If you're considering renting a storage unit, you might be wondering — do storage units come with power? Whether you're storing furniture, decluttering your home, or using the space for business stock, having access to electricity might seem important for some.
At Safe Secure Self Storage, we often get asked this question, so here’s a simple guide to help you understand what to expect.
In most cases, storage units do not come with power outlets. This is standard practice across the self-storage industry. Storage units are designed to be secure, low-maintenance, and cost-effective — meaning electricity is usually not included unless requested under special circumstances.
Some customers might need power in specific situations, such as:
If that sounds like something you need, we’re happy to discuss custom solutions.
We do have a number of external power points at our facility for limited use while you are on site. However, for health and safety reasons, running an extension cord into your storage unit is not allowed. Power use must be managed properly to prevent any risks or damage.
For most customers, a standard unit works perfectly for household goods, personal belongings, business inventory, and seasonal items. If you’re unsure, it’s always best to have a quick chat with our team so we can guide you to the best option.
At Safe Secure Self Storage, we offer clean, secure, and affordable storage options right here in Christchurch. Whether you're moving, renovating, or just need more space, we’re here to help.
