For homeowners\u2019 association managers, it is important to organise the meeting properly and convince residents of the need to install a modern lift. Below, we explain why replacing old equipment is critically important and how to persuade residents to support lift replacement.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Why old lifts should be replaced as soon as possible<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Old lifts installed during the Soviet period often become a source of problems for residents of multi-storey buildings. The key reasons why replacement is urgent include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Lift service life<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">According to regulations, the service life of a lift is 25 years. In many buildings across Ukraine, lifts have already been in operation for 40 years or more, significantly exceeding the permitted period. Worn-out equipment loses reliability and no longer meets modern safety standards.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Passenger safety risks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Old lifts often break down, get stuck between floors or create a risk of serious accidents. This is a threat to residents, especially children, elderly people and people with reduced mobility.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Lack of modern safety systems<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Old lifts are not equipped with modern protection systems such as automatic braking, overload sensors or protection against rope failure. New Ukrainian-made lifts comply with Ukrainian building regulations and European safety standards.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Arguments for a homeowners\u2019 association meeting on lift replacement<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">To convince residents that lift replacement is necessary, the homeowners\u2019 association manager should prepare clear and persuasive arguments. The main ones are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Safety of residents and children<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The key argument is safety. A new lift minimises the risk of accidents and provides peace of mind for all residents, especially families with children.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Increase in apartment value<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Installing a modern lift increases the building\u2019s attractiveness on the real estate market, which may increase the value of apartments.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Lower costs for ongoing repairs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Old lifts require regular repairs, which become increasingly expensive over time. A new lift from a reliable manufacturer such as Euroformat helps reduce maintenance costs.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Co-financing programmes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Many cities in Ukraine, including Kyiv, have co-financing programmes for lift replacement, where local authorities cover a significant share of the costs. This considerably reduces the replacement cost for homeowners\u2019 associations.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Long-term savings<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">New lifts are energy efficient, helping reduce electricity costs. In addition, modern equipment has a longer service life and requires lower maintenance expenses.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"isSelectedEnd\">What the homeowners\u2019 association manager should do<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">What should you do if residents oppose lift replacement? To hold a successful meeting and convince residents, the homeowners\u2019 association manager should take the following steps:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Show documents on the technical condition of the lift<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Order a technical inspection of the lift from a certified organisation. Documents confirming equipment wear and safety risks will become a strong argument for residents.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Collect commercial offers from manufacturers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Contact trusted Ukrainian manufacturers of lifts for multi-storey buildings to receive detailed turnkey lift replacement proposals. This will help demonstrate the real cost and transparency of expenses.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Explain the financial benefits<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Tell residents about the possibility of participating in co-financing programmes, as well as long-term savings on repairs and electricity.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Present examples from other homeowners\u2019 associations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Provide successful cases from other buildings where lift replacement improved comfort and safety. This will make your arguments more convincing.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Buy a new lift from a manufacturer in Ukraine at a favourable price<\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Euroformat offers modern energy-efficient solutions for your building.
