Canada plunging toward an elevator crisis? ‘We’re already there,’ expert says
Canada plunging toward an elevator crisis? ‘We’re already there,’ expert says
Submitted By: admin on Jul 22, 2016
All of us associated with condominiums have been incredibly frustrated with the poor quality of elevator maintenance in recent years.
Elevator reliability is the worst it’s been in many years. In 2000, there were 1,382 calls to 911 for elevator rescues in Toronto. In 2015, there were 2,862. Many more have been freed without 911 involvement.
According to the article, over the last 30 years the number of elevators assigned to a single technician has grown from 45 to 100.
The problem is not confined to the GTA or to Ontario.

Since mid-2010 we have facilitated annual utility savings to our clients totaling nearly $8.0 million
We have also urged government departments and agencies to address inequities in utility billing, evaluated new products and services, developed new municipal codes and established industry best protocols for our clients (e.g. Electrical vehicle charging in condominiums)
