Elevator Modernization

Frequently Asked Questions

Elevator modernization is the process of upgrading important components of an existing elevator system. These upgrades improve performance, safety, appearance, and compliance. Modernization may involve replacing control systems, door operators, position indicators, motors, and other parts while keeping the main structure in place.

You may need modernization if your elevator has frequent service issues, runs slowly or noisily, looks outdated, has long wait times, or requires hard-to-find replacement parts. A professional inspection can help determine the best path forward.

Modernization focuses on updating the core systems of an elevator while keeping the existing structure. Full replacement involves removing the entire elevator system and installing a new one. Modernization is often quicker and more cost-effective, especially for buildings that do not require a complete overhaul.

The cost depends on the age, type, and condition of the elevator, as well as the scope of the upgrades. A partial modernization can be more budget-friendly, while full system upgrades will require a larger investment. We offer custom quotes tailored to your needs.

Absolutely! Upgrades like new drives, LED lighting, and improved control systems can reduce energy usage. These updates lower operating costs and support compliance with modern energy standards.

In many cases, yes. We can upgrade features such as control panels, floor indicators, audio announcements, and emergency communication systems to improve accessibility and meet current safety codes.

Temporary shutdowns may be required during certain stages of the work. We do everything possible to minimize disruption, including scheduling work in phases or during off-hours. In buildings with multiple elevators, we typically keep one unit operational while others are upgraded.

Modernization can benefit buildings of all types, but it is especially valuable for apartments, condos, office buildings, hotels, and healthcare facilities. It helps improve reliability, safety, and rider experience while reducing long-term maintenance issues.

Orlando Elevator was professional and helpful when Hampshire House Condominium purchased a new elevator including the modernization. The board primarily dealt with Gerry the sales manager. He was excellent. Also, Chris the president was involved in the installation and the team of installers did an excellent job. Although the company is relatively new the employees have a long history in the elevator industry.

Eugenia S.

I signed with Orlando Elevator after having a terrible experience with TKE. I can’t begin to describe how easy it’s been having Orlando Elevator as our vendor. They’re so easy to work with and our account manager, Chris, is so attentive and easy to reach. All the techs we’ve had onsite have been wonderful. I manage several buildings and I’m at ease knowing we have a trusted elevator vendor, like Orlando Elevator, at our Orlando location.

Alexandra C.

We were very unhappy with our old service company so we called Orlando Elevator, they gave us a proposal very quickly for maintenance and Modernization. I could tell right away that their service was at a higher standard than the other company. It’s been almost a year now and we are very happy with them!
