The Benefits of Storage Units with Electricity

Storage units with electricity, also referred to as powered storage units, are standard storage units with the added amenity of electricity and active outlets available in-unit for your convenience.

It might be a surprise finding out that storage units do have electricity, but there’s more to storage with power than meets the eye. Many storage units with power outlets provide a climate-controlled environment to protect your belongings from heat and humidity damage, while providing workspace flexibility and often, improved security.

Do I Need a Storage Unit with Power?

Storage space with electricity can offer a whole host of benefits for personal and business storage users. You may not need a storage unit with outlets or power to store a few boxes, but it certainly can help, especially if you’re looking to transform your storage unit from passive storage to fully functional.

Great Service!

I am so happy that I was able to reserve the perfect-sized unit (with an electrical outlet) in advance. Its proximity to the airport and 24-hour access was exactly what I needed!

Top Search, Best Find!

SpareFoot appeared in a search for a cheaper storage option. My current storage site just increased my rent for the third time in six months but with SpareFoot, I was able to quickly find a new facility, closer to home, with the same size unit for $200 less! The readily available information and ease of use made securing my unit a breeze—all my requests were immediately received by my new storage facility.

Storage With Electricity FAQs

Storage With Electricity FAQs

Are there outlets in storage units?

Most standard storage units don't include electrical outlets, but many SpareFoot partner facilities offer units with electrical access as a premium amenity you can find via our filtering option. These powered units typically feature standard 110V outlets and are ideal for equipment storage, small business operations, or items requiring climate control monitoring.

Are storage facilities with electrical outlets metered?

Yes, most facilities with electrical outlets use metered systems. You'll either pay a flat monthly electrical fee or pay based on actual usage. Some facilities include a base amount of electricity in the rental rate, with overages billed separately. Always confirm the billing structure before renting.

Can I use a storage unit as a hobby workshop?

Absolutely! Using a storage unit as a hobby workshop is a great way to expand your space and keep your home tidy, without sacrificing the things you love. We recommend looking into storage units with electricity so you can easily install lighting and plug in any tools or devices necessary to build your workshop.Always be sure to review your lease and abide by your storage facility's terms and conditions for working out of a storage unit.

Do storage units have lights inside?

Standard units rarely have built-in lighting, but many facilities provide well-lit hallways and exterior lighting. Storage units with outlets often include interior lighting or allow you to install your own fixtures. Battery-powered LED lights are popular alternatives for non-electrical units.

Do climate controlled storage units have outlets?

Not automatically. Climate control and electrical access are separate amenities, though they're often bundled together. Many climate-controlled units do include outlets to power monitoring equipment, dehumidifiers, or fans, but this varies by facility. Use SpareFoot's filters to find units with both amenities when needed.
