Questions Regarding Home Elevators

Many homeowners have a variety of questions when it comes to installing a home elevator in their homes. Perhaps one of the most common questions the team hears is where the home elevator will be located. The answer to this question will partially depend on what the clients want. Some homeowners would prefer to have the home elevator tucked away, sometimes even in a garage or storage area. Others would prefer to have it in a location that makes the most sense for how they live in their home.

Adding a home elevator to your home means that you will need to give up some space to devote to the elevator. Just how much space will you need to devote to your home elevator? You will need to make room for the length and width of the elevator, plus needing a bit of room either at the bottom or the top of the elevator shaft for the machinery that operates the home elevator.

Why Have a Home Elevator?

Along with the questions related to the elevator itself and its operation, many homeowners also like to ask why they would want to have a home elevator. One of the major reasons that people add a home elevator is because they want to age in place. This means that they will be able to stay in the home that they have lived in for years instead of leaving and relocating to an unfamiliar home setting, often an assisted living facility. When surveyed, approximately three-quarters of those over the age of 50 would prefer to remain in their current home as they age.

Adding a home elevator to your Bloomington, McHenry, Peoria, Appleton, Chicagoland, Lake Forest, or surrounding area home can be a big undertaking, but the rewards of having a professionally installed home elevator from Access Elevator are numerous, including being able to stay in your own home for much longer.
