  • Only two floors to connect. Consider the LUMA shaftless elevator.

Residential elevator types compared goes through each in more depth.

How Much Room Does an Elevator Need?

Less than most people expect. Pneumatic and through-floor models fit in a corner, and a traditional elevator often fits in a stack of closets. See how much space a home elevator needs for typical footprints.

Elevator, Stair Lift or Platform Lift?

For one staircase and one rider, a stair lift is quicker and costs less. For entry steps, a wheelchair lift is the usual answer. For basements, see stair lift or elevator for basement access. Book a free in-home assessment.

Home Elevator FAQs

Can a home elevator reach the basement?

Yes. Traditional and pneumatic elevators can stop at the basement, the main floor and the upper floor. A shaftless elevator serves two levels only.

Is a home elevator practical in a ranch-style house?

It can be. Many ranch homes have a finished basement, and an elevator or a stair lift makes that lower level usable for everyone.

How do I choose between the elevator types?

It comes down to how many floors you need to reach, the space available, who will ride and your budget. We go through each of these with you during the assessment.

Do home elevators use a lot of electricity?

No. Most residential elevators run on household electrical service and only draw power for the short time they are moving.
