The Cube, a square, air-powered home elevator with an aluminum frame and clear polycarbonate panels, shown in a residential setting.
Keep every floor of your Connecticut home within easy reach.
Independence at Every Level. Meet The Cube, the only square powered by air.
You know every corner of your Connecticut home: the bedroom upstairs, the den below, the way the light falls in the hall. When the stairs start to stand between you and those rooms, a home elevator lets you keep all of it. The Cube carries you, and one more person, between floors in a square, air-powered cabin.
Most houses in Connecticut are single-family homes, and many have stood for generations. That is the kind of home The Cube is designed for. It stands on its own frame, so there is no pit to dig under an old foundation and no shaft to build through your walls.
It suits a couple planning to age in place, a family helping a parent home after surgery, or an owner renovating with the years ahead in mind. A PVE-certified dealer looks at your floors and ceilings first and tells you plainly where it can go. Then you decide, with no pressure.
The cleanest home elevator on the market.
Older Connecticut homes rarely have room for a machine room, and The Cube needs none. It runs on the same kind of power as a washer and dryer and uses no harmful oils, gases or lubricants.

One elevator. Made your way.
In a two-story Connecticut house, a 2-stop Cube links the main floor to the bedrooms. If you also use a finished lower level or a third floor, the 3-stop layout reaches all three. The Designer Series and Diamond Package let you match the look to a classic or a modern interior.

Here is what The Cube brings to a home in Connecticut, from older houses to newer builds. Each point comes back to your house, your floors and the way your family lives.
No pit under an old foundation
Many Connecticut homes are older, and digging into their foundations is work you would rather skip. The Cube is self-supporting. In plain words, it stands on its own, so it needs no pit, no traditional shaft and no separate machine room. Your basement and foundation stay the way they are, with less dust, less noise and fewer days of work.
A gentle fit for older houses
Less construction means less disruption in a home with plaster walls and original floors. The Cube goes through the floor or mounts at a balcony, and the dealer reviews your layout first. That keeps the changes to your home small and planned, and your rooms keep their character. If you have a finished lower level, a 3-stop layout can reach it too.
Room for two
The Cube carries up to two passengers. A couple can ride together, or you can ride with a family member who helps you. That makes daily trips to the bedroom, the laundry or the kitchen feel easy again. A folding seat option gives you a place to rest during the ride.
Peace of mind on every ride
Should the power cut out mid-ride, The Cube settles gently down to the lowest landing and its doors unlock. If it is resting at a floor, it waits right there until power comes back. Have a backup generator at home? Your dealer can talk through how it fits your setup.
Open views all around
The aluminum frame and polycarbonate panels give you 360 degree visibility. The cabin feels light and open, not closed in. Its square shape sits neatly in a corner and looks at home in a classic room or a modern one, so it adds to your space rather than hiding in it.
Assembled in the USA
Every Cube is pre-assembled and factory tested in Miami, Florida, and assembled in the USA. PVE brings many years of experience with pneumatic technology. A PVE-certified dealer handles the site review, the install and your service, with minimal maintenance needed.
The Cube at home.
What happens during installation?
Your installation plan should cover the work before the elevator arrives as well as assembly and testing.
- Review the home
Confirm the layout, the people using the elevator and the levels it needs to serve.
- Confirm the model and location
Check dimensions, landing access and the requirements for the selected configuration.
- Prepare the site
Complete the agreed structural and electrical work and arrange the required permits and inspections.
- Install and hand over
Assemble and test the elevator, complete required approvals, and explain operation and ongoing care.
Timing depends on site preparation, the selected model and local requirements.
Schedule your free consultationHome elevator cost in Connecticut.
In Connecticut, the cost moves with your layout: a 2-stop or 3-stop Cube, the options you choose, and the site work an older home may need, such as lead-safe prep or a new electrical circuit. Town and state permits also play a part, and a free quote from your dealer gives you the real price for your home.

Questions Connecticut homeowners ask before they order.
Our house is pretty old. Can it still take an elevator?
Yes, in many cases an older home can take The Cube. It stands on its own frame, so there is no pit to dig under an old foundation and no shaft to build. That suits the many single-family houses across Connecticut. Every home is different, though, so a dealer checks your floors, ceilings and power first. Older plaster walls and original floors are part of that review. Schedule your free consultation and you will know where it can go.
Is it just my town, or does the state get involved too?
Both are involved. Your city or town issues the building permit for the structural work, and you will typically need an electrical permit as well. The state then certifies and inspects private residence elevators before you start riding. Your dealer knows this path well and helps you through each step, so you are not left sorting out the paperwork alone. Ask about it at your free consultation.
Our home was built before 1950. Do we need to worry about the paint?
You should plan for it, but it is manageable. Homes built before 1950 likely contain lead paint, and a through-floor install means opening a floor or ceiling. Testing and safe handling before any cutting keeps your family protected. Your dealer will flag this at the first visit, so it becomes part of the plan from the start rather than a surprise halfway through. If your home is newer, this step simply drops off the list.
We live near the water in a flood area. Is that a problem?
Not usually, though it adds a step. Elevators in flood hazard areas here must meet an extra flood standard. The Cube helps because it needs no pit, so there is no space below your lowest floor for water to gather. Your dealer reviews your lot and checks what your town asks for, then plans the placement with that in mind. Raising it early keeps your plans simple and avoids changes later.
How long will workers be in our house?
The install itself takes 2 to 3 days once site preparation is complete. Before that, your town permits come through and any prep work is done, such as a new electrical circuit or lead-safe work in an older home. After the install, the state inspection comes before your first ride. Most of the waiting is for paperwork, not construction, so the busy part is short. Your dealer gives you a timeline at the first visit.
Can The Cube carry my dad in his wheelchair?
No. The Cube is not wheelchair accessible and is not ADA compliant. It is made for people who can walk in and stand or sit, and an in-cabin folding seat is an option. It fits well if your dad walks with some help and you ride with him. If a wheelchair is part of daily life, ask your dealer about PVE's other residential elevators. They can help you compare what suits your home.
Will we be allowed to have one in our two-family house?
Yes. State law allows lifts and limited-use elevators in homes built for one or two families. That covers the single-family houses that make up most of the state, and two-family homes too. You still need your town permits and a state inspection, as with any home. If you rent out one unit, mention it at the visit so your dealer can plan the spot with both households in mind. Request information to get started.
What do we need to do to keep it running well?
Very little day to day. The Cube needs minimal maintenance compared with many traditional systems, and it uses no harmful oils, gases or lubricants. In Connecticut, a written maintenance record is kept on site with each elevator. Your PVE-certified dealer sets your service schedule and helps keep that record current, so you can simply ride and enjoy your home.

More than half of the homes in Connecticut are single-family detached houses. If you own one, the house is yours to change, and an elevator can be part of a long plan to stay. A self-supporting elevator like The Cube fits that kind of home well, because it stands on its own frame beside a wall or in a corner.
A large share of people in Connecticut are 65 or older, and about a quarter are 60 or over. If you are among them, or you are helping a parent who is, you are not alone in planning ahead. Many families here choose to adapt the home they love rather than move away from it.
Stay in the home you love, on every floor.
If your home was built before 1950, it likely contains lead paint. That matters when a floor or ceiling is opened for a through-floor install. Plan for testing and safe handling before any cutting starts. Your dealer can point this out at the first visit, so it never comes as a surprise.
About half of Connecticut homeowners heat with fuel oil, so many basements here hold an oil tank and a boiler. If you want The Cube to reach your lower level, your dealer plans the spot around that equipment. Because The Cube needs no pit, the floor around your tank and boiler stays as it is.
Permits come from two places here. Your city or town issues the building permit, which covers the structural work, and you will typically also need an electrical permit. On top of that, the Office of the State Building Inspector certifies and inspects private residence elevators. Even a shaftless elevator needs a permit and an inspection before you ride it, so build that step into your timeline.
On inspection day, a state inspector is there in person. In Connecticut, tests done by state-licensed elevator contractors must be witnessed by state inspectors. For you, that means one more appointment on the calendar before your first ride. Your dealer coordinates that date, so you only need to be home and ready.
Your project usually runs in a simple order here. First, a dealer visits and checks your floors, ceilings, power and any older finishes. Next comes the prep, such as a new electrical circuit or lead-safe work, while your town reviews the permits. Then the install takes 2 to 3 days once site preparation is complete, and the state inspection follows before your first ride.
The good news is that state law allows lifts and limited-use elevators in homes built for one or two families. So if you live in a single-family house or a two-family home, an elevator is a normal project, not a special case. Once the state has signed off, a written maintenance record is kept on site with the elevator, and your dealer helps you keep it up to date.
If your house sits in a flood hazard area, elevators there must meet an extra flood standard. A design with no pit helps, because there is no hole below your lowest floor to collect water. Some Connecticut homes also sit in historic districts, which can face extra review, mostly for outside work. An elevator placed inside is often less of a concern, so your dealer can plan the spot with your lot and any review in mind.
