COVID-19 Notice

Preferred Elevator would like to assure our customers that we are taking all necessary steps to do our part in flattening the curve of COVID-19. We have developed a “No Family Contact” process for service, repairs and installations. Our Mechanic, who will be wearing a mask and gloves, will call you when we are at your front door and will discuss the issues or concerns you have with your unit. Our customer can then unlock the door, but there is no need to further greet the Mechanic or be present for the service, repair or installation. Please feel free to move to another part of the home while we are working. Final payment can be left for technician or can be done over the phone with our office.
We greatly appreciate your business during this time.

Sincerely,
Ken Gough

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.

The Truth About Home Elevators

Today we’ll discuss the truth about home elevators and debunk some common misconceptions.

As of 2020, home elevators have become increasingly popular. When any product becomes popular, false anecdotes or misconceptions can arise. Many people understand and have experienced the benefits of residential elevators. However, some people may need more clarity about residential elevators that we’d like to provide. Today we’ll discuss the truth about home elevators and debunk some common misconceptions.

Home Elevators are Affordable

There was a point in time where only wealthy people owned residential elevators. However, fast forward to 2020, and you’ll find that with financing options and grants, home elevators are cost-effective. There are also a lot of options in size and design so that your home elevator can work for your budget. We’ll work with you to choose the finish, the style, and the fixtures that fit into what you would like to spend. 

Proper Installation and Maintenance Can Minimize Elevator Repair Costs

Home elevators don’t require constant, expensive repairs. Our expert technicians are educated on how to properly install residential elevators so that you don’t have to worry about them breaking down on you. Also, we stress the importance of annual elevator service to avoid costly repairs in the future. Communication is critical, and we can discuss with you how an ongoing maintenance plan would work for you. We provide a high-quality preventative maintenance plan, whether it’s an in-home elevator or a commercial elevator. Our goal is to minimize callbacks and repairs. Here are a few benefits of our elevator service and annual service agreement:

  • Licensed, bonded, and insured service
  • 24/7 emergency service
  • Savings on parts and repairs
  • High-quality, people-oriented customer service
  • Elevator service ensures that your home elevator is always in top shape

Home Elevators are Indeed Safe

Statistically, the elevator is one of the safest ways to travel. While it’s true that an elevator is a complex system, it will always be safe if you utilize it properly and always follow the instruction manual. Our expert technicians will also show you safe residential elevator practices to ensure that you’re never in harm’s way while using it. Also, elevator safety codes are always in review and updated. Home elevators have many safety features that can take away any fear or skepticism, and debunk a lot of misconceptions.
