Choosing the proper elevator maintenance company takes a lot of consideration, but it’s necessary. Keep reading to discover different components of elevator service and its significance.
Original Equipment Manufacturer (OME) Vs. Independent Contractors
When your residential or commercial elevator needs maintenance or repairs, it’s best to stick with the original manufacturer or the original installer If an outside contractor handles your elevator maintenance, then they may not have access to the unique parts that your elevator needs. The OEM knows its system better than anyone else. Newer elevators run based on computer software that provides particular information about your device that only the OEM can access.
Using an independent contractor for your elevator maintenance is an alternative if you’re looking to save money. However, research on the expertise of the independent contractor is crucial. Another crucial consideration to think about is how easy it will be for you to get spare parts for your elevator and more importantly, essential equipment required for the elevator to run. Make sure to discuss this with the contractor to avoid problems in the long run.
Quarterly, Semi-Annual, and Annual Inspections
Depending on the type of unit you have and the type of use, it may require quarterly, semi-annual or annual service and maintenance inspections. Typically, in-home elevators require an annual visit, where a commercial unit will require more frequent inspections and service. The frequency of the inspections will be written in the Annual Service Agreement and we will contact you to schedule so it is one less thing you need to worry about.
Annual Service Agreement
The elevator service company is responsible for taking care of all elevator equipment outlined in the contract. Think of this as an insurance policy in which the homeowner or business owner can assure that the elevator is taken care of all-year-round versus needing to set aside money only if the elevator breaks down. Be mindful of what services you will have to pay for versus what your contract covers.
