Stairlifts can be a cost-effective and convenient way to help individuals with mobility issues navigate their homes. It is important to consider cost, warranty, and type of maintenance when selecting a stairlift.

Cost

The cost of stairlifts can vary greatly depending on the type of stairlift and the features it offers. Stairlift price ranges can be all over the board based on the home, whether it is a straight or curved staircase, and many other factors. Straight stairlifts tend to be less expensive than curved stairlifts, and straight stairlifts with basic features can be found to be much less expensive. When selecting a stairlift, make sure to consider the cost of installation, which can range from $500 to $1,000 or more.

Warranty

When looking at the cost of a stairlift, it is important to also consider the warranty. Many stairlifts come with a one- or two-year warranty on parts and labor. Some stairlifts may also come with a lifetime warranty on certain components. Make sure to ask your supplier about the warranty before making a purchase.

Maintenance

It is important to consider the type of maintenance that is required for a stairlift. Most stairlifts require regular maintenance, such as lubrication and cleaning of the rails and drive mechanism. Some stairlifts are designed to be low-maintenance and require little or no maintenance. Make sure to ask your supplier about the type of maintenance that is required for the stairlift you are considering.

When selecting a stairlift, it is important to consider the cost, warranty, and type of maintenance that is required. Make sure to research the various stairlifts available and ask your supplier about the warranty and maintenance requirements. This will help you find the stairlift that is best suited to your needs. Up-front costs of the initial stairlift might be less expensive, but longer-term costs can be much more expensive if you purchase a less expensive chair that needs more maintenance or needs to have parts replaced more often, such as battery wear and tear or other parts only covered under a 24-month warranty. Sometimes it’s better to pay more for a quality chair with a better warranty that requires less maintenance and not have to deal with the rising costs of upkeep in the long run.
