In recent years, home elevators have become increasingly popular. With hundreds of ways to customize a home elevator, the task of selecting the best elevator at the best price can be intimidating. In the end, whether installed to create a more luxurious home or to improve the mobility of a disabled family member, home elevators can add significant value to your home that boosts its value by up to 10 percent.
2014 prices of elevators range from $15,000 to $20,000, with the least expensive models costing about $10,000 and the most expensive exceeding $100,000.
The cost of a home elevator depends largely on its features, from weight capacity to type and durability of materials to the decoration of the interior of the cab and in-line or opposite openings. If interior decorations like carpeting and chandeliers and exiting on the same or opposite sides at each elevator exit point aren't important to you, you can opt for a small winding drum elevator and save money.
The size and number of stops of a home elevator also impacts the cost. An elevator cab that is three feet wide and four feet deep costs less than one that is three feet wide and five feet deep and an elevator connecting only two floors is more affordable than one with several stops.
The type of elevator you choose also impacts the price. You can choose a roped-hydraulic, vacuum, counter-weighted chain drive, winding drum or pneumatic drive elevator, with prices fluctuating with different models and when applied in different settings.
The price of a home elevator also increases when it is being retrofitted to an existing home instead of being installed in a new construction.
Home elevator prices also rise when custom features are added. A custom elevator can be designed that blends in with your home with finished wood paneling, metal, stone or a unique shape, such as an old-fashioned bird cage. These unique features increase the price.
