A Comprehensive Guide to Buying Stairlifts
Overview
Explore the essentials of purchasing a stairlift to increase mobility and independence in your home.
Types of Stairlifts
Stairlifts mainly come in two designs: straight and curved. For staircases with turns or spirals, a curved stairlift is often necessary. However, in some cases, installing two straight stairlifts can be a more cost-effective solution. If your staircase is straight, a simple straight stairlift will suffice. Both options significantly enhance your independence by eliminating concerns associated with climbing stairs.
New vs. Reconditioned Stairlifts
After determining the type of stairlift you need, you can choose between purchasing a new or reconditioned model. Reconditioned straight lifts are commonly available as they often fit standard requirements, making them an economical choice. However, finding a reconditioned curved stairlift that fits perfectly can be challenging. Opting for a new stairlift, though usually more expensive, ensures a perfect fit and modern features.
Purchasing a New Stairlift
When buying a new stairlift, gather at least three quotes to ensure competitive pricing and evaluate factors such as warranty coverage, customer service, and installation timelines. Assess the company's credentials, including their experience, customer testimonials, and expertise. Avoid making on-the-spot decisions; take time to consider the details and make an informed choice.
If possible, visit the retailer's showroom to test the stairlift model you’re interested in, ensuring it’s comfortable and user-friendly.
Ownership and Maintenance
Once installed, regular servicing and maintenance of your stairlift are crucial. Mechanical components are subject to wear and tear, so routine checks ensure safety and functionality. The supplier may offer maintenance packages that complement the warranty. Sometimes, servicing is necessary to keep the warranty valid, which typically lasts for one year. Extended warranties are available, but you don't have to buy them from the original supplier; shopping around may yield better deals.
By considering these aspects, you’ll find the right stairlift to suit your needs, providing peace of mind and ease of mobility in your home.
