Elevators are more than just a way to move people between floors—they’re a critical part of a building’s infrastructure, impacting energy efficiency, operational costs, and overall user experience. As your trusted partner in vertical transportation, Allied Elevator understands that modernization isn’t just about upgrading equipment; it’s about creating safer, more efficient, and more sustainable buildings for the people who rely on them every day.
1. Reducing Energy Consumption with Smarter Technology
Older elevators often use outdated motors, inefficient lighting, and power-hungry control systems that drive up energy costs. Modernization introduces gearless traction motors, regenerative drives, and LED lighting, all of which significantly reduce power consumption. Regenerative drives, for example, can capture and reuse energy, cutting elevator power usage by up to 40%. That’s not just good for your building’s bottom line—it’s a meaningful step toward sustainability.
2. Improving Compliance with Changing Codes
Building codes and safety regulations are constantly evolving, and outdated elevator systems can fall out of compliance with ADA elevator requirements, ASME safety codes, and energy efficiency standards. Modernization ensures your equipment meets current regulations, avoiding costly fines and disruptions while improving accessibility for every rider.
3. Enhancing Safety and Reliability for Tenants and Guests
At Allied Elevator, we know that behind every elevator ride is a person who trusts it to work safely and smoothly. Modernization isn’t just about efficiency—it’s about giving peace of mind to building owners, tenants, and visitors. Upgrades like advanced control systems, improved braking mechanisms, and updated emergency communication features ensure every ride is secure and dependable.
4. Minimizing Downtime and Extending Equipment Life
An elevator that frequently breaks down isn’t just an inconvenience—it’s a disruption to daily life. Modernization helps reduce breakdowns and costly repairs by replacing worn-out components with more durable, high-performance technology. That means less downtime, lower maintenance costs, and a better experience for everyone in your building.
5. Future-Proofing Your Building for Efficiency and Comfort
Smart destination dispatch systems and variable frequency drives optimize elevator movement, reducing unnecessary stops and conserving energy. These upgrades improve efficiency while enhancing rider experience, making wait times shorter and rides smoother. For buildings looking to achieve LEED certification or sustainability goals, modernization is a key step toward long-term efficiency.
