Lakeland, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/17/2015 -- Recently released statistics disclose more than 50 percent of American households rely on rental units to accommodate their storage needs. While this is a necessary expenditure, consumer spending reports indicate a notable portion of these families initially invest in inadequately sized units, leading to greater future expenses. In an effort to help increase cost effectiveness in these regards, Robin Aronoff of First Choice Mini Storage has launched efforts to educate Lakeland area residents on choosing the right unit from the beginning.

Aronoff confirmed, "Furniture and other belongings look much different spread out in a home than they do stacked and compacted for storage, so choosing the right size can be a difficult task. Booking a unit that's far too big could be a waste of money whereas renting a unit that's too small often forces clients to request a second storage unit down the road. Our new initiative focuses on helping clients save their hard earned income while still adequately catering to their storage needs."

First Choice has dedicated a portion of their company website to explaining the capacity of each type of unit they offer. Found at http://www.firstchoiceministorage.com/storage-units-lakeland-fl.html, this page provides full details on their various available storage solutions. The company's smallest offering measures 25 square feet and has been deemed appropriate for small furniture and appliances as well as seasonal items.

The next largest unit is the 5 feet by 10 feet option with enough space to accommodate slightly larger furniture than its smaller counterpart. Popular uses for this type of unit include storing lawn care equipment, outdoor furniture, motorcycles and small boats. Third in line is the 100 square feet model capable of housing the contents of a 1 bedroom residence.

Holding the same amount of belongings as a 20 feet long moving truck, their 10 by 15 units are considered adequate for the contents of a 2 bedroom home and are also a highly sought after choice for temporary business storage requirements. A 200 square feet unit is able to house a vehicle or the equivalent of a 3 bedroom dwelling. Larger units are likewise available for more substantial storage such as larger homes and recreational vehicles.

Concluded Aronoff, "For long term household storage, we recommend booking a single size larger than initially needed to accommodate future items. Many clients find themselves adding items to storage over the years, so this can help avoid the additional expense of renting a second unit down the road. Our secure, climate controlled facilities give clients the reassurance that their belongings are safe with us, and we hope our current efforts provide equal peace of mind that they're not spending more than they need to for storage space.
