Reduce Elevator Operating Costs With These Tips<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Maintaining a property can be expensive, especially if you want to keep it in the best shape possible. With all the costs adding up, property managers try to cut costs wherever they can. Try starting with your elevator. We have compiled a few ways to reduce the operating costs of your commercial elevator.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Read Your Service Contract<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

There\u2019s a chance your service contract offers more services than you realize. If you don\u2019t utilize all the services included in your contract, you\u2019re not maximizing what you\u2019ve already paid for. Read through the contract to make sure you\u2019re not missing any regular inspections, maintenance, or common repairs that are included.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Once you know what you\u2019re entitled to under your contract, schedule those services when they come up. You should always keep current on elevator testing dates, inspection dates, and other important service calls.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Learn About Your Equipment<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Each elevator is going to run at a little bit different capacity than the next. It\u2019s important you learn about the specific equipment your building houses, not just elevators in general. Come to understand the history of elevators and how your particular model stacks up. Learn about the lifecycle of your elevator and what potential risks it holds. Understanding these things will help you with preventative maintenance and getting the most out of your elevator.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Keep Good Records<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

When you get bills or other statements regarding your elevator, make sure you look through them and then file them in an organized system. This will allow you to pick up on patterns. For example, you may notice the same or a similar repair happening every 6 months. Having this knowledge will allow you to budget for that repair ahead of time or that it might be time to start thinking about modernization or replacement, giving you a head start on budgeting.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
