Your home lift can be luxurious, silent, and still cost just a few cents a day to run. Next Level Elevators’ residential lifts combine premium Italian design with eco-conscious engineering, delivering smooth performance while keeping energy consumption minimal. Fully electric and single-phase these lifts require only a standard 230V 10A supply. No bulky motors, no hydraulic fluid, no fuss.
What A-Grade Energy Efficiency Means
An A-Grade energy rating is the top tier of efficiency recognised across Europe and increasingly referenced in Australia. It certifies that a product operates with minimal electricity consumption without compromising performance.
Next Level Elevators’ lifts are fully electric drawing around 150W on average, roughly the same as three LED light bulbs. Unlike traditional hydraulic lifts:
- There is no oil
- No heavy motors
- No energy wasted during standby
Every journey is efficient, quiet, and environmentally responsible.
Single-phase operation further reduces complexity. Standard household wiring powers your lift avoiding costly three-phase connections and keeping installation simple and flexible. A-Grade efficiency is not just a label. It is daily savings and long-term sustainability rolled into one.
Electricity Usage and Cost Savings
Consider a typical NLE Volare home elevator. It consumes about 150 kWh per year. At an average Australian electricity rate of $0.35 per kWh, that is just $52 annually, less than the cost of a weekly coffee habit.
Older hydraulic lifts in comparison can use several hundred kWh more per year adding hundreds of dollars to running costs. With NLE lifts sustainable living does not mean compromise. It means smart financial choices alongside environmental responsibility.
Energy-efficient lifts may also contribute to Green Star points or improve your home’s energy rating. A small lift can have a big impact on your sustainability footprint.
