When you are preparing to sell a property or looking to attract new tenants in a competitive real estate market, paying attention to the details can make all the difference. When it comes to improving your property’s market value, a sometimes-overlooked area is your elevator.

Fully modernized and aesthetically pleasing elevators can significantly enhance the appeal of your building and ensure an increase in your revenue potential. Follow these guidelines to boost your property value by leveraging your property's vertical transportation systems...

The summer heat can cause catastrophic damage to your elevator equipment, so don't let your lift get you fired up. Although it may be cool today, you can rest assured that the heat of summer is just around the corner. The warmer temps may sound appealing to you personally, but they can be downright crippling to your facility. Seasonal temperature fluctuations often cause power disruptions and major equipment malfunctions. When the thermometer spikes, ensure that your investments are protected with these energy-saving applications!

Elevator systems are vital components of modern buildings, ensuring convenient and efficient vertical transportation. However, their functionality can be severely compromised by a hidden threat: water intrusion into the elevator pit. Water infiltration poses a significant threat to elevators, potentially causing extensive damage and safety hazards. Building owners have a responsibility to protect their elevator systems, and fortunately, innovative solutions exist to prevent liquid intrusion and its consequences.

Ensuring the safety of your building's occupants is paramount. This includes keeping your elevators up to date with the latest code requirements. In Florida, an upcoming regulation known as Door Lock Monitoring (DLM) is required to be in place by August 1, 2025. Unfortunetly, many property owners have neglected to place this manditory upgrade as a priority and are bracing for the potential of being flagged in violation of this safety code.

Imagine taking a trip to your office building. You press the elevator button, the doors slide open, and you step inside. As the elevator comes to a rest at your destination, a sudden jolt throws you off balance. Thankfully, modern safety features prevent a free-fall scenario depicted in countless movies. However, less dramatic safety concerns do exist, prompting code updates to address potential hazards.

This blog post dives into a critical deadline for elevator compliance in Florida. We'll explore the upcoming changes, explain your options for meeting the code, and highlight the advantages of proactive elevator modernization.
