If your lift is ageing or if you’ve noticed any issues, such as slow running speed or strange noises then you may need a lift refurbishment. A lift is a long term investment and so making a few simple repairs and upgrades could drastically enhance the lifespan of your lift, whilst improving its efficiency. A less expensive alternative to a full replacement, a lift refurbishment can be a cost-effective way of maintaining the lift in your building without needing to spend a fortune. These are just a few of the ways that a lift refurbishment can help you save money:

Avoid Replacement Costs

One of the major benefits of a lift refurbishment is that it prevents the cost of spending money on replacing the entire mechanism. In most cases a lift refurbishment will be sufficient to return the mechanism to a safe operating standard. However, if it is more than 25 years old, or if you’re noticing major signs of damage such as frequent breakdowns, then a replacement may be necessary. It’s best to make repairs at the first signs of trouble, primarily for safety reasons, but also to prevent the need for a full replacement or major repairs later on. A lift refurbishment will rejuvenate your lift, preventing the need for replacing expensive parts if left to wear down.

Improve Energy Efficiency

If your lift has been installed for a good while, then it may not be running as efficiently as it could be. If it is inefficient, then it may be costing you unnecessary money. A lift refurbishment can upgrade the efficiency of your lift and improve its functionality. Improving energy efficiency will not only help to reduce the cost of energy at your business or home, it will also be hugely beneficial to the environment. Not to mention, it will help to boost functionality, ensuring the lift runs quicker and smoother, setting the right impression for customers and clients in business settings.

Enhance Longevity

One of the most important benefits of undertaking a lift refurbishment is enhancing the lift’s longevity. As we mentioned a little earlier on, when installed by a trusted supplier, lifts are built to last. That being said, it’s still important to enhance their longevity by ensuring proper upkeep and maintenance. A lift refurbishment can help to extend its lifetime, reducing the need for a full replacement which can cost huge amounts of money.

Saving On Material Usage

A well maintained lift should last between 15-20 years, however you may start noticing that more and more parts need replacing as time goes on. Investing in a lift refurbishment will prevent the need for multiple ad hoc repairs further down the line, reducing the need to spend money on multiple materials and parts. A lift refurbishment also uses a lot less material than a full replacement, reducing the cost whilst also helping to reduce waste, which is important for protecting the planet.
