national average<\/a>\u00a0of a single elevator maintenance appointment is $800, but individual parts can cost as much as $60,000 to replace.<\/p>\nIt may seem more cost-effective to pay for repairs and replacement parts as needed, but this generally isn’t true. Frequent repairs require frequent appointments, all of which may include service charges and emergency fees on top of the cost of labor and parts. While investing in maintenance is a must when running a commercial property, you’ll almost always save money (and time) with preventative action, rather than reactive action.<\/p>\n
Elevator modernization will address all of the components of your elevator that are worn down or outdated. In many cases, this will give property owners a fresh start, drastically reducing the need for ongoing maintenance for years to come.<\/p>\n
4. Improved Aesthetic<\/h2>\n
That scissor gate may have seemed charming a few decades ago but now, it’s an eyesore and a hazard. The bright overhead lighting seemed like a great solution in the past but now it’s making your elevator more dated and less pleasant to ride.<\/p>\n
Elevator modernization isn’t just about installing new technology in elevators that will enhance efficiency, operations, and safety. Elevator modernization also involves an aesthetic component that can make a huge difference.<\/p>\n
Replacing outdated or worn elements in your elevator will give your property an updated look and show that you’re invested in staying current. This can be attractive to tenants, customers, and, if you’re considering putting your property up for sale, buyers.<\/p>\n
5. Improved Reliability<\/h2>\n
Nothing is more frustrating for high-rise residents or office employees than discovering that the elevator has an “out of order” sign taped to the door. Not only does frequent maintenance add up in costs, it also creates frustration for the people who rely on your elevator each day.<\/p>\n
When you invest in elevator modernization, you can make a plan for an elevator modernization appointment during low-traffic hours, like weekends or early mornings. Plus, you can let tenants or visitors know in advance that the elevator will be down. Providing notice and a timeline can reduce frustrations.<\/p>\n
Not only will your elevator become more reliable to use with modern upgrades but it will also be less disruptive. Old elevators generate quite a bit of electromagnetic noise. New elevator technology will be less disruptive to riders who are using their cell phones or wireless devices.<\/p>\n
6. Increased Market Value<\/h2>\n
When you’ve invested in a commercial property for years, you want to know that you’ll see a high return on investment. The same goes for individual upgrades you make to that property.<\/p>\n
Elevator modernization has a high ROI for many reasons, including increased efficiency. However, it can also help to stabilize or increase the value of your property should you decide to sell it. Because elevators are major pieces of equipment, they can have a major impact on the outcome of an inspection or appraisal.<\/p>\n
If you’ve let your elevator fall into disrepair, it’s going to reduce your property value and scare away potential buyers. By modernizing your elevator, you take the hassle of elevator replacement off the next owner. In almost all cases, buyers will pay more when they don’t have to worry about big expenses right away.<\/p>\n
