Service We Offer

There comes a time in the life of your elevator equipment when it has fulfilled its expectations and legitimately needs to be modernized.  While certain major components will be replaced, there are others that can be reused and restored back to their original quality.  This is where our expertise can guide you towards additional cost savings.  Our past experience includes the modernization of over 5,000 elevator systems utilizing state of the art control systems.  We understand what needs to be done, and can provide you with excellent modernization specifications, customized for your equipment, building needs and budget requirements.

EAI also makes certain that you buy only what you actually need for your building and not expensive extras.  We also follow the project from start to finish making certain the installation is done in a timely manner and parts are installed correctly.  Finally, we inspect the finished job to make certain you get everything you paid for.  Typically the savings we generate for the overall project far exceeds the fees we charge for our services.
