Elevators are not noticed until they stop working, so it is easy for business owners, building managers, apartment complex managers, and janitorial supervisors to forget about them altogether. Other maintenance issues, such as changing light bulbs, keeping the floors and lobbies clean, and securing the locks are remembered because everyone notices when those things are not done. A preventative maintenance contract for the elevators can ensure that they will not be overlooked. Elevator Technologies Inc. in Washington DC offers maintenance contracts to businesses and private residents to keep their elevators operating properly.
Contracts save time and money in a few ways. First, preventative maintenance is scheduled on time, so parts do not get worn down, connections do not become loose, and fluids do not dry out. It is similar to an automobile getting an oil change. Completed on time, it is preventative whereas waiting too long before getting it done causes problems and takes more time to complete. It also means one less thing for managers to remember. Money is saved because any repairs needed are spotted while they are minor. Major repairs cost more money to fix than minor ones. It is less expensive to change a belt in a motor than to replace the entire motor. More time is saved when preventative maintenance avoids an elevator breakdown. A breakdown will slow down business, leave disabled people stranded on different floors, and make those stuck in the elevator panic. Customers can do to to set up a maintenance contract.
Repairs and services are diagnosed quickly and fixed by experienced technicians for traction and hydraulic elevator systems. Emergency repairs are also available 24/7. Free estimates are offered, and there is a one year warranty on all products and services installed or completed by Elevator Technologies Inc. in Washington DC. A call should be made to the company as soon as possible if anyone notices a sudden spike in energy usage, any overheating, slow response times, a burning or foul odor, or a hesitation to start. These may be signs of a problem and should be checked out immediately. Do not wait until the elevator stops working to begin thinking about routine maintenance or regular service.
