Residential Elevators: Modern and Easy to Install
Forget everything you thought you knew about residential elevators. Our environmentally friendly, state-of-the-art residential elevators help you and your family members move between floors with ease. You can enjoy the luxury of a residential elevator without all the hassles of traditional residential elevators.
Minimal Maintenance: Save Time and Money
If you are one of those people who always forget to schedule maintenance for your appliances, don’t worry! Our residential elevators have very few moving parts and do not require any lubrication. Since the design of our elevators is so simple, you only need to call us for a replacement seal every four to five years or 15,000 rides.
Absolute Safety: Fully-Certified Residential Elevators
Pneumatic vacuum elevators are fully certified by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and have been a tested and proven revolutionary change to the elevating industry over the course of the last ten years. If you need a safe, reliable, and attractive lift in your home without the mess and cost of traditional residential elevators, give us a call to get you in touch with your local authorized PVE® dealer.
Space Saving Solution for Your Home
You don’t need a lot of room in your home for one of our residential elevators. Our lifts do not require an equipment room and there is no need for a pit/well under the bottom floor or above the top floor for these elevators. For other elevators, these additional spaces are required for the heavy operating equipment, but PVE® residential elevators bypass the need for anything else but space for the cylinder. This not only means a smaller footprint in your home but a much less costly and less messy construction project in comparison to a traditional residential elevator.
Pack & Go: Self-Supporting Residential Elevators
Even if you plan on moving in the future, you don’t have to leave your elevator system behind. PVE® manufactures completely enclosed elevators that are not built into the framework of your home. This means that the self-contained residential elevators can be moved to your new home if you decide to relocate in the future. You can even change the elevator’s location inside your existing home if you remodel or add on to your home.
Residential Elevators:
Three Air-Driven Models
Our air driven residential elevator line includes choices for one to three adults or for a person in a wheelchair with an attendant. PVE® manufactures our elevators with exterior diameters ranging from a minimal 30 inches to a spacious 52 11/16 inches. The type of elevator you choose will depend on you and your household’s space and needs. For single, standing riders, the PVE® 30 will suffice. The PVE® 37 is a good choice if you need a little more space for two adults to ride, or the option of a foldable cabin seat. And the PVE® 52 is the answer for the wheelchair accessible model or a spacious and luxurious home lift.
Retain Your Independence as You Age
Gone are the days when seniors had to trade in their homes for old age facilities in order to maintain their independence. With residential elevators for seniors, mobility and freedom of movement are restored. Whether you use a wheelchair or a walker, or simply struggle to climb stairs, elderly people can lively safely and comfortable with a PVE30 residential elevator. Easy to maintain and operate, our elevators make home life easier and more manageable no matter your age.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a home elevator?
A home elevator is a device that allows people to move between floors in a residential setting, like a house or apartment. They are designed to be smaller and more aesthetically pleasing than commercial elevators.
How does a vacuum elevator work?
Vacuum elevators use air pressure to lift and lower the cab. A vacuum is created at the top of the shaft, and the cab is lifted as the air is removed. To descend, air is slowly let back into the cylinder, gently lowering the cab to the desired floor.
What are the advantages of a vacuum elevator over a traditional elevator?
Vacuum elevators have several benefits over traditional elevators, including:
No need for a machine room or pit, making them easier to install
Lower maintenance requirements
Quieter operation
Energy-efficient, using less electricity than hydraulic elevators
Smooth, comfortable ride
Are vacuum elevators safe?
Yes, vacuum elevators are safe for home use. They comply with safety standards and are equipped with multiple safety features, including emergency brakes and backup power.
How much does a vacuum elevator cost?
The cost of a vacuum elevator varies depending on factors like the number of floors, the weight capacity, and the customization options chosen. However, they are often less expensive than traditional elevators, particularly when retrofitting an existing home.
Are there any financial assistance options for purchasing a vacuum elevator?
Yes, there are financial assistance options available for purchasing a pneumatic vacuum elevator. Many companies offer financing plans that allow you to pay for your vacuum elevator over time, making it easier to afford.

This way, you can enjoy the benefits of a pneumatic residential elevator without worrying about paying for it all at once.
Can vacuum elevators be used by older individuals?
Yes, vacuum elevators are an excellent option for older individuals who have difficulty navigating stairs. They are easy to use and require minimal physical effort, making them an ideal choice for those with mobility issues.
Which elevator is best for a home?
Pneumatic lifts are the best choice for a residential elevator. These elevators use air to move smoothly and quietly between floors, making them very easy to install. They don’t need a lot of space or big changes to your home, making them a top pick for homeowners looking for a simple, reliable residential elevator.
Are residential elevators worth it?
Yes, adding a pneumatic residential elevator is definitely worth it. It not only makes your home more convenient and accessible, but it can also increase your home’s value.

They provide all the convenience you need in a residential elevator without taking up too much room.

I thoroughly enjoy riding in my PVE elevator as its extremely comfortable… I would unhesitatingly, recommend it to people who are confined to a wheelchair like myself, to me it’s that good and reliable!
Tamara Gordon
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 vacuum elevator.

Residential Elevators Manufacturers
Pneumatic Vacuum Elevators LLC is the designer and manufacturer of the vacuum elevator.
PVE currently manufactures three versions of its air driven residential elevators, ranging from single to a three-passenger, wheelchair-accessible residential elevator. All of PVE’s vacuum home lift systems are capable of up to a 50 foot (15m) vertical rise over as many as five stops. The unique design of our vacuum residential elevators are a perfect choice for any retrofit or new construction project and will enhance the value of one’s home without the consuming footprint of a traditional residential elevator. The innovative residential elevator does not require any pre-construction shaft, pit or machine room and can be installed in as little as two to three days. By using a vacuum pump to generate areas of higher and lower atmospheric pressure within the cylinder hoist way, the unit smoothly moves between floors while using much less energy than other residential elevators.
