Residential Elevators – 2023 Customer Testimonial

Another positive residential elevator customer testimonial

In 2023, Home Elevators by PVE had the pleasure of interviewing a couple about their newly installed residential elevator. Seeking an alternative to taking the stairs, this husband and wife spoke about their desire to remain in their home of 32 years and their experience installing the self-supporting, eco-friendly vacuum elevator. Looking to access the bedroom on the 2^nd level of their residence, this balcony mounted application allowed the elevator to be free standing next to their 2^nd floor mezzanine. Offering a beautiful design feature inside their 2-story home, these homeowners chose the two-passenger PVE37 residential elevator, which including a folding seat inside the cabin, and purchased the elevator with a white exterior finish.

Watching & read the customer testimonial below to learn why this couple desired to age-in-place and how installing a Home Elevator by PVE allowed them to gain access to their 2nd floor bedroom!

Female Homeowner (FH): “I’ve been here thirty two years in our home.”

Male Homeowner (MH): “Same house for thirty two years! (laughs)”

“It’s almost, what, a year and a half ago since we had the home elevator installed. We should have done it a lot sooner.”

FH:

“It was an age thing, slash, bad back.”

MH:

“Just became more difficult using the staircase.”

FH:

“The house was perfect for us. Perfect. We didn’t want to give up our bedroom upstairs but we got older. Having the residential elevator has allowed us not to go through construction. And the home elevator fit perfectly in that corner. I don’t even use the stairs and the thought of going up the stairs… carrying the laundry? Forget it!”

MH:
“The home elevator is just so much easier going up and down than walking the staircase. We started researching home lifts and residential elevators. The difference between a lift and an elevator. And in the lift, it’s a safety factor because you’re holding a button to make it go up and down. In the home elevator it’s pressing one button, goes up. Pressing one button, and it goes down. And we’ve been very satisfied with the one button press up and down.”

FH:

“The elevator, it can be used anywhere. I think in any home, it would just melt into the décor.”

MH:

“And this home elevator is actually almost like a piece of art. It also is a big selling feature having the elevator put in the house. We ended up with the double one, which is the one that will carry both of us easily. We found that the middle one worked the best for us because if we had to go to a walker, we can put a walker in there.”

FH:

“It also carries a suitcase. It carries a dog.”

MH:

“Our dog has learned that she goes in one side and comes out the other.”

FH:

“It has made my life so much easier.”

MH:

“The home elevator is so much better and it’s just created a better lifestyle for us.”

FH:

“This is our dream.”

MH:

“But anytime anybody comes in here that hasn’t seen the elevator they go: wow! And then they say: Can we ride the elevator? And we say go ahead!”

Residential Elevators Frequently Asked Questions

Are our residential elevators noisy?

All elevators generate sound while the machinery is operational and PVE has machinery options that are as quiet, if not quieter than alternative products on the market. With the machinery only activated when the elevator is in use, residential elevators have a number of machinery options available for homeowners to choose from in order to fit their audio comforts and needs. View our machinery video online to learn more and to hear each machinery upgrade option available.

Are our residential elevators made out of glass?

While residential elevators are panoramic, they are manufactured using Polycarbonate Panels and are not manufactured using glass. Polycarbonate panels are much lighter and stronger than glass panels, with an impact resistance approximately 200 times stronger than glass. Each one of the panels on the elevator can be replaced in the event that a panel is damaged, scratched, etc.

How much space is needed for a residential elevator?

PVE’s self-supporting residential elevators require the least the amount of space and construction needed to install a home elevator. The requirements vary depending on the residential elevator model chosen and the type of application. With three models to choose from, each residential elevator model has a different exterior diameter. With residential elevator installations, there are 2 types of applications: through-floor and balcony mounted applications. For Through-Floor Applications, where the elevator will be traveling through the floor, the through-floor hole needs to be 2” inches greater than the exterior diameter of the elevator. For balcony Mounted applications, there needs to be the clear space to accommodate the exterior diameter of the elevator, and often a landing needs to be constructed to ensure ease of entry on the top floor. Speak with a PVE Sales Representative to verify the space needed to accommodate your desired residential elevator.

Top 10 Home Elevators of 2023

Best Home Elevators ranked for the new year.

In 2023, a continued growing trend for owners of homes will be home elevators as a necessity to maintain their standard of living. For homeowners in 2023, home elevators will provide more mobility and accessibility to their homes. The benefits of “Aging in Place” are significant, both for your health and lifestyle. This guide will assist you in determining which home elevator solution is best suited to your project and needs.

Home Elevator Benefits

CDC analysis shows that 13.7% of American adults have mobility difficulties, while 16.9% of those over 65 have difficulty walking. Not only for the elderly, homeowners recovering from a serious injury, those with mobility issues or those looking to have loved ones such as parents moving in to their homes see home elevators as a safe and effective solution to gaining additional accessibility between floors.

Home elevators add value to your home and are elegant and long-lasting, unlike stair lifts that are unattractive and unpractical. An elevator can also enhance the aesthetics of your home if it’s designed well based on its technology and style. In short, homeowners who purchase a home elevator have not only elevated their standard of living but made a calculated investment towards the value of their home.

The installation of a home elevator increases the value of your home, and if you’re planning to sell your property in the future, it can increase the interest of potential buyers. In order to ensure climbing the stairs is no longer a tiring experience, installing a home elevator is the most engaging choice for both current and future homeowners.

With the vast benefits of installing a home elevator in your residence, it can be difficult for homeowners to choose the right elevator solution for their project and needs. To find out which elevator solution is best suited for your project and needs, read this guide to learn more about the different elevator solutions available.

Solutions For Home Elevators

It is important for homeowners to understand the mechanics and technology of each lift solution they are looking to purchase in order to choose the right one for their project.

Vacuum Elevators – When you’re not using the vacuum elevator, it only consumes a small amount of power. What’s more, its innovative design means that there’s no pre-construction shaft needed. This makes it great for homes with limited space. Plus, you’ll need less maintenance since oils, gas and lubricants aren’t required for operation. These units can also switch from ascending to descending at the touch of a button.

Hydraulic Elevators – In addition to a fully enclosed hoist way and pit on the ground floor, hydraulic elevators require another machine room for them to operate. This type of elevator needs more maintenance because it uses oils that can cost you additional service fees. As a result, it might be necessary to make more changes to your home in order to have this type of elevator installed.

Winding Drum Elevators – Winding drum elevators require a hoistway, pit and machine-room to operate. The drive may be located in an alternate room. Configurations are available so that the motor with its assembly may be placed easily for maintenance or service in the future. Hoistways should be provided, but tracks can be added if necessary on either side if a hoistway is unavailable. This increases costs during preconstruction and space requirements for installation.

Chain Drive Counterweight Elevators – Using a chain, like an enlarged bike chain, to torque the motor, Chain Drive Counterweight Elevators are a system of gears. A counterweight elevator requires an enclosed shaft and pit to operate, taking up more space in the home. Chains are more maintenance-friendly than cables because they don’t stretch so easily.

Traction Elevators – This elevator typically uses a pulley, counterweight or chain system, which rotates over a sheave to move passengers between floors, and requires a hoist way and pit for operation. Motors and operational components are usually located in the engine room rather than above the elevator cabin. It is the most common elevator solution in commercial buildings and requires annual maintenance to ensure proper operation.

Machine Room-Less Elevators (MRL) – For this system, the controller and elevator components are located inside the building. This eliminates the need for a separate machine room. This can work with traditional styles of elevators in small spaces where a separate machine room isn’t possible; however, entry into the elevator shaft is required to service the elevator which can be time-consuming. Still, the tower construction is necessary and adds time and cost to your project.

Shaftless Lift – A stairlift is a seat that is attached to a railing that serves as a track and takes the user up the stairs using a motorized gear. It is not visually appealing to own a stairlift because it travels much slower than a home elevator and its tracks are mounted on a wall, and homeowners often get rid of them when they decide to sell their house. Consequently, stair lifts aren’t the best long-term investment for your home.

Stairway Chair Lifts – A stairlift is a seat that is attached to a railing that serves as a track and takes the user up the stairs using a motorized gear. It is not visually appealing to own a stairlift because it travels much slower than a home elevator and its tracks are mounted on a wall, and homeowners often get rid of them when they decide to sell their house. Consequently, stair lifts aren’t the best long-term investment for your home.

Dumbwaiters – A dumbwaiter is a small freight elevator or lift used to transport food or clothing between floors. A dumbwaiter is much smaller in size than a certified elevator, so it is unsuitable for transporting passengers.

Vertical Platform Lift – Vertical Platform Lifts, also known as a VPL, are the perfect mobility solution for people who need to get from one floor to another. Its raised platform carries passengers up and down to their designated floor. These lifts sometimes can’t be installed if a ramp isn’t possible/ permitted by code. If you don’t know about this type of equipment, it should go without saying that it can only be installed inside or on the exterior of your home. And VPLs are not new construction accessible systems because budgeting for installation, annual maintenance and safety checks is often necessary.

Resting on the existing ground floor, these plug and play elevators combine a beautiful external cylinder shaft with a fully welded and self-contained cabin on the interior that offers a 360° degree experience while traveling up and down. By manipulating air pressure, the principle of operation is based on the ascending push generated by the difference between the atmospheric pressure on top of and under the sealed car. The depression (vacuum) required to lift the car is achieved by turbines operating as exhaust fans which are located at the top of the elevator, or can also be remotely located. The descent is achieved by gravity, slowly allowing air back into the system at a controlled pace so the cabin can smoothly get to the lower level(s). Since 2002, Vacuum Elevators residential lifts have developed a reputation for being a safe, reliable, aesthetically pleasing elevator to accommodate accessibility and architectural needs worldwide.

As advances in technology and medicine have allowed our grandparents to live longer and more fulfilling lives, it is often the obligation of loved ones and relatives to assist Grandparents who may develop disabilities over time. With nursing homes becoming less of a feasible option due to safety concerns, having parents and grandparents move into ones home is more common than ever. Often peoples residences are not equipped with additional accessibility to the upper levels to aid those in need which can prove to be an obstacle.

With no shaft, pit or machine room required, these innovative residential elevators simply rest on the existing ground floor allowing a lot more flexibility with were they can be installed in a residence.
