commercial Elevator Service in Southern California

Reliable, Code-Compliant Service by Dwan Elevator Company

Commercial elevators are critical to the safety, efficiency, and value of your building. Whether you manage offices, multi-family housing, hotels, hospitals, retail spaces, or mixed-use developments, Dwan Elevator Company delivers professional commercial elevator maintenance services that keep your systems operating smoothly, safely, and in full compliance with regulatory standards.

From scheduled preventive care to emergency response support, our maintenance plans are tailored to the unique demands of commercial buildings — high traffic, heavy use, and stringent safety requirements.

Why Commercial Elevator Maintenance Matters

Commercial elevator systems are engineered for heavy daily use, often transporting dozens or hundreds of passengers each day. Without regular professional maintenance, even the best-built system can experience:

  • Unexpected breakdowns

  • Safety system degradation

  • Premature component wear

  • Increased repair costs

  • Service interruptions for tenants and guests

Proper commercial elevator maintenance prevents these issues, extends equipment life, ensures compliance with codes and standards, and improves the overall experience for building occupants.

A Legacy of Elevator Expertise in California

Dwan Elevator Company’s foundation in vertical transportation dates back to 1931, when J.E. Dwan founded one of California’s first elevator and stair lift companies. Over time, that organization evolved into The Inclinator Company of California (ICOC) — a trusted provider of elevators and accessibility systems throughout Southern California.

ICOC completed thousands of installations and built a reputation for craftsmanship and reliability. Today, that legacy continues with Dwan Elevator Company — applying historic technical skill to modern commercial elevator systems and maintenance practices across the region.

Commercial Elevator Maintenance Services

Commercial elevator maintenance is more than periodic inspections — it’s a safety-critical practice that protects passengers, prolongs equipment life, and minimizes downtime.

  • Visual and mechanical assessments

  • Adjustment of moving components

  • Structural and alignment checks

  • Lubrication of key parts

Control system diagnostics

Safety System Testing

Performance Optimization

We test and tune your elevator’s performance characteristics — from leveling precision to ride quality and control responsiveness — to ensure efficiency and comfort.
