A lift AMC (annual maintenance contract) is a yearly agreement under which a lift company services your lift on a fixed schedule and responds to breakdowns. It turns lift upkeep from a string of surprise bills into one planned cost. Eldeal Engineers offers comprehensive and non-comprehensive AMC plans for passenger lifts, home lifts, hospital lifts, goods lifts and escalators across Bihar, Eastern Uttar Pradesh and Delhi NCR.
Whether your lift was installed by us or by another company, we start with a full inspection so you know exactly what condition it is in before you sign.
Why buildings choose a lift AMC
- Predictable budget: a known yearly cost instead of unplanned repair spending.
- Planned servicing: visits happen on schedule, not only when something breaks.
- Priority support: AMC customers get priority on our 24/7 breakdown line.
- Longer lift life: regular care slows wear on the machine, doors and ropes.
- Easier compliance: the Uttar Pradesh Lifts and Escalators Act, 2024 and the Bihar Lift and Escalator Bill, 2024 both include regular maintenance requirements. A documented AMC helps you show that maintenance is being done. Please confirm current rules with your local authority.
Comprehensive vs non-comprehensive AMC
This is the most important choice. The difference is whether spare parts are included in the yearly price.
| Feature | Non-comprehensive AMC | Comprehensive AMC |
|---|---|---|
| Scheduled preventive visits | Included | Included |
| Lubrication, cleaning and adjustments | Included | Included |
| Safety device checks (ARD, alarm, door lock, overload) | Included | Included |
| 24/7 breakdown support | Included | Included, with priority |
| Labour for repairs | Usually included | Included |
| Spare parts | Charged separately, after your approval | Most parts included (major items as per contract) |
| Yearly cost | Lower | Higher |
| Risk of surprise bills | Higher | Low |
| Best suited to | Newer lifts, light use, tight budgets | Hospitals, hotels, busy apartments, older lifts |
Every contract lists exactly which parts are covered and which are excluded. Items such as damage from misuse, flooding or voltage surges, and major components, are usually treated separately. We explain these clearly before you sign. For a deeper comparison, read our guide on comprehensive vs non-comprehensive lift AMC.
Which lift AMC is right for you?
Choose non-comprehensive if
Your lift is fairly new, used lightly (for example a home lift), and you are comfortable paying for parts when needed.
Choose comprehensive if
Downtime is not acceptable, the lift works hard, or it is several years old. Hospitals, hotels and large housing societies almost always benefit. You pay more per year but avoid large one-time costs for parts such as door operators or controller boards.
What happens during an AMC visit
On each scheduled visit, our technician inspects and services the machine and brakes, ropes and rails, doors and locks, controller and wiring, and the pit. Safety devices such as the Automatic Rescue Device, light curtain, overload sensor with voice prompt, intercom, alarm and emergency light are tested. You receive a service record of what was checked and any issues found. See our lift maintenance page for the full checklist.
How AMC pricing is worked out
AMC price depends on the lift type, number of floors, capacity, age and condition, usage, location and whether you choose comprehensive or non-comprehensive cover. We do not publish one flat rate because two lifts that look alike can need very different care. After a free inspection, you get a clear written quote with the scope, visit frequency, inclusions and exclusions.
Getting full value from your AMC
- Read the inclusions list before signing, and ask about anything that is unclear.
- Keep the service records in one file. They are useful for audits, registration and insurance.
- Report faults early instead of waiting for the next scheduled visit.
- Name one contact person in the building, so our team always knows whom to call.
- Renew on time to avoid gaps in cover and priority support.
Taking over an existing AMC
Unhappy with your current service provider? Switching is simple. We inspect the lift, report its condition honestly, fix any urgent safety issues, and start the new contract from a date that suits you. If the inspection shows the lift is near the end of its useful life, we will tell you, and explain whether modernisation makes more sense.
