The question "Do larger devices consume more electricity?" is a concern for many customers when they need to install a homelift for their home.
Therefore, saving electricity becomes one of the top priorities for households. In this article, Benelifts will provide detailed information on the issue that many customers are concerned about: "Do homelifts consume a lot of electricity?"
1. What power source do homelifts use?
Depending on the type of motor and homelift model chosen, the power source used will vary. Currently, compact homelift models typically use motors with a 220V power source.
For homelift models with a larger load, they usually use motors with a 3-phase 380V power source. This 3-phase current helps the homelift operate more efficiently, ensuring stable power quality suitable for devices requiring high power such as homelifts.
2. Factors influencing the electricity consumption of homelifts
2.1 Load capacity of homelifts
Homelifts with a larger load will require the motor to operate with higher power. Similar to humans, when transporting heavy loads, the necessary force also increases, leading to higher electricity consumption.
2.2 Type of homelift motor
The motor is one of the essential components for the homelift to operate.
The Elux Tubo homelift uses a winding drum machine.
Each type of motor will have different power consumption levels, depending on the manufacturer and design of the motor. Typically, modern motors used by Benelifts homelifts have power ratings ranging from 3.7 kW to 11 kW.
Additionally, there is a difference between two types of motors: gearless motors and geared motors. Gearless motors provide many superior benefits such as energy efficiency, ease of maintenance, stable operating power, and longer lifespan.
2.3 Homelift lighting system
When the homelift is operating, the lights in the cabin are always on, leading to a certain amount of electricity consumption. Especially if customers use non-energy-saving lights such as fluorescent or halogen lights, electricity consumption will increase.
2.4 Maintenance and servicing of homelifts
Why does maintaining a homelift affect electricity consumption?
Homelift maintenance plays a crucial role in maintaining the operational efficiency of the equipment, ensuring they operate reliably. Simultaneously, it helps monitor and control risks from the early stages. If maintenance is not carried out correctly, components may fail, leading to much higher replacement costs. When components operate unstably, they will consume more electricity. A clear example is that older electronic devices often lose their energy-saving capabilities due to their long lifespan or reduced operational efficiency.
3. Ways to Save Electricity When Using Homelifts
After identifying the factors that influence the electricity consumption of elevators, Benelifts proposes some solutions to help you save electricity when using a homelift.
3.1 Regular Elevator Maintenance
As analyzed, maintaining the elevator helps improve the stability and efficiency of the equipment while ensuring the safety of your family. To save electricity for the homelift, customers should perform maintenance at least twice a month.
3.2 Use Energy-Saving Devices
Customers should prioritize using gearless motors and LED lights, while choosing genuine products to ensure energy efficiency in compliance with regulations on all devices.

3.3 Choose the Right Load Capacity for the Homelift
Choosing a load capacity lower than actual needs will result in the homelift having to operate more frequently, thereby increasing electricity consumption costs.
The Elux Tubo homelifts provide various load capacity options suitable for family needs.
Furthermore, using the homelift excessively without a regular maintenance plan can lead to cable overlapping issues, reducing the lifespan of the traction cable and increasing costs for the owner.
Therefore, installing a homelift unavoidably consumes electricity. However, the level of consumption depends on the user's choices and usage habits. Besides choosing the right product, users should also pay attention to their usage habits. For example, it's unnecessary to use the homelift for short trips or when carrying only a few light objects. Small changes in daily habits can significantly reduce electricity consumption.
From the above analysis, it can be seen that the electricity consumption of homelifts depends on various factors, from load capacity, motor type, lighting system to maintenance procedures. Implementing energy-saving measures and using the homelift in a reasonable manner will not only help reduce living costs but also increase the lifespan of the equipment. For detailed advice, please contact Benelifts. Benelifts will assist you in finding the optimal solution to save electricity and ensure the operational efficiency of the homelift.
