I stored my grandmother's antique table only to find it had peeled and cracked after only 6 months of storage. I learned my lesson! But, it also challenged us to open a well-built, clean facility. Which we are proud to offer our tenants!

4. Great for Seasonal Items

From holiday decorations that have fabric or delicate coatings to winter coats and ski gear, seasonal items stored in climate control are protected from pests and moisture.

5. Added Value for Your Belongings

While climate control may cost slightly more than drive-up storage, the value of protecting your belongings far outweighs the difference. Again, not all items need to be in a climate controlled unit. We are happy you help you decide what does or does not. Some tenants have even obtained a large drive-up unit and a small climate-controlled unit for certain items.
