URGENT SAFETY NOTICE

Elevators installed with more than 4 inches of “gap space” between the hoistway doors and the elevator car doors can pose a serious safety risk. Children may become entrapped in the space and could be seriously injured or killed. This risk can be reduced with the proper installation of space guards at each floor.

How Often is Home Elevator Maintenance Needed?

Today, we’ll let you know how often home elevator maintenance needs to be done around your house.

Home elevators are convenient features for homeowners who have them. They make it so much easier to maneuver between the different levels of your house in a safe manner. With that said, this is only true when your elevator is given proper care. Staying on top of home elevator maintenance is important not just for the continued functionality of your elevator, but for your safety as well. Today, we’ll let you know how often home elevator maintenance needs to be done around your house.

Consider the Type of Elevator That You Have

Different home elevators have different maintenance requirements. Therefore, it’s important to think about what kind of elevator you have when determining how often maintenance is needed. You should contact the company that installed your elevator and follow their recommendations because the ones who built the elevator will have the most insight. They should even be able to assist with maintenance tasks, if it’s necessary.

See if Your Home Elevator Has a Service Contract

It’s possible that your home elevator came with a service contract. This document will tell you how many inspections your elevator needs per year. If you do have one of these contracts for your elevator, you should follow this contract diligently as part of your home elevator maintenance routine. Not only will this keep you on top of maintenance requirements, but you also won’t have to remember when to perform maintenance since the contract will specify this for you.

Think About Local Regulations in Your Area

Sometimes, the frequency of home elevator maintenance can be affected by local laws. Consider which laws are applicable in your area, and be sure to apply those laws, when needed. An elevator company should be able to provide insight into what these laws are, especially if you work with a local company.
