When it comes to choosing an elevator system for your building, the decision isn't always straightforward. One of the critical choices you'll face is whether to go with a proprietary or non-proprietary system. Each option has unique advantages and potential drawbacks, and making an informed decision can significantly impact your building's operations, maintenance, and overall budget.
Understanding Your Options: Proprietary and Non-Proprietary Elevator Systems
At Metro Elevator, we want to help you understand all your options so you can choose what’s best for your business in the long run. The good news is that no matter what kind of system or elevator you have, Metro Elevator has the resources and capabilities to service them. Let’s take a look at both proprietary and non-proprietary elevators to help you make an informed decision.
Proprietary Elevator Systems
Proprietary elevator systems are made by the original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). These systems often come with advanced technology, are easy to install, and offer many benefits that appeal to building owners and managers.
One of the biggest advantages of proprietary systems is their advanced technology. These systems usually have the latest features that improve performance, energy efficiency, and user experience.
Proprietary systems typically come with maintenance support from the OEM.
However, a common worry with proprietary systems is the belief that only the OEM or their authorized dealers can service them, which might lead to higher maintenance costs. At Metro Elevator, we want to ease this worry. Our team can service proprietary systems, using our experience and knowledge to provide top-quality maintenance and repairs. This means you can enjoy the benefits of a proprietary system without being stuck with one service provider.
Non-Proprietary Elevator Systems
Non-proprietary elevator systems use parts and software from other manufacturers. This allows the elevator technician to find the best and most cost-effective solution for your elevator system, saving you both time and money. Metro Elevator is fully equipped to repair or modernize these systems, ensuring your building remains operational.
Our technicians are available to schedule maintenance at convenient times, minimizing disruptions. We aim to source replacement parts quickly and affordably, reducing downtime during repairs and keeping your elevator running smoothly with minimal inconvenience to users. This flexibility can be a significant advantage for building owners looking to maintain control over their service options and costs.
