First off let’s discuss what a stair lift is. A stair lift is a piece of specially designed machinery that is designed to help a disabled or elderly person make use of both levels of their home by elevating or lowering them from the first floor to the second floor. Stair lifts are generally easy to install and are designed specifically for the type of staircase that you have in your home. Acorn Stairlift is a company that specializes in the design and sell of stair lifts. Acorn offers a wide variety of stairlifts that fit just about any home, stairway, or décor.
The type of stairlift that is most common is the straight stairlift, this means that the staircase goes straight between floors without any twists, curves, landings, or turns. Acorn Stairlift offers a variety of lifts such as the sit or stand lift which allows even those people that have difficulty bending their knees to use the lifts, straight stairlifts, curved stairlifts, perch stairlifts for narrow stairways or people that cannot bend their knees, and even outdoor models. Acorn Stairlift will install their own lifts in your home in as little time as an hour and they offer a guarantee that the stairlift will fit and function properly.
If you do not want to purchase your lift at full price from a company you can look into buying used lifts. These are generally lifts that were in the house of someone who’s loved one no longer used or needed the lift and often times you can find great lifts this way. Stairlift prices vary from brand to brand and also from new to used. A new lift can cost anywhere from $2, 000 to $3, 000. A used lift can cost just about anything but they generally sell for around $1, 000 to $1, 500. While installation cost does not figure into both of these prices in addition to the cost of the lift, it is still more economical to go with a used lift. If you have medicare that is paying for the lift however it is likely that a used lift will not be an option.
If you choose to purchase a lift used you will likely need to call a professional to install it for you to ensure that it is done properly and that there will be no danger in using it. Bruno Stair Lifts is another company that offers stairlifts for the home. These lifts are also varied like Acorn Stairlift’s lifts but there are fewer models of these lifts. Bruno Stair Lifts offers straight stairlifts in three different models and an outdoor lift. Aside from lifts with seats there are also wheelchair lifts and platform lifts. Either of these lift styles allows the user to get to the next floor of their home without having to worry about having someone to help them when they reach the top of the stairs.
