FAQ
The order lists deficiencies and a deadline. We quote and schedule the corrections so the device stays licensed with the Office of the State Fire Marshal (with the City of Chicago for Chicago buildings).
Modern drives and LED lighting usually reduce elevator energy use compared with older motor-generator or relay systems.
Yes — elevating devices are subject to periodic inspection and testing requirements under the elevator safety code (ASME A17.1 / CSA B44) as adopted in Illinois, administered by the Office of the State Fire Marshal (with the City of Chicago for Chicago buildings). We schedule and document required tests.
Usually several weeks per car, depending on scope. We phase multi-car buildings so at least one elevator keeps running.

Chicago metro
Owners across the Chicago metro area tell us the same story: the elevators still run, but parts take weeks and every breakdown costs tenants a day. Modernizing before the controller fails completely is cheaper and far less disruptive.
We provide a written scope, a phased schedule and a cost range before anything is ordered, so boards and owners in Mount Prospect can budget properly.
Cold winters, road salt and grit wear door sills and tracks, and hydraulic cars slow down in unheated spaces.
