Things To Know About Stair Lifts

by Dylan Owens

A stair lift is a fairly complicated system that many people will find that they need to have installed. Yet, a lack of understanding when it comes to the basics of these devices can cause individuals to be poorly informed about them or they may not consider having these units installed. Clarifying misconceptions by answering these questions should make this decision somewhat easier for you to make.  

Who Would Benefit From Having A Stair Lift Installed?

Many individuals assume that a stair lift will only be useful for those that are completely unable to use their legs. However, it is a reality that a variety of health problems can make climbing the stairs hazardous. As a result, anyone that is suffering from mobility related issues may benefit from having one of these units installed. Otherwise, they may find that it is simply unsafe for them to go to the higher floors of their homes.

How Is A Stair Lift Powered?

Stair lifts are directly wired into the home's electrical system. Due to the fact that power outages can be an unavoidable part of modern life, you may have worries about these stair lifts failing to function during periods when the power is out. In order to ensure that you will be able to use your stair lift during periods of electrical disruptions, a high-capacity battery backup will be needed. Many stair lifts come with these components included, but others may not include these components. By verifying that any stair lifts you are considering have long lasting battery backups in place, you will be able to retain freedom of movement around your house regardless of there being a power outage.

Will A Stair Lift Need Any Type Of Maintenance?

While a stair lift can restore your ability to move freely around your home, it will be a highly sophisticated mechanical system that will need regular maintenance to continue to function efficiently. Failing to meet the maintenance needs of these devices can cause them to fail to operate or to suffer serious damages due to friction, misalignments and jams.

Maintaining a stair lift will require a yearly service visit as well as monthly cleanings. During the service visit, a technician will balance, tune and repair the various mechanical parts of the system so that any worn components are replaced. Your monthly cleanings will help to avoid potential problems as it will allow dust and dirt to be removed before it can cause performance issues with the system.
