How Much Does A Home Elevator Cost – FAQ

Stiltz products generally run between $26,000-$30,000 for the elevator and installation. Since the construction of each home and the desired placement of the Stiltz lifts varies, the typical construction costs run $4,000-$6,000.

A home lift is typically classified as a freestanding self-contained device that allows for easy access between the floors of a home. Home lifts are easily retrofitted to an existing home because of their design. A residential elevator has a hoistway, pit and a mechanical room. Because of their requirements residential elevators are primarily used for new construction builds or room addition scenarios.

Benefits of a home lift are numerous. Because of their compact size they can be tucked away in the corner of a room and they do not take up much floor space. Home lifts also require very little infrastructure to be placed in the home unlike a residential elevator. Home lifts only require a 220v 15amp circuit to run.
