# Heated and climate-controlled car storage

Heated storage keeps the building above freezing. Climate-controlled storage also manages humidity. Both protect paint, rubber, leather and electronics from the swings that cause condensation. Send your car details and we find heated space near you.

## Heated, climate-controlled or plain indoor

|  | Indoor, unheated | Heated | Climate-controlled |
|---|---|---|---|
| Temperature | Follows the weather, slowly | Above freezing | Kept in a set range |
| Humidity | Not managed | Usually not managed | Managed |
| Battery | Tender needed | Lasts longer, tender still advised | Lasts longer, tender still advised |
| Best for | Most modern cars | Summer cars, newer sports cars | Classics, exotics, collector cars |
| Starting price | from $110/month | from $150/month | Ask, often above heated |

Facilities use these words loosely. Ask what temperature and humidity they keep, and how they control it.

## Who heated storage is for

- Classic and collector cars: Old rubber, chrome and lacquer suffer most from freeze-thaw and damp. See [classic car storage](https://car-storage.ca/vehicles/classic-car-storage/).
- Exotics and high-end sports cars: Expensive to repair and often with batteries that drain fast. See [exotic car storage](https://car-storage.ca/vehicles/exotic-car-storage/).
- Convertibles: Soft tops and seals stay more supple in a warm building.
- Owners who work on the car: A heated space is the only place to do winter work, if the facility allows it.

## Heated storage questions

**Is heated storage necessary in Canada?**

Not for most daily cars. It matters for older cars, expensive cars and cars stored for a long time. In Calgary, Edmonton and Winnipeg, where the cold is deepest, the price gap is smaller.

**Does heated storage stop condensation?**

It reduces it. Condensation forms when cold metal meets warmer, humid air. Climate-controlled space also manages humidity, which helps more.

**Do I still need a battery tender?**

Yes for anything over a couple of months. Modern cars draw power even when parked. Ask for a spot with an outlet.
