How to Choose the Right Home Elevator Company for Seniors
Not all home lift providers are created equal. Here’s what sets a trusted residential elevator company apart, especially when safety and support matter most.
- 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.

Stair Lift vs. Homelift Elevator:
Which is Right for Your Home?
Choosing between a stair lift and a shaftless home elevator depends on your long-term needs and preferences. While stair lifts are often more affordable upfront, they lack the comfort, safety, and accessibility many seniors need as they age.
Cambridge Elevating’s compact residential elevators for seniors offer a seamless ride, quieter operation, and better integration into your home’s design, all without the need for bulky shafts or major renovations.

Home Lift/Shaftless Elevator
Stair Lift
What’s the Most Affordable Home Elevator Option in Canada?
If you’re upgrading an existing home, especially for aging in place, shaftless homelifts are typically the most affordable and space-efficient solution.
Homelifts/Shaftless Elevators
Unlike traditional elevators that require a full hoistway, homelifts move vertically through a compact aperture between floors. This reduces renovation costs and speeds up installation, making them ideal for retrofits and multi-level homes owned by seniors or mobility-conscious families.
Which Home Elevator Brand is Best for Seniors in Canada?
When choosing a residential elevator company, it’s not just about the equipment, it’s about long-term safety, service, and support. Here’s how the top brands compare:
Cambridge Elevating: Best Overall for Seniors & Families
With over 35 years of experience, Cambridge Elevating is a Canadian-based company that designs and installs CSA-certified shaftless home elevators built specifically for the needs of aging homeowners. Our lifts are:
- Quiet, compact, and beautifully customizable
- Installed by dedicated elevator professionals (no contractors)
- Designed for long-term accessibility and safety
- Backed by local support and fast parts availability across Ontario
Starting at $32,500, Cambridge Elevating offers the best combination of comfort, customization, and safety in the Canadian market.
Savaria Home Lifts
An alternative to Cambridge Elevating, Savaria manufactures in China and Europe, with headquarters in Quebec. Their Telecab is a hydraulic shaftless model, but often requires structural reinforcement (packed wall), which increases total project cost. Their Vuelift is visually striking but priced in the luxury range.
- Requires more complex construction
- Less flexibility for small homes or retrofits
- CSA certified, but limited customization
Stiltz Home Lifts
Stiltz lifts use rail-mounted systems that cut through the floor. While compact and easy to install, they’re manufactured in China and distributed via third-party dealers. Styling options are limited, and ride quality may vary.
- May feel industrial or exposed in home settings
-Not always compliant with local building codes
- Good for small-space installs, but not a long-term solution
Are Shaftless Home Elevators Worth It?
Yes! Shaftless home elevators are ideal for existing homes and aging in place. They’re more space-efficient, easier to install, and often more affordable than full hoistway models. With fewer structural requirements, they offer excellent value, especially for multi-level homes or mobility support.
