A PVE air-driven home elevator with its round, panoramic design, shown in a residential setting.
A simpler way to reach every floor of your Reno home
Keep the home you love, and let the stairs stop deciding which rooms you use.
Think about the rooms you avoid now. There is the upstairs bedroom you only climb to when you must. There is the lower level that slowly turned into storage because the trip feels like work. In your Reno home, an elevator turns those rooms back into part of daily life, for you and for anyone who comes to help.
A PVE home elevator is air-driven. It stands on your existing floor and rises through a neat opening in the ceiling. In standard installations there is no pit to dig, no shaft to frame and no separate machine room to find space for. Most of your house stays just as it is while the work is done.
Maybe you have lived in a two-story house for years. Maybe you are planning a new home and want the elevator in the drawings from day one. Either way, the first questions are the same: where can it stand, and what does your house need first? The sections below answer both, then help you pick a model before your free consultation.
The cleanest home elevator on the market.
The system runs on household power and uses no harmful oils, gases or lubricants, so it stays clean inside your Reno home. If you want to pair it with solar, a solar panel package is available.
- 01Air lifts you up
A vacuum pump at the top of the unit changes the air pressure and the cab rises.
- 02Gravity brings you down
Air is let back in and the cab descends. No oils, hydraulic fluid or lubricants.
- 03Runs on household current
Low power draw, so it works alongside the solar arrays many homes now have.

If someone in your Reno household uses a wheelchair, start with the PVE52, the only model marketed as wheelchair accessible.

Safe, simple and made to be seen.
Here is what an air-driven elevator brings to your Reno home, and why it is often an easier project than you might expect.
Less construction in your home
Standard installations need no pit, hoistway or separate machine room. That means no digging under your floor and no shaft built through your rooms. For an existing house, it keeps the work small and the layout you love mostly unchanged.
A calm descent if the power goes out
If the power fails while you are riding, the cab descends to the lowest level at safety speed and the door lock opens so you can step out. You are not left waiting between floors, and no one needs to come and free you.
Made for aging in place
Simple push-button controls and precise levelling at each landing make every ride easy. Options such as a cabin folding seat and a handrail add comfort, so you can keep using your whole home for years to come.
A panoramic design you will enjoy
Panoramic 360 degree visibility lets light pass through and keeps the elevator from feeling closed in. Its round aluminum frame and polycarbonate panels look more like a piece of design than a machine, and you can choose a colour to suit your rooms.
Low maintenance, with local support
The system uses no harmful oils, gases or lubricants, so there is little to look after. Your authorized dealer sets up a regular service schedule and handles check-ups, so you always know who to call.
A manufacturer behind every elevator
PVE designs and manufactures its elevators and has done so since 2002. Each one is assembled in the USA and factory-tested in Miami, Florida. The elevators are certified by LiftInstitute and A17.7 code compliant, and every dealer is trained at the Miami facility.
Real PVE installations.
What homeowners say.
Real words from families who added a PVE elevator to the home they love.
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.
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.
It turns a 2-story into a ranch concept! It's for the ease & access but also for the resale. I think the investment is worth it!

Check dimensions, landing access and the requirements for the selected configuration.
- Prepare the site
Complete the agreed structural and electrical work and arrange the required permits and inspections.

Assemble and test the elevator, complete required approvals, and explain operation and ongoing care.
Timing depends on site preparation, the selected model and local requirements.

Questions Reno homeowners ask before ordering
Where in my house would the elevator actually go?
Most often it goes in a corner of a main room, the end of a hallway or beside the stairs. The key is a level floor with clear space above and a spot upstairs that lines up, like a landing or a closet. In many Reno homes there is more than one good choice. Your dealer will walk through your house with you, look at each option and help you pick the spot that changes the least.
Do I have to get a permit in Reno, and who handles it?
In many cases, yes, you will need a permit from your local building office. A home elevator is usually treated as a building project, and an inspection often follows once it is in. You do not have to work it out alone. Your authorized dealer knows the process and can tell you what applies to your address. Since timelines vary, it is wise to start the permit step early, alongside the site prep.
My house is older. Will it need a lot of work first?
Usually not much, because the elevator needs no pit and no shaft. The main jobs are making the floor level where it will stand, cutting a finished opening in the ceiling and adding a dedicated power circuit. Older floors that have settled a little are common and can be leveled. A home visit shows exactly what your house needs, so you know the full scope before you commit.
How many days will the installers be in my house?
Once the site is ready, the install typically takes 2 to 3 days. Site prep, like leveling the floor, cutting openings and adding power, happens before that and depends on your home. You can stay in your house the whole time, since most rooms are left as they are. Your dealer will give you a clear plan for each step, so you know when the team will arrive and when you can take your first ride.
Could I get stuck if the electricity cuts out?
No. If the power fails during a ride, the elevator gently descends to the lowest level at safety speed and the door lock opens so you can step out. That happens on its own, with no button to press and no one to call. For a household where one person rides alone, that brings real peace of mind. Your dealer can show you how it works during your visit.
My dad is in a wheelchair. Will he fit in one?
The PVE52 is the model to look at, because it is the only one marketed as wheelchair accessible. It is not ADA compliant, and not every wheelchair fits, so the best step is for your dad to try a PVE52 at an authorized dealer first. That way you know for sure before you order. If his needs may change later, mention that at the visit so the plan for your home allows for it.
How do I know what it will cost for my house?
The clearest way is a free quote based on your own home. The price depends on the model, how many floors it serves and the site work your house needs, such as leveling, openings and power. Permits and any options you choose also play a part. Request a quote, share a few details about your home, and your dealer will give you a price that fits your project.
Who comes out when it needs a checkup or repair?
Your authorized PVE dealer handles service and checkups. The elevator is low maintenance, with no harmful oils or lubricants, but it still needs regular inspections to keep it running well. Your dealer sets the schedule with you and is the one to call with any question. Every dealer is trained at the PVE facility in Miami, so you get support from people who know the product well.
Built for the way Reno lives.
- Typical homes
- Two- and three-story houses, existing homes and new builds
- What it needs
- A level floor, clear space above and a dedicated power circuit
- Permits
- From your local building office, guided by your dealer
- Install time
- Typically 2 to 3 days once site prep is complete
Start with where the elevator will stand. A PVE elevator is self-supporting, which means it does not hang from your walls or sit in a pit. It rests on your floor and passes through a finished opening at each level above. So the first thing a dealer looks for in your Reno home is a level spot with clear space overhead and a straight line up through each floor you want to reach.
In a two-story house, that spot is often a corner of the living room, the quiet end of a hallway or the edge of a dining area. Upstairs, it usually lines up with a landing, a wide hall or a closet you can give up. If your stairs rise beside an open landing or walkway, a balcony installation may work instead. The elevator rises next to the landing, and no new hole is cut in the floor above.
No pit, no hoistway, no machine room: the elevator rests on the floor you already have.
Older homes and newer ones raise different questions. If your house has settled over the years, a floor that is slightly out of level is common, and it must be made level before the install. That is usually a small job, but it is worth knowing about early. If you are building or remodeling, things are simpler. Your builder can frame the openings and run the power during construction, and the elevator goes in when the house is ready.
Power is the other part of site prep. Every model runs on a dedicated 220 to 240 V circuit, much like a large home appliance. Many homes need an electrician to add that circuit near the elevator spot. Your dealer will tell you what your panel needs, and the electrician can usually finish the work in a short visit before installation day.
Next come permits. A home elevator is usually treated as a building project, so in many cases you will need a permit from your local building office and an inspection once the elevator is in. Your authorized dealer knows the paperwork and can tell you what applies to your address. Timelines vary, so it helps to start this step early, while the openings and the power are still being planned.
Then comes the install itself. Once the site is ready, the elevator typically goes in over 2 to 3 days. The team brings the parts into your home, assembles the cylinder in place and tests each stop with you. You can stay in your house the whole time. Most rooms are left alone, and the noise and dust of a big construction project are mostly avoided.
One more point on placement. The elevator is meant for the heated, lived-in part of your home, not an unheated garage, porch or storage room. If the spot you picture is in a room you keep closed off, mention it at the visit. Your dealer can suggest a better place nearby that still lines up with the floor above.
Finally, think about who the elevator is for, today and later on. A couple planning to age in place may be happy with a model for two riders. A family caring for a parent who may need a wheelchair down the road may choose the PVE52 now. A home visit lets you talk this through with your dealer and settle on the right fit before you request a quote.
