Electric home elevators are transforming Australian homes, offering a combination of innovation, sustainability and convenience. Once considered a luxury found only in large mansions, they are now becoming practical additions to modern homes. Homeowners are embracing them not just for accessibility, but also for their design versatility and environmental performance.
How electric lifts outperform hydraulic systems
Electric lifts run on standard single-phase power and consume significantly less energy than traditional hydraulic systems. Unlike hydraulic models that rely on fluid pressure and ongoing maintenance, electric lifts operate cleanly and efficiently. This reduced energy usage translates into lower running costs and a smaller carbon footprint, aligning with the growing trend towards eco-friendly living.
A quieter lift with less space required
One of the key advantages of electric home elevators is their quiet operation, making them ideal for residential settings. Their compact design does not require large machine rooms or deep structural pits, allowing seamless integration into both new builds and existing homes with minimal disruption. This flexibility opens up lift installation to a wider range of households and architectural styles.
Custom design and Italian craftsmanship
Next Level Elevators has partnered with Italian manufacturer Eltec to bring high-end, fully electric home elevators to Australia. These models, including the Eltec Volare and HLB, are wheelchair-accessible and offer a wide range of customisable options such as wall finishes, doors and flooring. The combination of Italian design and engineering ensures that the lifts not only perform efficiently but also enhance the aesthetic appeal of a home.
Efficiency leads to long-term value
Although electric elevators may involve higher upfront investment than older systems, the long-term value is clear. Their energy efficiency helps to reduce electricity bills, while their robust design means fewer maintenance issues and a longer lifespan—typically between 20 and 30 years. For homeowners looking for future-proof, low-maintenance infrastructure, electric lifts are a smart and sustainable choice.
Supporting sustainability with government incentives
Sustainable home improvements are increasingly supported by Australian government programs. Initiatives such as the Clean Energy Finance Corporation and the National Disability Insurance Scheme provide rebates, tax incentives and flexible financing options. These supports make electric elevators more accessible for homeowners, particularly those seeking to upgrade for accessibility or energy efficiency.
