Money Saving Tips
How to Save on Your Elevator

A home elevator adds 15-25% to your property value in Chennai's real estate market. A ₹6 lakh investment can increase a ₹1.5 crore property's value by ₹22.5-37.5 lakhs.

Expert Advice
Our Expert Recommendation
Professional Insight
Expert Recommendation
For Chennai homes up to G+3 floors, we recommend the Asco Home Standard with hydraulic drive and automatic telescopic doors. This configuration offers the best value (₹4.5-6.5L), requires only 150mm pit depth (ideal for Chennai homes), provides whisper-quiet operation (below 50 dB), and includes all essential safety features. If you have a new construction, invest in MRL drive for long-term energy savings. Always budget 15% extra for contingencies. Most importantly, never compromise on safety — ensure your installation includes ARD (battery rescue device), overload sensor, and door interlocks regardless of budget.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Avoid These
Common Mistakes
Mistake 01
Choosing the cheapest quote without comparing scope — lower quotes often exclude shaft work, electricals, or taxes
Mistake 02
Not factoring in AMC costs — a cheap installation with no AMC leads to expensive breakdown repairs
Mistake 03
Oversizing the elevator — a 6-person cabin in a 2-person home wastes space and money
Mistake 04
Skipping the site survey — installation issues discovered after order lead to change orders and delays
Mistake 05
Ignoring power supply requirements — some homes need 3-phase connection which costs extra
Mistake 06
Not checking warranty terms — some brands offer only 1 year vs Asco's comprehensive coverage
