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.

What Impacts the Lifespan of Your Home Elevator

What Impacts the Lifespan of Your Home Elevator

Here are factors that can affect the lifespan of your home elevator.

A home elevator can be a great asset to your house. With proper care, these elevators can easily last you for decades. Without this care, however, you might not get nearly as much use out of it. It’s important to know how to keep your elevator going so you get as many years out of it as possible. Here are factors that can affect the lifespan of your home elevator.

Performing Maintenance Tasks

Home elevator maintenance needs to be done regularly in order to keep your elevator operational. When you get your elevator inspected professionally, you can identify problem spots your elevator has, then get those areas fixed before problems have a chance to escalate. The sooner you address elevator problems, the less likely those problems are to affect your elevator’s lifespan.

Proper Installation

Installing your home elevator the right way will help to prolong its lifespan. This is because a good installation stops the components of the elevator from suffering as much wear and tear. As a result, your elevator will need fewer repairs, and it will operate effectively for longer. This is why you need to work with a reliable elevator installation company. A trusted company will get your home elevator installed correctly so that general wear and tear is minimized.

How Often Is Your Home Elevator Used?

The more often you use your home elevator, the sooner you can expect it to get worn down. This makes sense given the fact that the elevator components get worn down gradually with each time your elevator is used. You’ll want to refer to your manufacturer’s instructions for keeping your elevator maintained so that it remains in top condition for as long as possible.
