What Makes Electric Home Elevators A Sustainable, Affordable Solution

by | Jan 20, 2025 | Elevators, Lifts

While many homes could benefit from installing an elevator, some common deterrents and misconceptions prevent most homeowners from adequately considering it. Things like cost, noise levels, and even smells turn owners off the idea of installing a home elevator.

Thankfully, there’s always a RAM Elevators electric system to consider! Providing home elevator solutions for over 30 years, RAM has worked diligently to create products that remove those barriers to a home elevator. Let’s explore the benefits of an electric home elevator and address some common concerns that might be holding you back from making this addition to your home.

Dispelling the Common Deterrents About Home Elevators

Space: Where an Electric Elevator Shines as Compact and Self-Contained

Space is obviously a significant factor for people deciding to install a home elevator; most owners fear that an elevator will take up valuable space in their home, or require extensive remodeling to accommodate. The good news is that RAMs electric elevator is self-contained, meaning it doesn’t require a machine room like a traditional option would. This compact design allows for installation in smaller spaces, making it a perfect fit for a variety of home layouts

Noise: Why an Electric Elevator Is Now A Whisper Quiet Experience

One of the most common perceptions against home elevators is that they are disruptively loud. However, the RAM electric home elevator was designed with noise reduction in mind. These elevators operate with a whisper-quiet motor, allowing you to move between floors without the jarring noise pollution associated with traditional elevators. This means you can enjoy the peace and quiet of your home without worrying about the sounds of invasive, clanging machinery.

Smells: When There Are No Harsh Chemical Odours in an Electric Elevator

Another concern for most homeowners is the potential for unpleasant smells, as many people associate mechanical systems with strong chemical odours or greasy lubricants. With the RAM electric elevator, you can breathe easy though- our systems are designed to operate without the need for harsh chemicals, ensuring a fresh and clean home environment. You can enjoy your new elevator without worrying about your home suddenly smelling like a commercial job site.

Energy Consumption: How an Electric Elevator Helps Meet Net Zero Targets

Modern homeowners are increasingly conscious of their energy consumption and environmental impact, and it’s a common misconception that home elevators significantly increase energy usage. Not with a RAM solution, though- our electric home elevator is designed to meet net-zero energy targets. This means our elevators are not only energy-efficient but can help contribute to your home’s net-zero energy consumption goals. With our innovative technology, you can enjoy the convenience of a home elevator without the guilt.

Mechanical Upkeep: What Minimal Maintenance is Required on an Electric Elevator

Another concern for most homeowners is the maintenance required for upkeep. While worries about the cost and effort involved in keeping a traditional elevator system running are valid, the RAM electric system is designed with a counterbalanced pulley system that requires very little effort to operate and maintain. Our system means fewer moving parts and, therefore, lower maintenance needs. With our electric home elevator options, you won’t have to worry about frequent repairs or extensive upkeep, allowing you to enjoy mobility and peace of mind.
