Air-Driven Home
Elevator.
NOW SERVING HOMEOWNERS THROUGHOUT INDIANAPOLIS
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 Meridian-Kessler to Woodruff Place are installing PVE elevators to move easily between floors without a major construction project.

INDIANAPOLIS LIVES
Indianapolis is home to historic neighborhoods filled with American Foursquares, Craftsman bungalows, Tudor Revivals, and Queen Anne homes, many with full basements and multiple stories. In historic districts such as Lockerbie Square, Woodruff Place, and Herron-Morton, exterior structural changes typically require approval from the Indianapolis Historic Preservation Commission before work begins.
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 Craftsman bungalow in Meridian-Kessler or a Queen Anne home in Woodruff Place without a major structural rework. Most installations are done in two to three days, which matters in a city where a historic district review process can already add time to any renovation touching a home’s exterior or structure.
For homeowners planning to stay in their Indianapolis home long term, a PVE elevator means the stairs stop being the reason to move. It connects a main floor to an upstairs bedroom or a finished basement without reworking the home’s historic character. And because the system draws minimal power and pairs easily with solar, it fits naturally alongside the growing interest in energy-efficient upgrades for older Indianapolis homes.
4 Models.
One for Every Home.
Whether you live in a Craftsman bungalow in Meridian-Kessler, a Queen Anne in Woodruff Place, or a newer build in the surrounding suburbs, there is a PVE model built for your space.
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.
It Turns A 2-Story Into A Ranch Concept!
It’s for the ease & access but also for the resale. In think the investment is worth it!

THE CLEANEST HOME ELEVATOR ON THE MARKET
Indianapolis homeowners renovating historic properties are increasingly choosing upgrades that are energy-efficient and low maintenance. PVE elevators use no oils, hydraulic fluid, or lubricants, and gravity powers the descent, eliminating leaks and reducing maintenance compared to hydraulic systems.
Running on standard household current with a low power draw, a PVE elevator works well with an existing solar array. With no hydraulic fluid or reservoir to maintain, it’s a cleaner, simpler choice for Indianapolis homes.

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
Indianapolis sees its share of winter storms and 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 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 in Indianapolis’s historic bungalows and Foursquares with tight basements.

Common Questions
About Home Elevators
in INDIANAPOLIS
Can a home elevator be added to an existing Indianapolis 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 bungalows and Foursquares with finished basements.
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 Indianapolis homeowners install a PVE elevator specifically to stay in a multi-story home longer, connecting a main floor to an upstairs bedroom or finished 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 Indianapolis?
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 Indianapolis?
Indiana requires a permit before elevator installation work begins, and oversight runs through the Indiana Department of Homeland Security’s Division of Fire and Building Safety, which licenses elevator contractors statewide. Homes in one of Indianapolis’s historic districts may also require approval from the Indianapolis Historic Preservation Commission for any exterior 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.
