An elevator can change the way people view the value and standards of your commercial property. It is an important part of a building, so it needs to be working correctly and in good condition at all times.<\/p>\n

Elevators have many parts that all need to work together for them to function properly.<\/p>\n

Here are some common elevator questions that Commercial Property Managers have. Included are the answers so you can ensure that your elevators are always running smoothly and safely.<\/p>\n

Are Elevators Safe?<\/h2>\n

Commercial elevators are some of the safest\u00a0pieces of machinery<\/a>\u00a0in existence. This is because they have been created with safety as a primary concern. They are also tested regularly by their manufacturers.<\/p>\n

If your elevator has been inspected recently, there should not be anything to worry about.<\/p>\n

What Makes an Elevator Safe?<\/h2>\n

Passengers trust elevators every day. But they don\u2019t always understand how elevators are constructed or how they work. An elevator is a machine, and like any machine, it has parts that can fail.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why proper maintenance and regular inspections are so important. Elevators also rely on electronic systems to operate safely.<\/p>\n

If you notice problems with your elevator, contact an\u00a0elevator repair company<\/a>\u00a0immediately.<\/p>\n

How Many People Can an Elevator Hold?<\/h2>\n

People sometimes ask how many people can fit in an elevator. To answer that question, you need to know how big the elevator is.<\/p>\n

It may come as a surprise to learn that there are many different sizes of elevators available in today\u2019s market.<\/p>\n

How Often Should I Have My Elevator Serviced?<\/h2>\n

While most elevators come with an\u00a0elevator maintenance<\/a>\u00a0schedule, it\u2019s essential to have your elevator serviced regularly.<\/p>\n

Most industry standards suggest an annual inspection. Yet, you should have your elevator inspected at least every six months. Consider monthly inspections if you\u2019re looking to sell your property.<\/p>\n

How Long Does It Take to Service an Elevator?<\/h2>\n

Service times vary by elevator model. But in general, it can take anywhere from 1-4 hours.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for a ballpark, expect to schedule your elevator service at least one day in advance. The good news is that most elevator problems are fixed within a day or two.<\/p>\n

Why Are Some Elevators Noisy?<\/h2>\n

There is a good chance that elevators are noisy because of loose bolts or metal parts. Once you locate exactly where it\u2019s coming from, you should bring in\u00a0an expert<\/a>\u00a0to check things out.<\/p>\n

Noisy elevators are often a sign of bigger problems, such as improper installation. The best way to fix noise issues is to figure out why they\u2019re occurring in the first place.<\/p>\n

Once you have a diagnosis, you can take preventative action and avoid further complications down the road.<\/p>\n

Is It Possible to Get Parts for My Existing Elevator?<\/h2>\n

Yes, it is. Yet, not all elevator companies sell parts for older elevators. Instead, they may replace them, but only if they deem it necessary.<\/p>\n

More Answers to Your Elevator Questions<\/h2>\n

But in other cases, there might be a physical obstruction that is stopping your elevator from functioning properly.<\/p>\n
