Beat the Houston Heat: Why Climate-Controlled Storage is a Must-Have


Welcome to Houston, Mississippi, a city brimming with Southern charm, rich history, and a vibrant community spirit. From strolling along the Bray Creek Walking Trail to cheering on the home team at the Houston Homecoming, there's always something to do. But as any resident of Chickasaw County knows, our beloved home comes with a unique climate – one that can be tough on our belongings.

The humid subtropical climate, with its hot, sticky summers and damp winters, can wreak havoc on everything from wooden furniture to sensitive electronics. That's where Bollinger Mini Storage comes in. Located conveniently at 675 North Jefferson, we offer a premium selection of self-storage and climate-controlled storage options to keep your valued possessions safe and sound, no matter what the Mississippi weather throws at them.

What is Climate-Controlled Storage and Why Do You Need It in Houston?

Think of a climate-controlled storage unit as a personal sanctuary for your belongings. Unlike traditional storage units, which are essentially a garage away from home, climate-controlled units maintain a consistent temperature and humidity level year-round. This is crucial in a place like Houston, where temperatures can soar into the high 90s in the summer and the air is thick with moisture.

High humidity is the enemy of many common household items. It can lead to: 
  •  Mold and mildew growth: This is especially damaging to fabrics, paper, and wood. 
  •  Warping and cracking: Wooden furniture, musical instruments, and even artwork can be permanently damaged by fluctuations in humidity. 
  •  Rust and corrosion: Metal items, from tools to appliances, are susceptible to rust in a damp environment. 
  •  Yellowing and degradation: Photographs, important documents, and books can become brittle and discolored over time.

By keeping the temperature and humidity within a set range, climate-controlled storage units from Bollinger Mini Storage provide the stable environment your belongings need to stay in pristine condition.

What Should You Store in a Climate-Controlled Unit?

While any item will benefit from a stable environment, some things are particularly vulnerable to the effects of extreme temperatures and humidity. We strongly recommend a climate-controlled unit for:

  • Wooden and leather furniture: Protect your antique dining table or your new leather sofa from warping, cracking, and mildew.
  • Electronics: Computers, TVs, and other sensitive electronics can be damaged by moisture and extreme heat. 
  •  Artwork and photographs: Preserve your precious memories and valuable art by protecting them from the elements. 
  •  Important documents: Keep birth certificates, financial records, and other important papers safe from yellowing and degradation.
  • Musical instruments: Guitars, pianos, and other instruments can be easily damaged by changes in temperature and humidity.
  • Clothing and fabrics: Protect your seasonal wardrobe, and heirloom textiles from mold, mildew, and pests. 
  •  Collectibles: Stamps, coins, and other collectibles can lose their value if not stored in a stable environment.
