Our Services

TEI has continued to design and install new vertical transportation systems for over three decades and is widely recognized as a leading supplier of cutting-edge elevator and escalator technologies. Our comprehensive in-house design and installation services ensure that you receive the best possible solution for your application. From hydraulic, MRL, or conventional gearless high-speed traction elevators, to spiral or straight escalators for indoor or outdoor use, TEI will deliver what you need when you need it. It's a reputation our business continues to build on, and why astute developers frequently consult our team of professionals to select the best vertical transportation solutions for their buildings - whether it's a single shaft three-stop hydraulic elevator or a 60+ story skyscraper with destination dispatch capabilities. And TEI Group is one of the few independents with the experience and technical capabilities to construct "green" technology solutions, including MRL systems and the latest PMAC technology.

TEI can modernize your legacy vertical transportation system with one that meets today's rigid safety standards, dramatically reduces your building's carbon footprint with green technologies, increases up-time performance, makes scheduled maintenance more economical, and improves occupants' overall experience. In fact, modernizing elevator systems is often a highly economical option when considering large-scale repairs late in the elevator life cycle. And because no two buildings are alike, every elevator modernization project is rather unique, which makes selecting a company with the best combination of talent, experience, and patience critical. TEI is that company.

All TEI Group maintenance mechanics hold New York City Department of Buildings Elevator Inspector licenses, a testimony to the dedication and commitment of TEI's workforce. No other elevator company in New York City has made DOB licensure a fixed requirement for their field service mechanics. When problems arise with an elevator's heavy equipment - machines, motors, wire rope, sheaves, counterweights - you can rest assured that the necessary repairs are being made to the highest standards by qualified personnel and in the safest means possible.

Mandatory building codes require elevators and escalators to be inspected by licensed elevator inspectors on a regular basis. In New York City, the DOB mandates Category 1 and Category 5 testing of all automated conveyance systems twice a year. Failing to meet compliance can result in hefty fines, shut down your systems, and more important, reveal potentially dangerous operating conditions. With over 90% of TEI service technicians already holding inspector licenses or in queue to have their license issued, no other elevator company in NYC is in such a unique position to track and coordinate scheduled testing, and manage any remedial service issues that may be required to satisfy DOB compliance requirements.

If you are cited for a compliance issue by the DOB, TEI will work to resolve any Category 1 deficiencies cited and file the requisite Affirmation of Corrections with the DOB. Our violations team has the knowledge and expertise to remedy all types of New York City-issued elevator violations while keeping our clients up to date throughout the entire process. And once all work is completed, inspected and approved by the DOB, TEI will confirm that the violation has been permanently resolved and removed from the city's public records. When possible, TEI Group will even negotiate to help reduce or eliminate customer fines and/or penalties.
