Why Preventative Elevator Maintenance Matters
Elevators are essential to modern buildings, ensuring smooth vertical transportation for residents, tenants, and visitors. To keep them operating safely and reliably, preventative maintenance and code-required testing are critical. Unlike reactive maintenance—where issues are only addressed after failure—preventative maintenance focuses on proactive care, identifying problems early and preventing costly breakdowns.
At Aligned Elevator, we specialize in comprehensive preventative maintenance programs that keep your elevators running at peak performance year-round.
What Is Preventative Maintenance?
Preventative maintenance is a scheduled, proactive approach to elevator care. By conducting regular inspections, adjustments, and safety checks, building owners can prevent small issues from turning into expensive repairs or disruptive downtime. This strategy ensures elevators remain reliable, compliant, and efficient.
