It reduces repair and energy costs, with potential savingsamounting to thousands of euros. And a modern, spacious elevatoradds to the value of your building.3

IS IT TIME TO MODERNIZEYOUR ELEVATOR?Like any other piece of electrical or mechanical equipment,an elevator eventually needs to be replaced or thoroughlyrepaired. After 25 years, regular maintenance may no longerbe enough. As parts wear out, you may be paying more forrepairs. It may be more difficult to find spare parts for anold elevator, so it may be out of order for longer. The oldelevator in your building might not meet the latest safety andaccessibility regulations. Using it could be difficult for elderlypeople or for someone carrying packages, and it could alsobe consuming more electricity than a modern solution. And ashabby, cramped, and unattractive elevator detracts from thevalue of your home.FIVE THINGS TO CHECK1. Is your elevator often out of order?A modernized elevator reduces repair costs.2. Does it have heavy manual doors?Automatic doors are safer, quieter, andeasier to use.3. Does the elevator stop level with the floor?Uneven leveling poses a safety risk.4. Is the car small and cramped?A new elevator can increase car space byup to 50%.5. Is the interior in poor condition?A smart new elevator interior adds valueto your building.INCREASING NEED FOR MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRSAfter 25 years, elevatorcomponents start towear out and need to bereplaced. The elevatorcould be more expensive tomaintain because of highercosts for repairs and parts.Now is the time to thinkabout your options: replaceindividual components oneat a time, or replace theentire elevator.Elevator age/years4102030

ELEVATOR MODERNIZATION HANDBOOK PL ANNINGA THOROUGHASSESSMENTThe first step is to assess the condition of yourelevator using the checklist on the facing page. Ifthere are several problems with your elevator, get intouch with us to arrange a thorough, no-obligationassessment of your equipment. This assessment canbe part of any long-term renovation plans you mayhave for the building.The assessment focuses on the requirements of yourbuilding and the people who use it. Our techniciansclosely examine your elevator’s performance,accessibility, safety, eco-efficiency, and aesthetics.We’ll advise you on the options open to you –ranging from minor repairs to full replacement –and the costs.HOW CAN WE HELP?¡¡Our technicians perform a thoroughinspection, free of charge, with noobligation to you.¡¡We make a recommendation forimprovement. This can range from minorrepairs to full replacement.¡¡The recommendation also includes a costestimate.¡¡We provide information about EUregulations, subsidies, and permits.5

A RANGE OF SOLUTIONSBased on a KONE Care for Life assessment, we make arecommendation for improving your elevator. This can range fromreplacing individual components to full replacement.COMPONENT UPGRADESMODULAR MODERNIZATIONFULL REPLACEMENTComponent upgrades are aquick and cost-effective way tomake small improvements toyour elevator. Upgrades cancover things like the door operator,signalization, or lighting system.Modular modernizationsignificantly improves theperformance of your elevator byupdating entire systems. Thistype of modernization appliesto things like the hoistingmachinery, electrificationsystem, or doors.With full replacement wecompletely remove your oldelevator and install a brand newone in your building’s existingshaft.We recommend componentupgrades if your elevator:¡¡Has noisy doors¡¡Is fitted with outdated andimpractical signalization¡¡Is more than 10 years oldWe recommend modularmodernization if your elevator:¡¡Consumes a lot of electricity¡¡Does not level properly onlanding floorsWe recommend full replacementif your elevator:¡¡Has a small, cramped car¡¡Takes a long time to travelbetween floors¡¡Is often out of order¡¡Is 25 years old or more¡¡Has an impractical or outdatedinterior¡¡Is 15 to 20 years oldHOW MODERNIZATION IMPROVES ECO-EFFICIENCY¡¡Modern signalization can be dimmed to save electricity.¡¡Standby lighting and ventilation cuts energy consumption.¡¡LED lights use less energy and last much longer than halogen lights.¡¡Energy regeneration systems recover energy and produce electricity.¡¡A modern hoisting system can significantly reduce energy consumption.6

ELEVATOR MODERNIZATION HANDBOOK SOLUTIONSA FRESH START FOR YOUR ELEVATORFull replacement brings a huge range of benefits, particularly if your elevator is 25years old or more. As well as having a lot more space, your elevator will be morereliable and energy efficient, meaning lower maintenance and energy costs. No moreslow journeys in an untidy, cramped car or frustrations due to frequent breakdowns.MORE SPACEINSIDECODE COMPLIANTFROM DAY ONEENERGY EFFICIENTBY DESIGNWith full replacement, you benefit frommore space because we can fit a biggercar inside your building’s existingelevator shaft. Imagine the difference ifyour elevator could carry six passengersinstead of four and had modern, wideopening doors that allow plenty ofspace for everyone to enter and exit.Elevator standards exist to protectthe safety of both passengers andmaintenance personnel, and theyare getting stricter all the time. FromAugust 2017, all new elevators installedin Europe must comply with the EN 8120 and EN 81-50 standards. When youmodernize with KONE, you can relaxin the knowledge that our solutions arecode compliant from day one.Full replacement can cut elevatorenergy consumption by as much as60–70% (depending on the energyefficiency of your old elevator),primarily thanks to advances in hoistingtechnology. A modern elevator canalso include LED lights, which use 80%less electricity than halogen lights andlast 10 times longer. You can also adda regenerative solution that recoversenergy for use elsewhere in yourbuilding.YOUR BUILDING, YOUR CHOICEWe offer three solutions for full elevatorreplacement in residential buildings.KONE NANOSPACE Space-efficient comfort from a compact, machine room-less solution with astreamlined installation process. With KONE NanoSpace, installation takes a matterof weeks and your new elevator car can be up to 50% bigger without any timeconsuming and expensive changes to the shaft.KONE COMBISPACE Practical by design, the compact KONE CombiSpace is designed for buildings withsmaller shafts and is based on the same proven, state-of-the-art technology used inother KONE elevator solutions. It’s the perfect fit when you’re looking for a solutionthat utilizes your building’s existing machine room.KONE MONOSPACE A proven machine room-less solution that delivers big energy savings compared tohydraulic elevators. The KONE MonoSpace has a successful 20-year track record andis based on our eco-efficient KONE EcoDisc hoisting technology.7

A SAFE, MODERN ELEVATOR ADDSTO THE VALUE OF YOUR BUILDINGModernization makes your elevator safer and moreconvenient for everyone in your building. For example, whencarrying groceries or pushing a stroller, it can be difficult toenter an elevator with heavy manual doors. Another safetyissue is leveling – how accurately the elevator stops comparedwith the landing floor. This is where accidents happen – justa few centimeters can make a big difference if you aren’texpecting it.Another big difference is the overall look and feel. Theelevator is the first thing potential buyers see when they cometo look at your apartment building, so it pays to make a goodfirst impression. A modern, reliable elevator with a pleasantinterior is a definite plus.HOW MODERNIZATION IMPROVESSAFETY¡¡Adequate lighting prevents accidents and makespeople feel safer.¡¡A two-way voice communication system givespassengers peace of mind.¡¡Automatic car and landing doors prevent accidentsand improve accessibility.¡¡A curtain of light improves safety and comfort inelevators with car doors.¡¡Accurate leveling prevents people from tripping onthe door sill.FINANCINGSOLUTIONSLike any home improvement, such as fixing the roof orpainting the walls, elevator modernization is an investmentthat pays off in the long run.It’s also not as expensive as you might think. Costs willvary depending on the individual case, but a typical fullreplacement costs about 50,000 euros. Divided among 20apartments, this amounts to 2,500 euros per household, orabout 40 euros a month over five years. The total cost to youmay be considerably less, since in many countries subsidiesare available to help building owners make elevators safer,more accessible, and more energy efficient.FINANCIAL ISSUES TO CONSIDER¡¡Many European countries provide subsidies formodernization. These can cover up to 70% of thetotal cost.¡¡These may be supplemented by subsidies fromlocal government and the EU.¡¡We offer different levels of modernization toprovide flexibility when it comes to paying for yourproject.¡¡In some European countries, we can providefinancing to spread the cost over several years.¡¡We can provide further information about availablesubsidies in your area.8
