Depending on the nature of your own goods, storing them in a storage facility that is at an inappropriate temperature could be extremely damaging to them, whether they are stored for short or long periods of times. That is why in many cases you should always inquire about the nature of the storage available which is offered by a Toronto trucking company before you agree to have your goods stored there. While in many cases this storage can be very convenient, and can also be good value for your money, there are many other instances where using this type of storage could cost you more money than you save, and this is primarily if the facility is too hot or too cold for your goods to safely survive in.
Most don't realize the extreme temperatures that can be reached inside a storage facility without any kind of temperature control. If the weather outside is hot or cold for long periods of time the buildings might retain those extreme, or even more extreme, temperatures even after the weather has become more mild outside, and those long term exposures to extreme temperatures can damage a wide variety of goods. Even things that you might think would be fine in high temperatures might have a type of plastic or thin metal on them which is subject to warping in extreme heat, an oversight which could cost you a lot of money.
Always ask if temperature control options are available in storage before placing your goods in storage with any company. This applies for everyday goods as well as those which require very specific temperature management. Those will go in special coolers and refrigerated units with pinpoint controls to make sure the appropriate temperature is maintained. For everyday goods, you just need enough climate control to keep the temperature at a relatively moderate level, and it doesn't usually matter if it's a few degrees to either side of normal room temperature, it is just avoiding the extremes which are necessary. The last thing that you need to do before storing your goods in a temperature controlled facility is to see how much more this might cost you. A special refrigeration unit for storing goods like food products or pharmaceuticals will certainly have a charge, but a climate controlled unit just attempting to maintain a somewhat neutral temperature may sometimes just be included as part of the bare minimum storage fee.
