I have a contract with one of the big companies that states "periodic" maintenance. It was my mistake to not get that specified. The salesperson told me 3 PM calls per year ( I have that in writing.) However, surprise, surprise, they NEVER provide PM. I see them once a year for 30 min for the inspection. Requests for PM fall on deaf ears. Any advice on how to approach cancelling the contract? From my perspective, they are not providing the paid for service, though the contract wording is vague (on purpose I imagine). It runs through 2028. They want me to buy it out which seems crazy to me as they don't do anything. Should have gone with a local company...

I'm a writer trying to find some information that google is failing me. Google just keeps telling me it'd cause damage and that there this key thing, but it's not really answering my question. I just need to know if it possible or not. It's fine if it would cause damage the character is rich and can pay for it.

If this kind of post isn't allowed here I'll understand. Thanks in advance!

Was anybody working in fire alarm before getting into the elevator union?

Been trying to get into a trade for a long time. Getting an electrician apprenticeship in SOCAL is tough. Took the aptitude test at local 11 with no luck, WECA will not get me in even 1+ year waiting. Finally someone taking the chance on me with no experience in the trades, but they have really bad reviews on indeed and I’m just worried about them not training properly and I’ll be a helper forever. Helper at $19-24 per hour which I know is horrible but it’ll get my foot in the door. I really like the idea of this trade because I can learn a bunch of trades and be well equipped. Anyone have any advice or another route to go?

I(19F 20 in 4 months) am trying to get into the elevator industry. My goal is to eventually become an elevator mechanic.

I’m currently considering signing up for Job Corps, probably for electrical or another construction-related program. But I’m wondering if that’s actually the best use of my time.

My goal is to start applying/getting into the apprenticeship somewhere within the next 1-8 months(Hopefully sooner then later)

I know I can’t just self-teach myself into becoming an elevator mechanic, and that the actual trade training comes through the apprenticeship. I’m more so wondering what would make me a stronger applicant while I’m waiting for a recruitment to open.

Would Job Corps actually help my chances, or would I be better off getting some hands-on work experience and studying mechanical/electrical fundamentals on my own?

For anyone currently in the IUEC or who has gone through the apprenticeship process, what would you recommend?

Also, if you were starting over at 20, what would you spend those 1–8 months learning or doing?

The pit goblin is notorious for always taking and never giving. What's the worst thing they've taken from you?

They've taken wrenches, sockets and a hammer from me

Does anyone have any photos of the hoist way and or machine room of the Luxor elevators in Las Vegas? Always wanted to see how they were set up.

Need some advice regarding lift replacement for our apartment.

Our existing lift is around 20 years old and has recurring issues. The association has decided not to go with MNCs like OTIS/KONE due to higher AMC costs.

We currently have quotes from Johnson Elevators, Infra Elevators and Aaron Elevators.

Anyone with experience with these companies? How are their service, breakdown response and AMC costs? Also, what should we consider before finalising?

Looking for genuine feedback. Thanks!
