Common Misconceptions About Residential Elevators
Residential Elevators are Too Expensive
While they do represent a significant investment, residential elevators are actually quite affordable. The price for a residential elevator typically falls between $25,000 and $75,000, based on the level of customization you choose. These estimates assume that a contractor has completed the elevator shaft and electrical work beforehand.
Residential Elevators are Unsafe
Fears about safety often stop people from utilizing the advantages of a residential elevator. Many worry about the elevator dropping unexpectedly or being trapped inside without air. However, our elevators prioritize safety above all else. Regulations are in place to ensure safety of your residential elevator. Even during power failures, you won’t be trapped; the elevator’s automatic battery backup will take you to the ground floor and open the doors.
Residential Elevators are Prone to Malfunctions
It’s natural to feel anxious about investing in a residential elevator. Despite safety features, you might wonder if it could malfunction, especially if it exceeds the weight limit. To address this, all residential elevators are equipped with safety devices to stop the elevator if overloaded. The elevator will stay put until the safety switch is reset. Even in extreme situations, the elevator ensures a safe and steady stop.
