An elevator maintenance plan is a regular schedule of care and checks for your lift system. Think of it like a car service, but for your elevator! You need it because consistent maintenance is key to keeping elevators in both homes and businesses running safely and smoothly. It helps prevent unexpected breakdowns, which means better experiences for passengers and happier tenants. Ultimately, a good plan ensures your elevator is reliable and performs at its best every single day.

What's inside your Elevator maintenance plan?

When you get an elevator maintenance plan, expect it to cover two main things: 1. What work will be done: This outlines all the inspections, adjustments, and preventative tasks your elevator will receive. 2. Parts coverage: This specifies which parts (if any) are included if they need to be replaced during maintenance. These two factors, along with your elevator type and contract length, are what primarily determine the plan's cost.

A few common items you may see in a maintenance plan are:

* Routine maintenance coverage
* Parts covered
* Times of normal working hours
* Communication options
* Customer support contacts
* Clarifications/exclusions, insurance
* Building responsibilities
* Elevator service provider responsibilities
* Environmental and safety expectations and practices
* Term, price and any price adjustment(s)
* Billing details and tax status
