Suggestions and precautions for purchasing
First, clarify the structure of the house: choose the screw type if it has been renovated, and choose the traction type if the hoistway is reserved for the new house. Secondly, pay attention to safety certification (such as GB 7588 or EN 81-20) and confirm the after-sales service response time. It is recommended to compare at least 3 brands and ask for a detailed quotation clearly including the items (shaft, door, installation, commissioning, warranty). When the budget is limited, you can consider domestic mid-range brands with outstanding cost performance.
FAQ
How much is the minimum price for a small home two-story elevator?
The lowest price in the market is about 80,000 to 100,000 yuan, but it is usually a domestic basic screw elevator, which does not include luxury decoration, and the cost of shaft modification needs to be considered. It is recommended to budget more than 100,000 yuan to ensure safety and quality.
Is it necessary to reserve a shaft when installing a two-story small elevator?
Not necessarily. Screw elevators can have their own shaft (aluminum alloy frame) and do not need to be reserved; traction elevators usually require an independent concrete or steel structure shaft, which is recommended to be reserved during the house design stage.
Which is cheaper, screw type or drag type?
The screw elevator is usually cheaper (100,000 to 150,000 yuan) and easy to install; the traction type requires a shaft and a pit, so the total price is slightly higher (130,000 to 200,000 yuan), but the operation is smoother and the energy efficiency is higher.
How long is the service life of a home elevator?
Generally 15 to 25 years, depending on the brand, maintenance and frequency of use. Screw elevators have low maintenance costs due to their simple structure, but the screw needs to be replaced regularly due to wear.
How much does it cost to maintain an elevator?
The annual maintenance cost is about 2,000 to 5,000 yuan, including lubrication, inspection, and replacement of wearing parts. Some brands provide free maintenance for the first two years, and subsequent renewals are based on the contract.
Are there any subsidies or preferential policies for purchasing a home elevator?
There is currently no unified subsidy at the national level, but some provinces and cities provide subsidies for the installation of elevators in old communities (subject to meeting conditions). It is recommended to consult the local housing and construction department or elevator seller.
Does a two-story small elevator require special equipment inspection?
Home elevators are not special equipment subject to mandatory supervision (usually load ≤ 400kg, speed ≤ 0.4m/s), but it is recommended to choose products that comply with GB 7588 or EN 81 standards and have them regularly maintained by the manufacturer.
Which brand of home elevator is the most cost-effective?
Domestic brands such as Cibes, Otis, Schindler, etc. all have household series, but the cost-effectiveness needs to be combined with local services. It is recommended to choose a brand with many after-sales outlets and a good reputation, such as a certain brand or a certain domestic brand.
Case
Mr. Zhang from Beijing: A screw elevator was installed in a 5-story villa with a total price of 158,000 yuan
Mr. Zhang's home is a two-story detached villa. In order to facilitate the elderly to go up and downstairs, he chose a certain brand of screw elevator. No hoistway is required, only 1.2m×1.0m space is required, and the installation period is 3 days. The total cost includes the elevator, shaft frame, installation and basic decoration. After half a year of use, it was reported that it runs quietly and has no obvious faults. Maintenance costs 2,400 yuan per year.
Ms. Li from Shanghai: Reserved shaft for new house to install traction elevator, total price 185,000 yuan
Ms. Li reserved a 1.6m×1.5m concrete shaft before decoration and chose a domestic traction elevator. The price includes hoistway renovation, car customization (stainless steel + wood veneer), automatic doors and intelligent control systems. After one year of use, it runs smoothly, but the shaft takes up part of the storage space. Overall, I am satisfied.
