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.

Why Elevator Maintenance is So Beneficial

Why Elevator Maintenance is So Beneficial

When you perform home elevator maintenance procedures, you benefit in many ways.

If you have a home elevator, you know how important it is for your elevator to keep running smoothly. This way, you’ll be able to get wherever you need around your house. To keep your elevator in peak condition, regular elevator maintenance will be needed. When you perform home elevator maintenance procedures, you benefit in many ways.

Your Elevator Will Be as Safe as Possible

Safety should always be a top priority with any home elevator you install. The last thing you want is for your elevator to put you in danger of getting harmed. By performing regular elevator maintenance, you can identify problems with your elevator while they’re still small and more manageable. This way, those problems don’t have time to escalate and present greater risk to elevator users in the future.

Help Your Elevator Last Longer

Elevator maintenance also goes a long way towards extending the lifespan of your elevator. When your elevator receives regular maintenance, you can catch problems before they cause too much structural damage to your elevator. By reducing the damage that your elevator sustains, it helps your elevator last longer. Consider how big of an investment a home elevator is, helping your elevator last longer can save you a lot of money long-term.

Your Elevator Will Be More Energy-Efficient

Poorly-serviced home elevators use up more energy than ones that are properly maintained. This is because problems like dirty elevator tracks and old motors can make it harder for your elevator to move. This means your elevator will have to exert more energy in order to get to your destination.

By performing elevator maintenance, the different parts of your elevator will always be in top condition. This means your elevator won’t have to work as hard when it’s in use. The less effort your elevator has to exert, the more you save on energy expenses.
