Frequently Asked Questions


1) How sturdy are these lifts to install?

The sturdiness of course and the seat assembly of a stairlift can fluctuate so it is great to do some assignments. Some companies assert that the sturdiest in the sector is the model that provides the heaviest weight capacity at 400 lbs.. Heavier duty models need more durable trails and bigger batteries. Most elevators are made to accommodate passengers who weigh 250 pounds or less. Heavy-duty versions cost more so be sure you get the model that fits the individual who will be using the stairlift. Always check whether the manufacturer has a proven reputation for durable, safe and well made products.

2) How are they powered?

Here's another remote to add to your collection, in case you have ever fought for the remote. You can conserve energy by turning it away with the remote also when you are not using the stairlift. Stairlifts come in both battery-powered (D/C) and electric (A/C) models. One factor is whether you live in a region that experiences lots of power outages, because you do not need to be stranded mid-elevator during a storm. (Nevertheless, ask the manufacturer about the backup power system that should be contained in your model.) Also, consider the cost of replacing the battery and the life of the battery. Generally, determined by the brand, it costs $30-$160 to replace the battery or batteries , not including service. While some favor electrical versions for reasons that range from battery life to some device difficulties particular to battery models, others prefer battery-powered stairlifts, since they could result in lower electric bills, although the expense of the electricity to operate the stairlift has been considered insignificant by most producers. You do not need to plug after every use in a battery charger, since the battery model still has a wall plug to keep the battery charged. Another thing to consider is how inclined the user is, because the seat and casing on some versions must be removed and cables have to be disconnected and reconnected to add the brand new battery. Request instructions and see whether it is something youwill wish to replace yourself. We'd be pleased to assist you. Make certain there's a spark plug within a couple of feet of the lift, in the event you choose an electrical version. No particular outlets are essential.

It really depends on your technical know-how. It is an extremely daunting procedure. It's possible for you to locate used stairlifts and save yourself from the inherent hassle and possible dangers of building one yourself. Some designs are offered online, nevertheless, without the right tools, materials and welding knowledge, this strategy might take a lot of headaches as well as a long time to build. Also, when you compare design plans that are shared for a stairlift to purchasing a tried and true tested model, a homemade version can't compete with commercial models as far as appearance and compactness. It's a rugged strategy to use. Additionally, remember security is really a headache for anyone who is going to rely on the lift, so it's essential that you do frequent checking and thorough testing of your handiwork.

4) Can you rent a stair lift for an extended period of time?

As a result of individual situation you could be facing, you will need to rent a stairlift instead of purchase one. Some makers offer this option understanding that there are certain occasions when a customer may only need it for a brief period of time. Maybe you'll have firm for a protracted period of time which will reap the benefits of its use, maybe you lease your house, or someone in your family has had an accident or surgery and desires it briefly.

Rental systems often offer a minimum of 3 months and frequently contain the installation and de-installation in the rental package. Some Wisconsin firms even offer rent to own programs. Yet, it is important to consider the cost of installation and de-installation before picking this alternative instead of purchasing a used stairlift.

5) Does AETNA cover the cost of these lifts?

No. Aetna bases this decision on whether several criteria are fulfilled. The Aetna member must be: (1) incapable of standing up from a regular armchair at home; (2) and must have severe arthritis of the hip or knee, or have acute neuromuscular disorder; (3) and the seat lift mechanism should be prescribed to effect improvement, or arrest or retard deterioration in the member's condition; (4) and once standing, the member must have the ability to ambulate.

As explained in the question that handles Medicare coverage of these medical devices, they essentially follow Medicare's rules for aerodynamic lift mechanisms.

6) How much would a cheap one cost?

You can likely locate an affordable stairlift for about $1,000, but we also advocate you be cautious of scams.

Otherwise, you'll have to factor in the cost of uninstalling and reinstalling the stairlift.

The total worth of your home will not depreciate. If you plan on selling your Eau Claire home, realtors used to urge that a stairlift be removed prior to putting your house on the Wisconsin marketplace, yet given increased life expectancy, this is not any longer the case. You may also completely remove the stairlift with no signs of setup when you no longer want or need it or move. Realtors can list that the stairlift is a high utility value for disabled people and that the house is appropriate for living that is accessible independent and when a purchaser needs it removed, then that chance is offered by them.

You will find out more about PASS through your Wisconsin Social Security Administration office or call toll free 800-772-1213.
