Home elevators in New Hampshire
The World's Only Air-Driven Home Elevator.
Now Available Across New Hampshire
A PVE home elevator uses air pressure to raise the cab and gravity to lower it. With no pit, machine room, or hydraulic system required, homeowners from Portsmouth and Manchester to Lake Winnipesaukee and the White Mountains can add floor-to-floor access without major construction.

Why PVE
Built for the Way New Hampshire Lives
Portsmouth’s historic multistory homes and Lake Winnipesaukee properties often rely on narrow staircases to connect upper floors and walkout basements. Historic review requirements and complex layouts can also make structural changes more difficult.
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 Portsmouth Colonial or a Lake Winnipesaukee home with a walkout basement 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 review can otherwise stretch out.
For homeowners planning to stay in their New Hampshire home long term, a PVE home 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 relationship to the water. And because the system draws minimal power and pairs easily with solar, it fits naturally alongside the growing interest in energy-efficient upgrades for New Hampshire’s older and seasonal homes alike.
The Cleanest Home Elevator on the Market
New Hampshire homeowners often want efficient, low-maintenance upgrades for historic and lakefront homes. A PVE elevator uses no oils, hydraulic fluid, or lubricants, and gravity lowers the cab, reducing leak risks and service needs.
It runs on standard household current at low draw and works with many solar-equipped homes. With no hydraulic reservoir or fluid to maintain, ownership stays simple.
The most sustainable home elevator available. Anywhere.
Why Homeowners Choose PVE
- Certified and Safety-TestedEvery 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 OutageNew Hampshire sees its share of nor’easters and winter storms. If the power fails while the elevator is moving, the cab descends to the lowest level at safety speed and the mechanical door lock opens so passengers can exit.
- Designed to Be Seen, Not HiddenThe 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 New Hampshire homes, a view of the lake or the mountains from an unexpected angle.
- Low Maintenance by DesignThere are no oils, gases, or lubricants to top off or replace. That means fewer service calls and less to worry about long after installation, which matters for a seasonal lake home that isn’t occupied year-round.
- No Shaft, No Pit, No Machine RoomThe structure supports itself, so it can go into an existing home without a foundation dig or a dedicated equipment room, which matters in New Hampshire’s historic homes and lakefront properties with tight basements.
- Built and Tested Before It ShipsEvery unit is assembled and tested at PVE’s factory before it’s shipped, including installations throughout New Hampshire, so what arrives on site is ready to install, not ready to troubleshoot.

Testimonials
What homeowners say
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.
PVE homeowner
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.
PVE homeowner
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!

From idea to installation
What happens during installation?
Your installation plan should cover the work before the elevator arrives as well as assembly and testing.
- Review the homeConfirm the layout, the people using the elevator and the levels it needs to serve.
- Confirm the model and locationCheck dimensions, landing access and the requirements for the selected configuration.
- Prepare the siteComplete the agreed structural and electrical work and arrange the required permits and inspections.
- Install and hand overAssemble and test the elevator, complete required approvals, and explain operation and ongoing care.
Timing depends on site preparation, the selected model and local requirements.
Can a home elevator be added to an existing New Hampshire 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 Colonials and lakefront homes.
How much space does a PVE elevator need?
A PVE elevator has a compact, self-supporting footprint that varies by model and rests on the existing floor, so it can usually be placed without a major layout change.
Is a home elevator a good option for aging in place?
Many New Hampshire 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 New Hampshire?
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 New Hampshire?
New Hampshire law specifically exempts an elevator or accessibility lift installed for the exclusive use of the homeowner in a private residence from the state’s elevator inspection and licensing chapter, which is otherwise enforced by the Department of Labor’s Elevator Inspection Section. Homes within a historic district like downtown Portsmouth may still require local 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.
