Frequently Asked Questions


1) Can a stair lift go around corners?

Yes. Although straight stairlifts are often not as expensive, curved stairlifts can be custom-built to fit any stairs. Modern rail layouts to suit your lifestyle, leaving a lot of room for people to walk up and down the stairs, and effortlessly can help the stairlift traveling around corners closely, comfortably.

2) Are there any good options for used or recycled lifts in my area?

Yes. Stairlifts that are recycled and reconditioned are an alternative and are accessible. Custom designed curved stairlifts are less easy to resell, because the angles around the curves really need to be an extremely close match. Otherwise, a recycled stairlift isn't fundamentally bad simply because it is used and offers a lot of edges. Many Michigan stairlift firms buy back stairlifts and resell them used. A used stairlift resold and may have been removed, as the man who depended on the raise improved within their condition, they moved, or the need for it was temporary. They cost significantly less than new versions. When buying a secondhand lift, make sure you ask some questions. Inquire about their weight as well as the prior owner /height requirements. We advise that you do not purchase one that is 10 years old, because that version is close to retirement. You can shorten the length of tracks if needed, as stated before. Nonetheless, ensure you stick to a very measured approach for cutting tracks, because a mistake will cost you.

3) How do stair lifts work?

Basically, it is like riding in your ski lift, minus the bitter cold. A safety belt keeps you firmly in place and also a foot rest prevents you from hitting the steps while utilizing the lift.

Occasionally the control panel can be found on the seat arm. Become acquainted with the specific features of your unit. The lift consists of a a carriage, a motor, the control system, and your comfy seat in order you could once again regain your mobility. Some models rely on a belt like a conveyor belt and a rack and pinion system is used by other models.

4) Can these lifts be used on wood flooring?

Lifts can be installed on all kinds of flooring (carpet, concrete, tile, marble, linoleum, or bare wooden stairway). When the stairlift is removed, holes will probably be obvious without carpeting. But, the holes are small and may be filled. Stairlifts may also be set up on wooden outdoor steps. In reality, most professionally installed stairlifts in Ann Arbor cost between $500 and $1,000 for the work given a variety of factors based on the issue of the occupation. Tile, metal stairways, or concrete are less easy than wooden stairway. Having wooden stairs as a construction material of the stairway makes the occupation for an installer less labor intensive and affordable for you.

6) How are you supposed to run power to a stair lift?

Electric power (AC) stairlifts need a grounded conventional 110v/20 amp wall socket located at or near the bottom or top of the stairs. Plug in the DC powered stairlift to recharge the battery when it's not being used. There are additionally DC powered units that enable the AC electricity to always charge the batteries while the DC power is used by the stairlift from the batteries. The battery controlled stairlift will continue to run until it runs out of electricity when there is a power outage. In case the transformer burns out, the DC stairlift WOn't run and also you should get the charger.

7) How much do electric stair lifts cost in Ann Arbor?

Used electrical-powered stairlifts can start at about $1,299.00, while battery powered stairlifts can begin at about $1,399.00 in Michigan. Both versions are comparably priced when you buy them new. The price difference is insignificant initially. In the long term, electric-powered stairlifts may cost you if you factor in the amount of maintenance and replacement batteries. Frequently, although there are batteries that are pretty simple to install determined by the model it is strongly recommended to get the battery replaced rather than attempt to replace it yourself. Most batteries are rated to last for about 3,200 one way trips, but the life of the battery actually depends on how frequently you use the stairlift.

8) How much do they weigh?

The units are hefty, which is one of the reasons we don't recommend attempting to install them yourself. The lightest units on the market weigh 165-180 pounds installed (seat and track). Some units weight over 250 pounds installed. Seat assemblages and tracks come in different sizes and shapes and are made of several types of materials depending on its best attributes and the model.

9) How sturdy are these lifts to install?

The sturdiness of the chair assembly and path of a stairlift can vary so that it is not bad to do a little bit of homework. In order to learn how sturdy a stairlift is, be sure it is strong enough for the heaviest user by comparing maximum weight capacities. More than a few companies claim that the sturdiest in the industry is the model that offers the most substantial weight capacity at 400 lbs.. Heavier duty versions need larger batteries and sturdier courses. Heavy duty models cost more so be sure you get the model that matches the individual who'll use the stairlift. Always check whether the producer has an established reputation for strong, safe and well made products.

10) Why are they so expensive to install?

Most importantly, they help you every step of the way and contain routine care. Professional installation is much more economic in the long-run with regards to service, warranty and long-term care because they can be trained to follow safety measures and experienced at installation. The installer is getting paid to properly install your unit in order that you do not face serious risks that do result when an inexperienced person opens the manual for the first time and installs a stairlift. A Ann Arbor professional also understands how to make sure that the stairlift follows fire exit demands, the best way to ensure that ensure that all the appropriate operating characteristics are empowered, and the charger connections are operating correctly to avoid serious accidents. The price you pay to truly have a trusted and trained tech ensures your safety and the longevity of your purchase. Repairs and re installations can take longer and cost more than an appropriate initial installment. Also, installation includes lifting a fair quantity of weight. Many installations may be completed in a couple of hours by a professional.

Since they're home adjustments, not durable medical equipment, Medicare will not cover stairlift equipment and installation prices. Durable medical equipment comprises lifts which are accustomed to help a patient in out of bed or a chair. In Michigan, individuals with limited financial resources may qualify for the Michigan Medicaid COPES Waiver, recently replaced by the Community First Choice Alternative. It enables people who need nursing home level attention to receive that care at home and supports independent living, including coverage for home alterations. Family members could be compensated for providing caregiving help. It is best to review insurance policies that are different. Some private health or long-term care insurance may help pay for small home alterations. Check with your Ann Arbor insurance insurance company to examine coverage choices. The National Association of Home Builders suggests that some auto insurance, worker's compensation, long-term care coverages, state disastrous accident insurance plans, and medical trust funds can cover the expenses of a house adjustment.

12) How much would a cheap one cost?
