Illinois adopted new code requirements that elevators must comply with the new ASME standards by January 1st, 2015.
There seems to be universal agreement that we need to perform a set up upgrades to comply with this, even though it's a legacy installation.
It's not really a question of what items to buy or who to buy them from.
What I'm trying to understand is whether the code actually requires us to have the alarm button bell on battery backup if we already have a phone which is independent of the power building power.
With regards to overpaying on elevator maintenance/upgrades, i'm afraid we don't have too many good options -- it isn't like there are 10 different companies in our service area.
