Reply To: Life of a Stairlift
Many years ago I bought a second hand stairlift to use at my sisters. I got the number of one of my council contracted workers who kindly serviced this one and replaced the batteries when needed.
Suppose you have to ask yourself.
how old is it? if its getting on in years can they get parts?
could you afford a new one?
is it hard wired or battery?
the batteries do need replacing every few years once lift over 6-8 years. It is possible to change yourself we got an electrician to change once.
Ask what they include in yearly service. The tech from council. cleans it. oils a part and runs it up and down few times. hes in average 30 min.
