Home lift price: How much does a home lift cost?
Do you know what the price of a home lift is? Many people believe that a lift for your home is an expensive and unnecessary luxury feature. However, a lift offers great everyday comfort to you and your family and future-proofs your home for your golden years. In so many ways, a residential lift is a smart investment, and you have the power to influence the price level a great deal in your design choices.
With the introduction of an increasing number of home lift products on the market, home lift prices have become much more affordable. Home lift prices can vary considerably, depending on the type of the home lift and the lift company you choose as well as on what services are included in your offer. So always make sure you compare equivalent lift products and offers before deciding. For example, a stairlift will have a lower price point than a platform lift, but the two lift types are too different for a direct comparison.
The price of a lift will also vary greatly depending on your requirements and specification. Cibes offers a wide range of products, from affordable wheelchair-friendly lifts for those who need them most to very luxurious, customisable home lifts.
How much does a residential lift cost?
So, how much does a home lift cost? The short answer is that it depends on your choice of lift model, specification and installation environment. Watch our video to find out more!
Home lift cost
To be able to give you a realistic price for your home lift, we will always ask you some questions first:
- How much space do you need inside the lift? Does the lift need to accommodate a wheelchair?
- How many floors does it need to serve?
- What is the total travel of the lift?
- How much room do you have for the lift (w x d, each floor)?
- Will the lift be installed indoors or outdoors?
- Do you want additional options, such as automatic door openers or customised colours?
To give you a rough idea of the price span, a lift serving 2 floors may cost anything from 23 000 € – 45 000 € + VAT. Cibes lift solutions are less expensive than most other lifts on the market, thanks to the comparatively low lift installation costs. In addition, our screw-driven lifts require less maintenance than residential hydraulic or belt-driven lifts.
Additional home elevator costs
When buying a home elevator, you should not only consider the cost of the lift and its installation, but also additional costs such as construction changes, energy costs and maintenance costs.
Construction cost
In addition to the cost of purchasing the lift, you should also consider the cost of structural modifications of your home. A Cibes lift does not require a lift pit, external machine room or top machinery. This minimises the need for structural changes and saves time and money.
Some Cibes dealers will include the preparations and building work related to the lift installation in their quotation. Others may only include the lift installation and quote the surrounding building work separately. Ask your local Cibes dealer to find out what is included in your offer.
Energy cost
Our home lifts are very energy-efficient and carry an energy label A when equipped with the EcoSilent drive system. Regardless of the drive system, all of our platform lift models have energy label A in stand-by mode. The energy your lift consumes, of course, also depends on how often it is used. The more frequently you use your lift, the higher the energy costs.
For example, a home lift with 2 stops, and a 3.6 m travel, used 20 times a day, consumes about 481 kWh/year with our standard drive system, but only 215 kWh/year, if equipped with EcoSilent.
Lift delivery cost
The delivery cost of a lift is often quite expensive. Therefore it is important to know whether the transport and delivery of your lift are included in your quotation or not. Our lift quotations always include delivery costs, which is important to know when comparing offers between Cibes and other lift manufacturers.
All Cibes lift models come in ready-made elements that are delivered in space-efficient, manageable packages. This minimises the space needed to transport your lift in the truck, reducing both transport cost and environmental impact.
Maintenance cost
One of our main advantages is that our lifts are low-maintenance, compared to hydraulic elevators or belt-driven lifts. However, for all lifts, correct and regular maintenance is key to ensuring the quality and safety of the lift users. High-quality maintenance will also extend the product lifespan.
How often your lift needs maintenance depends on several factors, such as the frequency of use and whether it is an indoor or or outdoor lift. Ask you local Cibes dealer for advice and you will get a contract and a maintenance plan tailored to your needs.
The quotation process
Your Cibes dealer will provide you with a detailed quotation:
- The first quotation is based on your initial lift specification.
- Generally, your lift quotation is valid for 3 months (max).
- If you change your specification, the price will change.
- Changes to your specification may also affect the delivery time.
- Once the lift specification is set, you will receive the final price and delivery time.
