Air-Driven Home
Elevator.
NOW SERVING HOMEOWNERS THROUGHOUT SALT LAKE CITY
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 the Avenues to Sugar House are installing PVE elevators to move easily between floors without a major construction project.

SALT LAKE CITY LIVES
Salt Lake City’s Avenues neighborhood features historic Victorians and Craftsman bungalows on steep, narrow lots. Many include full basements or separate living spaces reached only by original staircases, making accessibility upgrades and exterior construction more challenging.
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 an Avenues Victorian or a Sugar House Craftsman bungalow without a major structural rework. Most installations are done in two to three days, which matters given how a hillside lot or a home in one of Salt Lake City’s historic districts can already add complexity and design review to any construction project, on top of the seismic considerations that come with building near the Wasatch Fault.
For homeowners planning to stay in their Salt Lake City 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 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 Salt Lake City’s older homes.
4 Models.
One for Every Home.
Whether you live in a Victorian in the Avenues, a Craftsman bungalow in Sugar House, or a newer build elsewhere in the valley, 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.

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 descends safely on its own rather than stopping mid-shaft.
Ready for a Power Outage
Salt Lake City 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 and, in plenty of Salt Lake City homes, a view of the Wasatch Mountains 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 on the Avenues’ narrow, sloped lots and in older homes with tight basements.

Common Questions
About Home Elevators
in SALT LAKE CITY
Can a home elevator be added to an existing Salt Lake City 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 Victorians, bungalows, and homes on the Avenues’ sloped lots.
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 Salt Lake City homeowners install a PVE elevator specifically to stay in a multi-story home longer, connecting a main floor to an upstairs bedroom or 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 Salt Lake City?
Home elevator pricing 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 Salt Lake City?
Single-family residential elevators in Utah aren’t required to carry a state certificate to operate, but installation still requires a standard Salt Lake City building permit, which the installing contractor typically handles along with any required inspections. Homes within a designated historic district like the Avenues may also require design review for exterior structural changes.
What permits are required in Salt Lake City?
Yes. PVE offers models designed to accommodate wheelchair access. A dealer can help identify which model fits your home and mobility needs.
