STORAGE FAQS

  • What does "climate controlled" mean?

    Some items are sensitive to humid or dry environments and those items would benefit from a climate controlled space. A climate controlled environment keeps items at a consistent temperature, between 55°F and 85°F. To make sure that your things stay in a climate controlled environment, we make sure the buildings are secure and use automatic sliding doors to ensure that the climate is not disrupted by doors left open.

    Fairfield Self-Storage offers various protection plans that can be purchased for a small fee each month that will cover the contents of the tenant's unit in the event that there is damage to your property due to natural disaster or other event. However, the tenant also has the option to insure the contents of the unit for the cash value of the property through their homeowners or renters insurance provider.

    *Please check with your insurance agent to verify that your property in the self storage unit can be covered under your homeowners or renters insurance and if it would be in your best interest to utilize your policy.
