The quietest machinery upgrade option for the Vacuum Elevator, the Split-Unit Mount – Outdoor machinery option allows for the machinery to be installed externally from the home.

Connected to the top of the elevator by two 4” inch PVC pipes or a flex hose alternative, installing the machinery outside only requires 97” inches of overhead clearance on the top floor with the control panel for the elevator being installed remotely inside the home.

A 1” inch conduit for the 220 volt power supply is needed to connect the PVE Controller to the Split-Unit Mount – Outdoor machinery.

Installed in a fiberglass enclosure, placing the machinery outdoors is an upgrade that ensures a quiet ride as the cabin smoothly travels between floors.

New Year Resolution – Install A Residential Elevator

With 2021 upon us, many homeowners have spent the majority of 2020 quarantined in the comforts of their home. After such a tried and tested year, homeowners across the country have sought to remodel their residences to ensure they can navigate their property long-term with ease. For those wishing to Age-In-Place, installing a home elevator has become a necessary addition to ensure additional accessibilities to their upper floors. Many properties were not originally designed with a residential elevator in mind, making it difficult to find an appropriate location to retrofit a home elevator in an existing home.

residential elevator

When trying to decide which home elevator is right for your accessibility needs, homeowners must review the benefits and features available with each home lift system. With a number of different mobility options and lifts available, it is important to educate oneself on the systems available to weigh which option is right for their project and needs.

So, which is the most appealing home elevator for a retro-fit or new construction projects? When analyzing traditional elevators, such as hydraulic, traction or winding drum systems, pre-construction shafts, pits or machine rooms are often required for operation. This will increase construction costs and installation time required to retrofit these types of home lifts in an existing home, while also having a lasting affect to the structural integrity of the property. In addition, a traditional elevator will occupy more space inside your home due to these additional construction requirements. Annual maintenance is often required with traditional elevators as harmful oils, gases and lubricants will need to be replaced and monitored regularly, meaning annual service calls will be required for traditional elevators adding additional costs. Lastly, most traditional home elevators are often installed in stacked closets and hidden out of sight so there is no design or aesthetic addition when installing these traditional lifts that will enhance the appeal of their home.

If you are seeking an easy-to-install, innovative home lift, Vacuum Elevators are the mobility solution you have been seeking. As the world’s only air-driven home elevators, Vacuum Elevators are innovative, self-supporting lifts that will enhance the value of ones home without the consuming footprint or energy consumption required for traditional elevators. Simply resting on the existing ground floor, these plug & play home elevators do not require any pre-construction shaft, pit or machine room offering more flexibility with where they can be installed inside the home. The unique design of the Vacuum Elevator offer passengers a panoramic, 360 degree view as they travel from floor-to-floor within their home. Able to be installed in as quickly as 2 -3 days, these pneumatically operated residential elevators travel up to 5 stops or 50 feet in total rise and are ideal for retro-fit and new construction projects.

With three models to choose from, ranging from a single-passenger to a three-passenger wheelchair accessible model, there is a Vacuum Elevator to fit any homeowners needs. Designed as space-saving solutions for any home, the PVE30 and PVE37 models only occupy 30” inches and 37” inches in total exterior diameter saving the homeowner space within their property. A plug & play system, these eco-friendly elevators are simply plugged into a 220 volt outlet and do not operate using any harmful oils, gases or lubricants. This translates to less service calls as no annual maintenance is required. Per it’s certification, vacuum elevators should be serviced after roughly 15,000 lifts or 5+ years on average.

Powered by the most abundant resource in the world, AIR, Vacuum Elevators operate by using innovative Vacuum Technology to generate lift with these eco-friendly elevators only using gravity for descent. As a result, electricity is only used for 50% of operation which ensures your home elevator has a minimal impact to your annual electricity bill. In the event of power failure while in operation, the cabin gently lowers to the ground floor due to gravity allowing the passenger to safely exit the lift. Manufactured in Miami, Florida, USA, these residential elevators are manufactured with the highest quality standards and materials in mind with each Vacuum Elevator being pre-assembled and factory tested prior to installation.

On the market since 2002, Vacuum Elevators are fully certified in all 50 states and in 90+ countries globally. With 18+ years of experience, Vacuum Elevators have proven to be one the safest and most reliable home lifts available on the market and will make a wonderful addition to any home in 2021.

Home Lifts – The Sound of Silence

In an attempt to end 2020 on a high note, Pneumatic Vacuum Elevator has recently unveiled our innovative outdoor split unit machinery option for all 3 home elevator models! 

What is an home elevator outdoor split unit, you may ask?

Vacuum Elevators operate by using innovative Vacuum Technology to generate lift. The machinery for the elevator is where the turbines, air control valve and control board are housed to operate the unit. With various machinery options available for our home elevators, including placing the machinery directly on top of the unit, the outdoor split-unit machinery option allows the homeowner to place the machinery for their home elevator in an external environment.

Connected to the top of the elevator by two 4” inch PVC Pipes, The Outdoor Split-Unit machinery option allows for the machinery to be placed outside the home and will need to physically be located within 30 linear feet from the top of the elevator. With the machinery mounted externally, the control board will need to be remotely installed in a conditioned space inside the home. Place the machinery on your roof, balcony, deck or on the side of your residence with ease. 

Home Elevators Outdoor Unit Noise Reducer
Home Elevators – Outdoor Unit – Smaller

Another benefit of the Outdoor Split-Unit Machinery option is the decibel rating produced by the equipment. As with any residential elevator on the market, there is noise that is commonly generated during operation. Our outdoor split unit machinery option for the Vacuum Elevator provides a sound reduction solution that is unlike any other on the market! By remotely locating the machinery outside, the decibel rating produced while in operation is reduced to roughly 50 decibels which is as quiet or quieter than any other counterpart on the market. Just Note: noise is solely generated when the elevator is in operation. In addition, gravity is used for descent providing an even quieter ride as you smoothly move to lower levels of the home.

As with all our home elevator models, a simple 220v single phase power supply will be needed for installation and should be installed wherever that control board is located inside the home. A one-inch electrical conduit will run from the control board to the outdoor machinery location to ensure the turbines have the proper electrical feed. This will give the elevator the ability to effectively communicate to the motor assembly for a smooth operation.

Outdoor Unit – Smaller (3)

Like our standard indoor split-unit machinery application, where the machinery can be remotely located inside the home, a minimum overhead clearance of 97” is required on the upper floor for our Outdoor Split-Unit option allowing more flexibility for the homeowner. The Overhead Clearance measurement is to be taken from finished floor to finished ceiling on the top floor where the elevator is located.
