August 26, 2025 by Arrow Lift

A home elevator is more than a convenienceโ€”itโ€™s a statement of modern luxury and comfort. Enabling seamless travel between floors, with elegant design features and quiet operation, itโ€™s easy to see why residential elevators are becoming a more common feature in many homes

But if your home elevator doesnโ€™t seem to be working properly, that sense of ease can quickly turn into frustration. Fortunately, not every issue requires a service call. This quick guide to home elevator troubleshooting can help you identify and resolve common problems, so you can get back to enjoying the smooth, stress-free experience your elevator was built to deliver.

Important note: Home elevators are valuable convenience and safety-enhancing devices when installed and maintained properly. However, they can present safety hazards if not installed by trained professionals or when neglected for long periods of time. We always recommend you consult an experienced, local home elevator company if you have doubts about the condition or safety of your home elevator.

Does the Number of Stories/Stops Impact the Cost of a Home Elevator

May 7, 2025 by Arrow Lift

Does the number of stops or stories impact the cost of a home elevator?

A home elevator is more than just a convenience. Itโ€™s a statement of luxury and sophistication. While shaftless home elevators are designed for two stops, if your home spans multiple levels youโ€™ll need an elevator that can accommodate three or more stops. That raises an important question: Does the number of stories or stops impact the cost of a home elevator?

To plan your installation effectively and keep costs within your desired budget, itโ€™s important to understand how your homeโ€™s layout influences the overall expense. Hereโ€™s a closer look at how the number of stories and stops factor into the cost of a home elevator.
