A residential elevator can last 20–30 years or more with proper maintenance. Mechanical parts can be replaced over time to extend the lifespan even further.
In the event of a power outage, the elevator will stop and remain safely in place until power is restored. Modern elevator systems are designed with multiple safety features to ensure occupants are secure at all times. Once utility power returns, the elevator will resume normal operation.
Most residential systems handle 2–4 floors, though some specialty models can serve more, depending on local code and manufacturer specifications.
Common users include:
- Seniors aging in place
- Homeowners with mobility challenges
- Families with multi-level homes
- People with heavy items or groceries
- Waterfront or raised homes needing outdoor lifts
Home elevators improve safety and convenience for everyone.
