Storing a TV might seem straightforward, but it requires careful planning and preparation to ensure it remains in good condition. Whether you're moving, renovating, or simply need extra space, Jumbo Storage is here to provide you with top-notch storage solutions in Asheville, North Carolina.
Preparing Your TV For Storage
When preparing your television for storage you need to take a number of steps to ensure that it is safely put away. To do so first, clean your TV thoroughly to remove any dust and dirt that could cause long-term damage.
Use a microfiber cloth to gently wipe the screen and exterior. Disconnect all cables and accessories, including HDMI cables, power cords, and remote controls, and store them in a labeled bag for easy access later. If your TV has a stand, remove it and keep all screws and components in a labeled bag to prevent loss.
Packing Your TV
- Original Packaging: The best way to pack your TV is in its original box with the original packing materials. These are designed to protect your TV during transport and storage. If you no longer have the original packaging, consider purchasing a specialized TV box from a moving supply store.
- Protect the Screen: Place a layer of foam or a thick blanket over the screen to protect it from scratches and impacts. Secure the protective covering with packing tape, but avoid placing tape directly on the screen.
- Secure in Box: If using a box, make sure the TV fits snugly inside with no room to move around. Fill any gaps with packing peanuts or bubble wrap to provide additional cushioning.
Choosing The Right Storage Unit
Climate-controlled storage units are essential for sensitive electronics like TVs. At Jumbo Storage, we offer climate-controlled units that maintain a stable environment, protecting your TV from extreme temperatures and humidity.
Select a storage unit that comfortably fits your TV without stacking items on top, which could cause screen damage. Our units are conveniently located near major highways I-26 and I-40, making it easy to access your belongings when needed.
Storing Your TV Safely
Always store your TV upright to prevent pressure points that could damage the screen. Use a dolly to transport your TV to the storage unit safely. Place your TV on a raised surface, like a pallet or shelf, to protect it from potential water damage and ensure proper air circulation.
Even in a storage unit, dust can accumulate over time. Cover your TV with a breathable fabric like a cotton sheet to keep dust off while allowing air to circulate, preventing moisture build-up.
