Introduction to Fully-Electric Home Elevators
Fully-electric home elevators are transforming the way Australians think about residential mobility. Unlike traditional hydraulic systems, these advanced lifts deliver quiet operation, energy efficiency and sustainability, making them the preferred choice for modern, eco-conscious homeowners, architects and builders.
How Electric Drives Work vs Hydraulic Systems
Electric elevators use a traction drive system powered by a compact motor, eliminating the need for hydraulic fluids. This means no risk of leaks, no noisy pumps and no bulky machinery. Instead, homeowners benefit from a clean, quiet and space-efficient system that integrates seamlessly into new builds or retrofits.
Energy Efficiency: A-Grade Rating and Low Power Draw
- European A-grade energy efficiency rating
- Runs on a standard single-phase 230V, 10A home power supply
- Lower running costs compared to hydraulic alternatives
- Minimal energy consumption even with regular daily use
Quiet and Smooth Operation
Noise levels for fully-electric elevators are significantly lower than hydraulic lifts, typically under 50 decibels. This makes them ideal for residential use, particularly in luxury homes where discreet performance is essential. Customers frequently praise the whisper-quiet ride and seamless floor-to-floor travel.
Minimal Maintenance and Eco-Friendly Operation
- No hydraulic oil or fluid servicing required
- Fewer moving parts reduce wear and tear
- Environmentally sustainable with cleaner operation
- Lower lifetime servicing costs compared to hydraulic systems
Technical Specifications and Savings
All Next Level Elevators residential models are powered by a fully electric VVVF traction drive system. They operate on standard household power, consume less energy than hydraulic lifts, and are certified with European A-grade efficiency standards. This combination ensures lower electricity bills and reduced environmental impact.
Customer Experiences
Homeowners across Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne highlight the reliability and quietness of their fully-electric elevators. Many note the seamless integration into both modern builds and renovated properties, as well as the reduced need for maintenance compared with hydraulic lifts.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are electric lifts really quieter than hydraulic lifts?
Yes. Fully-electric home elevators typically operate under 50 dB, making them significantly quieter than hydraulic lifts which use noisy pumps and machinery.
How much power do fully-electric home elevators use?
They run on a standard 230V, 10A single-phase power supply, similar to many common household appliances.
What maintenance is required for electric lifts?
Electric lifts require minimal servicing due to fewer mechanical parts and no hydraulic fluids. This results in lower lifetime maintenance costs.
Are electric home elevators more environmentally friendly?
Yes. They have a European A-grade energy efficiency rating, use less electricity, and eliminate the risk of hydraulic fluid leaks, making them cleaner and more sustainable.
Can electric lifts run on standard Australian home power supplies?
Absolutely. All models operate on standard 230V, 10A single-phase power, making them ideal for Australian homes without special electrical requirements.
