Think Moving Is Your Only Option?
For many homeowners, stairs can start to change how home feels. But moving is not the only answer.
This comparison walks through the real cost of downsizing versus investing in a Homelift by Cambridge Elevating. From real estate fees and land transfer tax to moving expenses and first-year condo fees, the difference may be smaller than you think and staying may save you more than money.
A Homelift can help you stay in the home you love with greater comfort, independence, and peace of mind.

How To Pick A Home Lift Company
Some of our competitors might be cutting corners. Here’s what to look for:
- What to Avoid
No CSA Safety Certification
Ask them if their homelift elevator is CSA certified, if they are not then you might be dealing with a cheap ‘Made in China’ product that might not qualify for a Building Permit and will negatively impact your home value.
- What we Offer
The Safest Homelift
Our residential elevators are CSA certified. We offer models sourced and manufactured right here in Canada as well as the UK in contrast to some counterparts which import low-quality home lifts from China, which may not meet CSA certification.
- What to Avoid
Won’t Qualify For Building Permit
Many of our competitors will claim you don’t require a building permit to install a residential home elevator. You will save a little money up front but may run into issues with insurance, sale of your house and bylaw infringements.
- What we Offer
Contractor Ready
We provide all necessary documents for your contractor to apply for a building permit - at no extra cost. Please note: engineered drawings are not included. If structural engineered drawings are required due to the configuration of your home, they will need to be obtained separatly at the homeowner's expense.
- What to Avoid
Not Covered By Insurance
Will your insurance cover a claim when it comes to a homelift or residential elevator? It’s imperative that you do your homework while researching to not only protect your loved ones and home, but your investment as well.
- What we Offer
Covered By Insurance
We ensure our elevators and homelifts meet and exceed safety standards, offering peace of mind. Compliance with homeowner insurance policy terms, CSA certification, engineering drawings, and proper building permits safeguards your home.
- What to Avoid
Selling Your Home Will Be An Issue
At first, some homelift elevator companies in Ontario will tell you that you don’t need a building permit, they use generic engineering drawings. This can be perceived as a clear liability instead of an asset when it comes time to sell your home.
If the home elevator is needed immediately, it’s still important to take the time and plan out the future as well. Cutting corners in the installation process can actually decrease the value of a home, turning a potentially valuable asset into a liability.
- What we Offer
Add Value To Your Home
Our shaftless home elevators are designed to help our aging population age-in-place, adding potential value and demand to your home when it comes time to sell. The sleek design offers convenience and mobility support for those who want to age in home.
CSA certification, building permits and engineering drawings are all standard with our models giving you peace of mind that your loved ones are protected along with the value of your home.
- What to Avoid
Warranty Claims Won’t Be Serviced
Buying a home elevator is an investment, and it’s essential to feel protected when unexpected issues arise. In many instances, warranties can encompass labor, parts, or both. It’s crucial to carefully review the warranty’s fine print before making your purchase to ensure comprehensive coverage.
- What we Offer
Canada's Most Trusted Brand
As a manufacturer-first company, we understand the importance of ensuring the validity of warranties. Cambridge Elevating offers a 24-month Manufacturer’s Limited Product Warranty covering all elevator system components, along with a 90-day Installation Warranty starting from the turnover date or builder sign-off date.
- What to Avoid
Price Changes Just To Sell You
A ‘Made in China’ product that is not safety certified will have better margins than we do. They cut corners wherever they can and outsource work to lowest bidder contractors. Their mandate is simply to make a sale and take your money. Some competitors focus solely on profit margins, cutting corners and outsourcing to the lowest bidder.
- What we Offer
The Highest Value
While we all appreciate the benefits of saving money, there are certain aspects where prioritizing safety is paramount—such as safeguarding your loved ones and your home. This is why we take a firm stance on our prices and the quality of our products, which restricts us from offering substantial price reductions.
- What to Avoid
Project Timelines Not Guaranteed
When you’re given a project timeline, you rightfully expect it to be adhered to. However, it’s important to exercise caution with certain competitors, as they may face challenges such as product unavailability, requiring overseas shipping, or contractors making overly optimistic promises about preparation and construction dates
- What we Offer
5 Weeks Faster On Average
We prioritize establishing full project partnerships as the cornerstone of our operations. Our comprehensive services include access to a renovation contractor and engineer for architectural drawings, as well as a highly skilled installation team. Additionally, we maintain readily available product inventory for prompt delivery and installation
- What to Avoid
Random Contract Workers
Did you know some of our competitors don’t have any actual presence in Canada? They just send the project to lowest bidder general contractors. Ask them who will work on your homelift installation, they won’t be able to answer.
- What we Offer
Dedicated Mobility Experts
Our elevator technicians display their talents with every homelift installation, fully respect the process and importance of training and testing as part of regular, everyday tasks. They’re ready to ensure maximum safety and functionality.

Not sure which home elevator is right for you?
Frequently Asked Questions
A personal home elevator is a great feature for any new custom home build. Think of a home elevator more as a vertical hallway than a device that assists those who struggle with stairs. Designing a custom home allows one to position the elevator where it can be best used to connect all levels of the home to move both people and goods. A traditional hoistway elevator may afford a larger footprint than a shaftless, 2-storey compact elevator but the homeowner will benefit from greater performance and control for the elevator to be hidden from view. When comparing costs, a hoistway elevator is more affordable than a shaftless device when building new.

What are low-cost home elevator options?
When considering a home elevator for a new home, some hoistway elevator types cost less than others.
Homelifts / Shaftless Elevators
When considering the total project cost for existing homes, the best low-cost elevator solution is the Homelift. Homelifts move through a reinforced aperture between the two floors being served without the need for a hoistway. The renovation work to accept the device compared with a traditional hoistway elevator is minimal.
Which residential elevator company should you choose?
Here’s a look at various elevator manufacturers and what they offer:
Savaria Home Lifts Elevators
Headquartered in Laval, Quebec with manufacturing facilities in Europe and China, Savaria has been offering accessibility solutions since 1989. Their products include various wheelchair lifts and low-rise elevators for residential and commercial use and accessible van conversions. Savaria’s Telecab is a hydraulic-driven shaftless elevator, suitable for existing homes. The Telecab cost is low but requires a packed support wall which increases the total project cost. Savaria also offers a luxury glass cab & hoistway elevator option for new and existing homes called the Vuelift. The Vuelift cost will be more than all other traditional home elevators because it includes a glass enclosure within the price.
Stiltz Home Lift Elevators
An alternative to Cambridge Elevating, Stiltz units travel ‘through the floor’ on self-supporting dual guide rails. A Stiltz home elevator cost will be more compared directly to the price of a traditional home elevator but keep in mind it does not require the construction of an enclosed hoistway. The cost of Stiltz home lifts depends on the model. The price of the Trio Alta Lift home lift by Stiltz is greater than the cost of the Duo Alta shaftless elevator by Stiltz. Stiltz Homelifts come in 2 sizes of shaftless elevators. Stiltz shaftless home elevators are manufactured in China and distributes them from two primary locations, Pennsylvania, USA and their head office in the UK. The Duo Alta Home Lift was introduced in 2016 to please homeowners who wanted to add a lift to their home without sacrificing space or aesthetics. It boasts a curved glass cab that lets riders easily see their surroundings as they travel within their home. In 2019, the company announced a new option for their Trio Alta Lift model. It’s a six-meter travel option for homeowners with exceptionally high ceilings or homes with three levels allowing for flexibility. Stiltz home lifts continue to expand its network of global dealers to serve the needs of all individuals who wish to gracefully age within their home.
RAM Elevators & Lifts
Founded in 1987 and located in Edmonton, Alberta, RAM is a North American manufacturer of elevating devices for both residential and low-rise commercial use across Canada and the United States. RAM supplies the industry’s only screw-drive full residential elevator.
Garaventa Lift
Garaventa dates back to 1928 when they built their first cable car in the Swiss Alps. In North America, they were known for their public Inclined Platform Lift (IPL) and Vertical Platform Lift (VPL) products before venturing into low-rise elevators for home and commercial buildings. Garaventa’s head office is in Surrey, BC and was wholly purchased by Savaria in 2018.
Symmetry Elevators
With over 80 offices across the U.S., Symmetry Elevators offers an expansive product list, including residential elevators, wheelchair lifts and vertical lifts. Recently Symmetry has partnered with Staying Home Corp to distribute their shaftless residential elevator. This unit uses battery operation technology borrowed from stair lifts and requires a support wall. Symmetry does not have a strong presence in Canada.
Home elevators for custom home builds
A personal home elevator is a great feature for any new custom home build. Think of a home elevator more as a vertical hallway than a device that assists those who struggle with stairs. Designing a custom home allows one to position the elevator where it can be best used to connect all levels of the home to move both people and goods. A traditional hoistway elevator may afford a larger footprint than a shaftless, 2-storey compact elevator but the homeowner will benefit from greater performance and control for the elevator to be hidden from view. When comparing costs, a hoistway elevator is more affordable than a shaftless device when building new.
