Do You Need a Heated Facility?

Not sure whether you need heated units or climate-control for your stored items in Vancouver? Just answer these simple questions to find out:

Do you live in an area that experiences freezing temperatures?

Believe it or not, Vancouver winters can be pretty chilly! Although they rarely dip to the same lows as Eastern and Prairie provinces, the temperatures of winter cold snaps in Vancouver, BC, can still be cold enough to cause damage to temperature-sensitive belongings. That’s why Public Storage Vancouver protects your precious goods with heated units specially designed to withstand harsh Canadian winters.

Are your belongings susceptible to cold temperatures?

If you are storing important goods like records, vintage items, artwork, electronics or more, you’ll want to protect your belongings from the elements – and that includes cold Vancouver winter temperatures. Take a look at this list of sensitive items:

• Antiques or vintage items, especially wood furniture
• Artwork and collectibles
• Furniture and goods made of leather, metal, wood, fabric, or upholstery
• Electronics and media (such as flat screen TVs, laptops and computers, CDs and DVDs)
• Photographs
• Musical instruments
• Vinyl records

How long will you be storing your items?

If you will be storing your items between the months of November to April or for more than a year, your belongings will be exposed to seasonal winter cold. In this case, we recommend a heated storage solution to protect your belongings from freezing temperatures.

Our facilities in Kitsilano (1698 W 3rd Ave) and eastside Vancouver (663 Terminal Ave and 111 Commercial Dr) offer heated storage units, to protect your cold-sensitive items. Learn more about our heated storage options by visiting our temperature-controlled storage page.
