If your home is two-stories or more high you may be considering installing a home elevator for someone in the family with mobility problems. Of course this is much easier in a new construction because the elevator is included in the plans. However, a home elevator can be installed in any home that has the right dimensions.
At one time anyone who became immobile sold their two-story home and bought a ranch home. Now installing a home elevator has become more affordable than buying and moving. The price range runs from $17,000 to $35,000 and up.
The elevator is approximately the size of a walk-in closet. The cab is no more than 15 feet squared and is 6 inches away from the shaft. The machine room is located in the foundation or on the first floor.
There are three classifications of home elevators according to their operating systems. There are hydraulic, electrical or traction, and pneumatic. Each has its own conditions for home use.
The hydraulic home elevator system is the most popular because of its many safety features. The hydraulic system is the safest system during a fire or earthquake. If power is lost the system can be operated manually. The machine room is installed in the foundation allowing easy access in case of emergencies.
An electrical home elevator uses counter weights that suspends the cab in the air. This type is not recommended in areas where there’s earthquake activity. Neither oil nor a machine room is needed to operate this type of elevator.
The pneumatic system also operates without oil or a machine room. It uses suction to move the car up and down. Installation costs are lowered with electrical and pneumatic home elevators because a machine room isn’t needed.
Maintenance of a home elevator includes regular inspections and a backup battery system that operates during power outages. Also needed is a telephone connected to the phone lines, an alarm, interior interlocks, and emergency lighting. The elevator must be secured against children entering the elevator alone.
Installing a home elevator is very feasible. It allows access to upper and lower floors to the members of the family with mobility issues.
