Hunt Farms Self Storage | October 21, 2025 @ 12:00 AM

If you're a resident or business in Arkansas, you already know that the heat and humidity in Lowell, AR, Springdale, A,R and surrounding areas can cause significant damage to your belongings in storage. Storing your sensitive items in a standard storage unit runs the danger of exposing them to regular summer temperatures above 90°F and humidity levels often near 80%. Hunt Farms Self Storage’s climate controlled storage units are the ideal approach to protect your belongings from extreme humidity and heat, whether your storage needs include furniture, electronics, paperwork, or personal belongings.

1. Protect Your Things from Heat Damage

Over time, Arkansas’ boiling temperatures can warp, shatter, or melt your valuable belongings. Heat and humidity can cause: 

  • Wood furniture to expand, crack, or dry out.
  • Electronics can overheat, leading to malfunctions.
  • Vinyl records, DVDs, and CDs to warp.
  • Candles, cosmetics, and plastics to melt.
  • Bikes and metal elements can rust or even harbor mold. 

With climate-controlled storage, the temperature in your unit stays consistent so you can avoid damage from Radcliff and Brandenburg's weather extremes.

2. Stop Mold and Mildew Growth

In Lowell, humidity is one of the main hazards for anything you store. Mold, mildew, and musty smells brought on by high humidity can irreversibly ruin your possessions. Items at risk include:

  • Clothing & fabrics (can develop mold and unpleasant smells).
  • Paper documents & books (can become damp and unreadable).
  • Mattresses & upholstered furniture (can absorb moisture and grow mildew).
  • Musical instruments (wood and metal components can be ruined by moisture).

Choosing a climate-controlled storage unit keeps humidity out, protecting your things from moisture-related damage.

3. Avoid Insects and Pests

Insects and rodents thrive in Lowell's warm, humid surroundings. In storage units without climate control, pests like mice, silverfish, and cockroaches can easily ruin objects, including:

  • Cardboard boxes (which are easily chewed through).
  • Clothing and linens (which can become a home or nest to live in).
  • Important documents (which can be easily destroyed and eaten).

The insulation and sealing offered by Hunt Farms Self Storage’s climate-controlled storage units can also lower the possibility of pests infesting your storage. 

4. Preserve the Value of Your Items

Many people use storage for valuable or sentimental items like:

  • Family heirlooms
  • Collectibles (coins, stamps, antiques)
  • Artwork & framed photos
  • Vintage clothing, handbags, and furniture
  • Business Documentations
  • Heat Sensitive Contracting Equipment

The heat and humidity in Lowell can cause permanent damage, but storing in a climate-controlled unit preserves the condition of your storage for the months or years that you store with us! Score!

5. Improved Comfort and Convenience

Lowell's humidity and heat can make it unpleasant to drive out to your storage facility and check on your unit. Climate-controlled storage units offer a cooler and more pleasant environment for you to organize, inventory, and move items in and out of your unit as needed.
