Not all common issues are as obvious as slow response times or frequent breakdowns. Lifts contribute towards a high proportion of the energy used within a building, without a metre to monitor energy used, few realise exactly how much energy lifts use – especially in high traffic environments.
The most common symptoms of a lift in need of a major overhaul is an increase in service calls. As components wear with age they require adjustments often interfering with the operation of the lift or rendering it unusable until tended to.
