I want to install a home elevator, but the cost will be between 9,000 and 100,000 US dollars. Your choice of any brand, a decoration, and your safety needs will affect the price of your elevator. So follow me and learn how to choose an elevator.

How much do different types of elevators cost?

To estimate the cost of a home elevator, it is necessary to know the types. There are different types of home elevators, such as traction, hydraulic, winding drum, and vacuum.

Traction Home Elevator

The price of a traction home elevator ranges from $9,000 to $40,000.

80% of buildings use traction elevators more than others. It operates with steel ropes and belts, making it suitable for low, medium, high, and ultra-high buildings. It comes in different types to help you choose the one you want.

There are different types of traction elevators, all explained below:

Geared Traction Elevator

The geared traction elevator operates with AC and DC electric motors. With gears between the electric motor and the pulley, they drive the pulley, steel belts, and ropes.

Geared traction can carry around 13,000 kg of weight and has a maximum speed of 500 feet. However, this type of elevator has multiple concerns, such as high noise, high energy consumption, and low ride comfort.

Gearless Traction Elevator

A gearless traction elevator operates with a synchronous motor and is designed simply. Due to its efficiency, 80% of people use gearless traction elevators. It is considered better for low to high-rise buildings, as it has a capacity of 2000 kg to 4000 kg.

Hydraulic Home Elevator

Normally, the price of hydraulic home elevators ranges from $20,000 to $30,000. The hydraulic elevator uses a pump and a piston to move it up and down. This type of elevator requires a separate machine room.

Therefore, it requires a lot of space. Additionally, it is necessary to regularly maintain the hydraulic type of elevator.

So, you need to manage a long-term budget if you want to install this type of elevator in your home. However, a hydraulic elevator is an energy-saving option as it consumes electricity only when going up, not when going down.

Vacuum Home Elevator

The price of a vacuum home elevator starts from $28,000. This type of elevator operates with air pressure, pumps, and self-supporting turbines.

If you are looking for a space-saving elevator, what you need is a vacuum elevator. It also requires low maintenance costs and energy consumption. However, it is not affordable and is not suitable for enclosed shafts.

Winding Drum Elevators

These elevators use an electric motor that winds a cable onto a drum, moving the elevator up or down. Winding drum elevators require a machine room, a pit, and an elevator shaft. These are located at the top or bottom of the elevator shaft. They have a medium weight capacity and modern models require minimal space. However, they do not offer a smooth ride compared to hydraulic elevators. Modern winding drum elevators provide a smoother ride than older models. Additionally, these elevators require periodic maintenance and cable replacement approximately every five years.

Machine Room-Less (MRL) Traction Elevator

The MRL traction elevator is a space-saving option as it does not include a machine room. Its speed is similar to that of a gearless elevator and it is simple to install.

It is also an economical option as it requires less investment. However, the MRL traction elevator generates noise as it does not have a machine room.

Cost composition of home elevator

Home elevators are indeed very useful in life, and their price is also determined by many factors. Let's explain the factors that determine the price of home elevators.

Size and Capacity

The size of the elevator directly impacts the cost of the project. The larger the elevator, the higher the cost in terms of materials and labor. Normally, a 10 to 15 square foot elevator is considered an affordable option.

Here is the estimated cost of an elevator based on its size:

Number of Floors

The more floors you need to install the elevator for, the more it will cost. Each floor costs approximately between $5,000 and $15,000. So, the number of floors you decide to install the elevator on depends on you. A two-story house is more affordable.

Labor

Labor is an important part of the cost of an elevator. The price ranges from $500 to $1,500. Therefore, it costs more to install an elevator in an old house than in a new house. Old houses do not have an elevator shaft. They need to install an external shaft. The external shaft can be made of aluminum alloy or steel structure.

Installation and Construction

If you install an elevator in a new house, it will be economical. However, installing an elevator in an existing house is not economical. To install an elevator in an old house, you may need to hire an architect, build a wall, repair the carpentry frame, install a ceiling, replace an electrical panel, and hire a structural engineer.

How to save money by installing a home elevator

You want to install an elevator in your home and want to install the elevator at a more favorable and affordable price. If your answer is yes, then to save money, all you need to do is check out and follow the tips below:

• Install the right elevator:2-3 people in the home elevator is enough, the larger the elevator size, the more materials are required, and the higher the price. 400kg elevators are more affordable than other elevators. In addition, two-story elevators are more economical than multi-story elevators.

• Install an Elevator in a New House: If you install an elevator in an existing house, the installation cost will be higher than installing an elevator in a new house. Therefore, it is important to determine the location of the elevator when building a villa.

• Rely on a Highly Qualified Team:Always hire a professional service with good reviews. This will complete the task within a limited time, saving labor and time.
