FAQ

Wheeling elevator questions

Do home elevators in Illinois need inspection?

Yes — residential elevating devices must meet the elevator safety code (ASME A17.1 / CSA B44) and local requirements administered by the Office of the State Fire Marshal (with the City of Chicago for Chicago buildings), and usually need a building permit.

Are platform lifts safe for daily use?

Yes, when installed and maintained to code. They're a good fit for step-free access over a few levels.

How much does a home elevator cost in Wheeling?

Cost depends on the lift type, number of stops, shaft work and finishes — a platform lift is usually the most economical, a full home elevator with custom cab the most involved. We quote after a site visit.

Can you match the cab to our interior?

Yes. Panels, ceilings, lighting, flooring and handrails can be selected to match your home, within the car's weight limits.

What are home lifts, and are they available in Illinois?

Home lifts include residential elevators and platform lifts installed in private homes. They are available across Illinois and must meet the elevator safety code (ASME A17.1 / CSA B44) and local inspection requirements.

Compliance

Elevator rules in USA

  1. Elevators in Illinois are inspected and permitted under the Office of the State Fire Marshal (with the City of Chicago for Chicago buildings); most US jurisdictions adopt ASME A17.1 / A17.3 as the safety code.
  2. Inspection intervals and permit requirements vary by city and county, so we confirm the authority having jurisdiction for every Wheeling project.
  3. Only licensed or registered elevator contractors and mechanics may install, alter or maintain elevators where the state requires it.

Every Northline Elevators installation in Wheeling starts in the home: we measure, review drawings with your architect or builder, and recommend a lift that fits both the space and the way you live.

We coordinate permits and inspection with the Office of the State Fire Marshal (with the City of Chicago for Chicago buildings) so your home elevator is approved and ready to use.

Cold winters, road salt and grit wear door sills and tracks, and hydraulic cars slow down in unheated spaces.
