Air-Driven Home
Elevator.
NOW AVAILABLE ACROSS UTAH
A PVE home elevator moves your cab using changes in air pressure instead of a hydraulic piston, cable, or counterweight system. A vacuum pump at the top of the unit gently pulls air from below the cab, and it rises. To descend, air is let back in and gravity does the rest. There’s no pit to dig, no separate machine room to build, and no oil-based hydraulic system to maintain. Homeowners from Salt Lake City to Park City, and out toward Ogden and Provo, are installing PVE elevators to move easily between floors without a major construction project.

UTAH LIVES
Park City’s Old Town is filled with mining-era cottages and Victorians dating to the 1880s and 1890s, many built on narrow, sloped lots where basement levels and rear additions have been carefully worked into the historic footprint over the decades. Ogden carries its own strong stock of railroad-era Foursquares and Italianate Victorians, often with a finished walkout basement below the main living level. Both cities’ historic homes were never built with an elevator in mind, and Park City’s historic review process in particular means any exterior or structural change needs approval before work can begin.
That’s exactly the kind of home a PVE elevator was built for. Because the unit is self-supporting and needs no pit, shaft, or machine room, it can go into a Park City mining cottage or an Ogden Foursquare without a major structural rework. Most installations are done in two to three days, which matters given how a full elevator project with structural modifications and historic district review can otherwise stretch out.
For homeowners planning to stay in their Utah home long term, a PVE elevator means a walkout basement or an upstairs bedroom stops being out of reach. It connects levels without reworking a home’s historic character or its narrow, sloped footprint. And because the system draws minimal power and pairs easily with solar, it fits naturally alongside the growing interest in energy-efficient upgrades across the state.

testimonials
My house was built in 1925 and it was hard to get something to fit in with the décor of my home, but the PVE fit in perfectly.
I am thrilled with the design, engineering, and reliability of the elevator by PVE.
We are not age-limited with the elevator. At any age, it’s like living on a single floor.
We’ve been here 5 years and it’s never needed anything. The elevator has been flawless.

WHY HOMEOWNERS CHOOSE PVE
Certified and Safety-Tested
Every PVE elevator is built to meet national safety standards and independently tested before it ever reaches a home. If power is interrupted, the cab is designed to descend safely on its own rather than stopping mid-shaft.
Ready for a Power Outage
Utah sees its share of winter storms and mountain power outages. A PVE elevator’s auto-descend function brings the cab safely to the ground floor if the power drops, and a battery backup option is available for added peace of mind.
Designed to Be Seen, Not Hidden
The 360-degree glass cab isn’t boxed into a closet or hallway. It becomes part of the room, showing off natural light and, in plenty of Utah homes, a view of the mountains from an unexpected angle.
Low Maintenance by Design
There are no oils, gases, or lubricants to top off or replace. That means fewer service calls and less to worry about long after installation.
No Shaft, No Pit, No Machine Room
The structure supports itself, so it can go into an existing home without a foundation dig or a dedicated equipment room, which matters on Park City’s narrow, sloped Old Town lots and in older homes with tight basements.

Common Questions
About Home Elevators
in UTAH
Can a home elevator be added to an existing Utah home?
Yes. PVE elevators are designed for retrofits and don’t require a pit, shaft, or separate machine room, which makes them a practical option for historic mining cottages, Foursquares, and Victorians alike.
How much space does a PVE elevator need?
Most models fit in a footprint similar to a large closet, roughly 30 to 52 inches in diameter depending on the model, so it can usually be placed without a major layout change.
Is a home elevator a good option for aging in place?
Many Utah homeowners install a PVE elevator specifically to stay in a multi-story home longer, connecting a main floor to an upstairs bedroom or walkout basement without relying on stairs.
Do I need a machine room or pit?
No. The self-supporting design eliminates the need for a hoistway, pit, or separate machine room that a traditional hydraulic elevator would require.
What does a home elevator cost in Utah?
Cost depends on the model, the number of floors served, and site-specific factors like ceiling height and finish work. A local PVE dealer can walk through pricing for your specific home.
What permits are required in Utah?
Single-family residential elevators in Utah aren’t required to carry a state certificate to operate, but installation still requires a standard local building permit, typically handled by the installing contractor along with any required inspections. Homes within a historic district like Park City’s Old Town or Salt Lake City’s Avenues may also require design review for exterior or structural changes.
Is there a PVE model for wheelchair accessibility?
Yes. PVE offers models designed to accommodate wheelchair access. A dealer can help identify which model fits your home and mobility needs.
