This really puts those who have mobility issues or use a wheelchair at a disadvantage. Homes with in-home elevators make it easier for everyone.

Often, people wonder if an elevator will add value to their home. Luckily, a home elevator not only makes a home more accessible to those with disabilities, but it can also add property value to a home. Depending on the type of elevator, and overall design, a home elevator can add thousands of dollars in property value to a home.

Does your home already have an elevator shaft: If your home already has an elevator shaft, it will be much cheaper to install a home elevator. Why? Because retrofit elevators are much less expensive to construct than a brand new elevator shaft. Retrofitted elevators can cost as low as $20,000 while a new construction elevator may cost up to $80,000.

Elevator maintenance cost: Regular elevator maintenance will allow your home elevator to remain functional for years to come. Elevator maintenance costs an average of $200-500 per maintenance visit.

The best thing about installing a new elevator in a home under construction is it's less expensive than adding an elevator to an existing home.

Two-floor elevators in new homes start around $20,000 with each additional stop costing an additional $1,500 to $2,000.

Home owners who choose to attach the elevator to the exterior of the home rather than indoors can expect the cost of the unit to start at $30,000 or more.The price of a home elevator is also influenced by its size, carrying capacity, safety features and speed.

Pneumatic vacuum elevators are the latest model of home elevators that are air-driven tube elevators that take up less space than traditional elevators and don't require a hoistway or machine room.

Close up all vents and openings in top of hoistway and machine room to prevent water from intruding.While this procedure appears obvious, it should be noted that adequate ventilation for the elevator machinery is necessary. If the machine room is air-conditioned, you shouldn't have vents for the machine room, unless they're used for emergencies. If you depend on ambient ventilation (powered or passive) this should be done at the very last stages of your facility preparation, as the equipment can heat up much faster than you might think. Hoistway ventilation is not as critical and close-up can be performed early on. It is a risk for fire protection, so this should not be done semi-permanently. Put it on before a storm and take it down after the storm has passed. It is preferable to have a permanent means of preventing water from intruding this space by installing it in a manner that will still allow ventilation, such as a hood over the exterior vent grilles. It should be noted that not all hoistway vents may be readily accessible and permanent covers or hoods should be designed and installed prior to hurricane season to prevent driving rain from entry. Since hoistway vents are at the top of the shaft, they may be readily accessible from the roof of the building. If not, a cover may be installed from the inside, either by your elevator contractor or properly qualified building maintenance personnel.

Run elevator to center of hoistway and pull the main breaker in machine room (not the main breaker located elsewhere).This should be the very last thing you do during the warning phase, just before you evacuate the building. Buildings so designated as ''hurricane safe,'' which will house some personnel, should perform this just before the winds rise above 45 MPH. We have recommended the middle of the hoistway as a compromise.

Generally, if the water encountered in the pit is minimal and is not near any equipment in the pit, the elevator may be run. If water leaked under the door or through a vent in the elevator machine room, and there is no water on the equipment or signs of water having been on the equipment, then it may be safe to run the elevator. If water is in the cab and it did not leak in from above, the elevator may be run. If water conditions appear above the cab or on any part of the equipment do not run it until it can be properly evaluated.

There is a man that takes the elevator down from the 21st floor of his apartment building in order to get to work every day. When the work day is over and he comes back home, he takes the elevator to the 15th floor and takes the stairs the rest of the way up.

An elevator in the home can be medically necessary in the case of individuals desiring an independent life but facing mobility issues due to age or physical disability. Home elevators are practical additions to the home which can increase its value, and the only reimbursable expenses are those which exceed the amount of value added to the home.

Home elevators enhance accessibility and also allow individuals to move heavy loads between floors. This is often the most appealing aspect of a home elevator. Elevators allow individuals to move quickly and effortlessly between floors of their home, and can carry large amounts of weight, allowing the individual to perform chores and tasks that would otherwise require outside assistance (Disabled World).

Home elevators are usually customizable and can be selected with a variety of options depending on the vendor and configuration of the home in which the elevator will be installed. There are several different mechanical types of home elevator with various advantages and disadvantages, including cost.

Elevators also require inspection, usually every six to twelve months, and routine maintenance and repair. In terms of size, home elevators are about the size of a walk-in closet. Home elevators usually require a machine room too, which can be located in the basement.

If a physician suggests a home elevator is required for treatment, mitigation, prevention, cure or diagnosis of a medical condition, a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) can be obtained for FSA, HSA and potentially HRA reimbursement (always check plan guidelines).
