Do you live in an old neighborhood?Do you have an elevator installed in your house?The installation of elevators, some people are really happy and some are worried, although it is a good thing as a whole, but in actual life stillThe following five real-world problems have emerged, some owners saidI regretted that I had agreed to install an elevator at the beginning
1. Why add an elevator?
1. Convenient travel.
Did you know that, according to the National Bureau of Statistics, the elderly population aged 60 and above in China has reached 24.9 billion, or 17 percent of the total population9%。That's a very large number. Think about it, these old people need to climb up and down every day in order to travel, how hard it is. The installation of elevators is really an antidote for themOtherwise, some elderly people have inconvenient legs and feet, and they can't go downstairs several times a month.
In addition to being friendly to the elderly, it is also very friendly to pregnant women, children, and people with leg problems, which greatly facilitates their daily travel and shopping.
2. Enhance the value of the house.
Installing an elevator also has a direct benefit, which is that it can increase the value of the house. According to the data of the China Real Estate Research Institute, after the installation of elevators, the first grade of old buildings can be increased by about 20%, which is also a kind of wealth appreciation for homeowners.
IIWhy would the person who installed the elevator regret it?1. Noise problem.
Caviar: did not take into account this noise problem when installing the elevator, my building is over 6 floors, I live on 3 floors, the installation of the elevator feels that it is convenient to buy food and travel in the future, I did not expect that the noise of the elevator after the installation is really unbearable, the normal elevator is good indoors, the glass elevator in the outdoor is really not soundproof, especially at night, there are people who take the elevator after sleeping and it affects sleep.
@suid：The winch on the top floor will have a lot of noise and vibration. Residents, especially the elderly, will feel very uncomfortable at night, especially those with heart and brain diseases and high blood pressure. Outdoor lift, after a period of wind and rain, there are many problems, I think the elevator company earns more elevator maintenance fees than selling the elevator itself to make money, but also for a long time, leeks cut and cut. Or sell the old house and move the elevator room directly to save worry.
When the elevator is running, there will be noise. If your house happens to be close to an elevator, you may be bothered by this noise.
2. Privacy issues.
Drink tea and go: the elevator is just close to the balcony location, the elevator is made of glass, the view in the elevator can really see the balcony living room of each home, the privacy is very unfriendly, there is no sense of security. Some elevators may even be located directly to the bedroom, so you can't relax at home.
3. The impact on the structure of the house.
@一心打怪:The house is more than 30 years old, and when the house was first built, the elevator was not considered, and the wall cracked 2 years after the elevator was installed, and the residents would feel uneasy. @高桥:After the installation of elevators in our community, there have been many troubles, especially the vertical elevator shafts, which have destroyed the original clean outdoor environment intolerably, because the original house planning and design did not consider the elevator outside the unit door, and now it is impossible to sell it if you want to move away. 
4. The issue of usage fees.
@天涯一走:In 2008, my community began to install elevators, the original cost was also expensive, according to the floor to calculate the cost, at the beginning of my home on the top floor almost a floor to pay 700,000, this cost is also in the early stage, backThe operation and maintenance fees of the elevator come every month like debt collection, and the elevator is not normal.
NowHousing prices have fallen, and I originally thought that adding elevators could appreciate in value, but now it has become a burden
5. Neighborhood conflicts are increasing@爱吃橘子:When the elevator is installed, the low-floor neighbors are actually opposed, not only affecting the lighting, but also a lot of noise, there has been a contradiction when the elevator is installed, and now the use of the elevator life noise, maintenance and other costs make the neighborhood conflict aggravated. What do you think about the installation of elevators, and what kind of living experience do you have?I can share it with you, after all, there are still many communities that have begun to renovate old communitiesFind out in advance, it's also good to avoid pitfalls
