FAQ

Chicago elevator questions

Are platform lifts safe for daily use?

Yes, when installed and maintained to code. They're a good fit for step-free access over a few levels.

Do you work with architects and builders?

Yes — we review drawings early so the shaft, power and finishes are planned properly.

How much does a home elevator cost in Chicago?

Cost depends on the lift type, number of stops, shaft work and finishes — a platform lift is usually the most economical, a full home elevator with custom cab the most involved. We quote after a site visit.

How long does a home elevator installation take?

Timelines depend on construction work for the shaft and permits; the elevator installation itself is usually a matter of weeks once the shaft is ready.

What maintenance does a home elevator need?

Regular preventive visits, set by the manufacturer and the elevator safety code (ASME A17.1 / CSA B44) requirements, keep it safe and quiet. We keep records for your files.

Every Meridian Elevators installation in Chicago starts in the home: we measure, review drawings with your architect or builder, and recommend a lift that fits both the space and the way you live.

We coordinate permits and inspection with the Office of the State Fire Marshal (with the City of Chicago for Chicago buildings) so your home elevator is approved and ready to use.

Cold winters, road salt and grit wear door sills and tracks, and hydraulic cars slow down in unheated spaces.

Compliance

Elevator rules in USA

  1. Elevators in Illinois are inspected and permitted under the Office of the State Fire Marshal (with the City of Chicago for Chicago buildings); most US jurisdictions adopt ASME A17.1 / A17.3 as the safety code.
  2. Inspection intervals and permit requirements vary by city and county, so we confirm the authority having jurisdiction for every Chicago project.
  3. Only licensed or registered elevator contractors and mechanics may install, alter or maintain elevators where the state requires it.
