Creaks and groans. Inaccurate levelings. Jamming doors. Occasional “Out of Order” signs. If any of these sound familiar, your aging elevator might be due for a refresh.
Around the 10-year mark, parts like door mechanisms, call buttons, and lighting need replacing. As the years rack up, it might require new lifting equipment, electrification, and doors – and at some stage, even a new elevator car.
But it’s not just the years. It’s the mileage, too. Like with cars. Acting early helps you avoid costly surprises, reduce lifetime expenses, and keep your building running without interruptions. And the best part? A modern elevator is more comfortable, more accessible, and more energy efficient.
