Frequently Asked Questions


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

Because of individual situation you could be facing, you might need to lease a stairlift instead of buy one. Some makers offer this option understanding that there are particular occasions when a customer may only need it for a very short period of time. Maybe you will have business for an extended amount of time which will benefit from its use, perhaps you rent your home, or someone in your household has had surgery or an accident and desires it briefly. Sometimes, depending on the medical condition, you just can not be sure how long you'll need the stairlift and renting appears like the best alternative on a month-to-month basis. Some Massachusetts companies even offer rent to own software. Nevertheless, it's important to consider the price of installation and de-installation before picking this option instead of purchasing a used stairlift.

2) How are they powered?

Here's another remote to add to your collection, in the event you've ever fought for the remote. You can save energy by turning it off with the remote also when you are not using the stairlift. Stairlifts come in both battery-powered (D/C) and electrical (A/C) versions. One concern is whether you reside in a region that experiences a lot of power outages, as you do not want to be stranded mid-elevator during a thunderstorm. (Nonetheless, ask the manufacturer about the backup power system which should be contained in your model.) Additionally, consider the price of replacing the life of the battery as well as the battery. Usually, determined by the brand, it costs $30-$160 to replace batteries or the battery , not including service. While some favor electric versions for reasons that range from battery life to some device issues unique to battery models, others prefer battery powered stairlifts, because they can result in lower electric bills, although the expense of the electricity to use the stairlift has been considered negligible by the majority of makers. Because the battery model has a wall plug to keep the battery charged you don't have to plug in a battery charger after every use. Another thing to consider is the way inclined the user is, as the seat and casing on some versions have to be removed and cables need to be disconnected and reconnected to fit the brand new battery. Occasionally, this becomes a service call to an installer to make life simpler. Ask for directions and see whether it's something that you'll want to replace yourself. We'd be very happy to help you out. Make sure there's a spark plug within a couple of feet of the lift in the event you decide on an electric model. No specific outlets are essential. Ask how to change the back up fuse on an electric stairlift.

3) What types of financing are available if insurance doesn't cover home modifications?

Depending on your medical condition, there are a few plans which help make the home adjustment more affordable. 1. Government grants which are available for home alterations are listed by the Fall Prevention Centre of Excellence. 2. Contact the National Council on Independent Living Center (703) 525-3406 on the best way to get backing and referral services in your town. 3. You can also contact the Federal Housing Administration (ORFHA) which is part of the US Department of the Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to apply for financing to pay for your stairlift through a mortgage insurance program. Call (202) 708-1112. 4. It may reassure you to be aware of that if your insurance does not cover the cost, several of the stairlift makers have partnered with banks to provide funding alternatives, including loans and monthly payment options. 5. There are other options to consider. The IRS may determine your home alteration qualifies for tax deductions. Phone the IRS to see if you can deduct the cost of installing your stairlift. IRS Publication 502 is a great resource that can allow you to gauge whether altering your stairs qualifies you to deduct it as a medical expense. You can also call them at (800) 829-1040. 6. Some Area Agency of Aging use resources from the Older Americans Act Title III to alter dwellings should you meet the requirements. Call the Eldercare Locator at (800) 677-1116 or visit www.n4a.org 7. Many cities and towns use Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) for home modifications, so check with your Cambridge, Massachusetts office. It's possible for you to call them toll free at 877 866 2476 or visit http://www.nahro.org

4) How much do electric stair lifts cost in Cambridge?

Used electric-powered stairlifts can start at about $1,299.00, while battery-powered stairlifts can start at about $1,399.00 in Massachusetts. Both versions are comparably priced when you buy them new. The price difference is minimal initially. In the long term, electrical-powered stairlifts may cost you if you factor in the price of replacement and upkeep batteries. Often, although there are batteries which are reasonably simple to install depending on the model, it's recommended to get the battery rather than attempt to replace it yourself. Most batteries are rated to last for around 3,200 one way trips, but the life of the battery actually depends on how frequently you use the stairlift.

5) Does AETNA cover the cost of these lifts?

No. Aetna bases this determination 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 severe neuromuscular disorder; (3) and the seat lift mechanism should be prescribed to effect improvement, or arrest or retard deterioration in the member's state; (4) and once standing, the member has to have the capability to ambulate. Then, Aetna would contemplate seat lift mechanisms medically necessary durable medical equipment (DME). However, Aetna doesn't insure stairlifts because they're considered house modifications. They essentially follow the rules for lift mechanisms of Medicare as described in the question that handles Medicare coverage of these medical devices.

6) Can these lifts be used on wood flooring?

Lifts can be set up on all forms of flooring (carpeting, concrete, tile, marble, linoleum, or bare wooden stairs). Holes will probably be obvious without carpeting when the stairlift is removed. But, the holes are small and can be filled. Stairlifts can also be installed on wooden outside steps. Actually, most professionally installed stairlifts in Cambridge price between $500 and $1,000 for the labour given a variety of factors based on the difficulty of the occupation. Tile, metal staircases, or concrete are less easy than wooden stairway.

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

Electric power (AC) stairlifts demand a grounded standard 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 used. There are additionally DC powered units that enable the batteries to always charge while the stairlift uses the DC power from the batteries. The battery operated stairlift will continue to run until it runs out of electricity, if there is a power outage. The DC stairlift is not going to run, if the transformer burns out and you also must possess the charger.

8) How fast do stairlifts go?

Typically the speed ranges from 13.78 feet per minute to 29.53 feet per minute with the speed changing with the rider's weight, all within the recommended industry standard. The most speed in the US is 40 feet per minute. Units can include an emergency brake safety feature in case you feel out of control descending. The American Society of Mechanical Engineers oversees the standards for stairway chair lifts for matters of public safety, including speed under ASME A18.1.. Some manufacturers provide a changeable speed of 0 to 38 feet per minute.

9) How much do stair lifts costs?

Based on Consumer Affairs, the very best nine stairlift brand names starting with the best-rated contain: Reachable Building, Acorn Stairlifts, Rise Stairlifts, Silver Cross, Bruno, AmeriGlide, State Home Elevator, 101 Freedom and Stannah. Specialists rate these based on a number of features, variables, and as a result of conditions. Since every stairway is different, many of these companies don't publicize their prices. Often, they're going to beat any competitive quote. Used stairlifts can cost under $2,000. Support and rental programs are available. While some do not comprise installation in the cost, some products are sold as complete packages including installment along with a warranty. The shape of the stairwell, the span of the seat style, the path, work, and the features you need decide the price.

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

Yes. Reconditioned and recycled stairlifts are accessible and are an option. Custom designed curved stairlifts are more difficult to resell, because the angles around the curves really should be an extremely close match. A recycled stairlift is fundamentally good simply because it is used and offers plenty of advantages. Many Massachusetts stairlift firms resell them used and buy stairlifts back. A used stairlift resold and may have been removed, as the person who depended on the raise improved in their own state, they moved, or the need for it was temporary. They cost significantly less than new models. Be sure to ask some questions when buying a lift that is used. Inquire about the previous owner as well as their weight /height requirements. Ask about the age of the model that is used. We recommend that you really do not purchase one which is 10 years old, because that version is close to retirement. You can shorten the length of tracks if required, as mentioned before.

11) How much does a good stair lift cost?

The cost averages around $3,500 to over $10,000 for a great stairlift. that is Help and rental programs are available. $6,000 and for a custom curved rail stairway costs are around $10,000. to for a straight flight of stairs look to spend between $2,500 While some do not contain installment in the purchase price, some products are sold as complete packages including a guarantee as well as setup. The shape of the stairwell, the length of the seat style, the track, job, and also the attributes you want decide the cost.

12) How sturdy are these lifts to install?

The sturdiness of track and the chair assembly of a stairlift can vary so that it's not bad to do a little bit of homework. Some companies assert the most durable in the industry is the model that provides the heaviest weight capacity at 400 lbs.. Heavier duty versions demand stronger courses and bigger batteries. Heavy duty models cost more so be sure to get the model that fits the person who will be using the stairlift. Always check whether the manufacturer has an established reputation for durable, safe and well made products.
