Apparently, beyond its usefulness towards home owners, home elevator’s safety is somehow always been the main obstacle of using home elevators. There have been many unwanted accidents during the use of these home elevators, due to its lack performance on some features. This kind of accident has been taken place on a Manhattan restaurant’s dumbwaiters in 1915, where food orders were shouted up and down the shaft. It has been found later that the cause was the great crashed between the engine of the dumb-waiter and the guides on which it runs. The crashed has also resulting the running of the engine to be accompanied by a loud noise. And since the rope operating the dumb-waiter engine runs in a very thin channel wheel; the rope is liable to at times slip off. While safety systems for residential elevators, such as locks on shaft access doors, fall arrestors, and emergency phones are still present of malfunctions. Besides, the possibility of drastically raised cost is somehow the most risky factor to make using this device considered as unsafe. Residential elevator cost is obviously different for houses that are under construction and for which have already been built. When a house is built, it only has to seize the back up of the plan, accordingly to which everything has put into order. In a house which has been already constructed, certain changes have to be made to the plan, and these changes actually determine the cost for the residential elevators. While in a house which is still in the construction process, the plan has to include the cost of the residential elevator. The total expense of the construction should also include this cost. Obviously, if an alternate plan needs to be made, the cost then becomes vaguely higher. And since stairlifts is motored by electronic controls, it is liable to malfunctions. As we have known that radiation from devices such as fluorescent lights can interfere with infrared stairlift controls. Moreover, in some circumstances, heat and luminescent lights can have a bad effect. Thus, home elevator’s safety is still in question.
