Frequently Asked Questions


1) Can you build one of these yourselves?

It certainly depends on your practical know how. It's a very daunting procedure. Because their stairs are excessively narrow to use the ones out there, many people decide to create a home made stairlift or they are trying to work on a tight budget. It's possible for you to locate used stairlifts and save yourself from the hassle that is built-in and possible risks of building one yourself. Some layouts are offered online, however, with no correct tools, materials and welding knowledge, this strategy may take a lot of headaches as well as quite a while to build. Also, when you compare layout plans that are common for a stairlift to buying a tried-and-true tested model, a homemade version and commercial models can't compete as much as compactness and appearance. Itis a hardy approach to go. Also, remember safety is really a problem for anyone who's going to rely on the lift, therefore it is crucial that you do frequent checking and thorough testing of your handiwork.

2) Can these be used on carpeted floors?

Lifts can be installed on all forms of flooring (carpet, concrete, tile, marble, linoleum, or bare wooden stairs). Installers can twist right through the carpeting. All you will see is the tops of the screws through the supporting mounts underneath the rail. The courses do not cut inside the house, because the aluminum processors are quite hard to remove from the carpets. One thing that specialists say is that if your carpeting is likely to need replacing in the next FIVE years, you might want to replace it before you've a stairlift. Otherwise, you will have to factor in the cost of uninstalling and re installing the stairlift.

3) Does the VA cover the cost and installation of lifts?

According to AARP, The Department of Veterans Affairs offers a number of grants to qualified veterans with disabilities for safety developments in the home. Those include: the Home Improvements and Structural Alternations (HISA) Grant; The Specially Adapted Housing (SAH) grant; and also the Special Dwelling Version (SHA) grant. Upon qualification, a veteran can receive either and both a HISA grant SHA or a SAH grant. Contact the form 10-0103 to submit an application for the HISA grant. Contact the VA and ask for VA form 26-4555 to make an application for a SAH or SHA grant. For information on all gains phone 1 800 827 1000.

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

Yes. Reconditioned and recycled stairlifts are an alternative and are accessible. Custom designed curved stairlifts are less easy to resell, since the angles around the curves truly must be a very close match. Otherwise, a recycled stairlift offers lots of edges and isn't inherently bad merely because it's used. Many Washington stairlift firms resell them used and buy back stairlifts. A used stairlift may have been removed and resold, since the individual who depended on the lift enhanced in their state, they moved, or the demand for it was temporary. They cost significantly less than new models. Be sure to ask some questions, when purchasing a used lift. Ask about the prior owner and their weight /height demands. We recommend that you really do not purchase one which is 10 years old, because that model is close to retirement. You can shorten the length of tracks if necessary, as stated before. However, make sure that you stick to a very measured approach for cutting tracks, because a mistake will cost you.

5) How are they powered?

You can conserve 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) models. One consideration is whether you live in a region that experiences lots 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 that should be included in your version.) Additionally, consider the cost of replacing the battery and also the life of the battery. While some prefer electrical versions for reasons which range from battery life to some device difficulties specific to battery models, others favor battery-powered stairlifts, since they can result in lower electric bills, although the expense of the electricity to operate the stairlift has been considered insignificant by the majority of makers. Because the battery version has a wall plug to keep the battery charged you do not need to plug in a battery charger after every use. Another thing to consider is the way inclined the user is, cables have to be disconnected and reconnected to add the newest battery and as casing and the seat on some versions must be removed. Occasionally, this becomes a service call to an installer to create life simpler. Request directions and see if it's something you'll wish to replace yourself. We'd be pleased to assist you. Make certain there's a plug within a couple of feet of the lift, in the event you decide on an electrical model. No particular outlets are needed.

6) Does it increase or decrease the value of my home?

The complete value of your house won't depreciate. If you're planning on selling your Tacoma dwelling, realtors used to recommend that a stairlift be removed prior to placing your house on the Washington marketplace, nevertheless given increased life expectancy, this is not any longer the case. You may even entirely remove the stairlift with no signs of installation when you desire or want it or move. Realtors can list that the stairlift is a high utility value for physically disabled people and that the house is appropriate for accessible independent living and if a purchaser desires it removed, then that possibility is offered by them.

7) Can these lifts be used on wood flooring?

Lifts can be installed on all types of flooring (carpeting, concrete, tile, marble, linoleum, or bare wooden stairway). Holes will be evident without carpeting when the stairlift is removed. But, the holes are not large and could be filled. Stairlifts can also be set up on wooden outside steps. The rail will soon be attached to your wooden steps. In reality, most professionally installed stairlifts in Tacoma cost between $500 and $1,000 for the work given a variety of factors based on the difficulty of the job. Tile, concrete, or metal stairways are more difficult than wooden stairs.

8) How much do they weigh?

The units are heavy, which is one of the reasons we do not advocate trying to install them yourself. The lightest units on the market weigh 165-180 pounds installed (seat and course). Some units weight over 250 pounds installed. Chair collections and courses come in different sizes and shapes and are made of several types of materials determined by its finest features and the model.

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

Depending in your medical condition, there are a few plans which help make the house adjustment less expensive. 1. The Fall Prevention Center of Excellence lists government grants that are offered for home modifications. Those comprise: (a) the Assistive Technology Funding and Systems Change Project United Cerebral Palsy Associations (UCPA) at 800 872 5827-UCPA ; (b) the Department of Veteran Affairs at (800) 827-1000 ; and (c) the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) (800) 829-1040. 2. Contact the National Council on Independent Living Center (703) 525-3406 on ways to get funding and referral services locally. 3. 4. It may reassure you to understand that if your insurance does not cover the price, several of the stairlift makers have partnered with banks to provide funding alternatives, including loans and monthly payment alternatives. 5. There are other options to consider. The Internal Revenue Service may decide your house adjustment qualifies for tax deductions. Phone the IRS to determine if you can deduct the price of installing your stairlift. IRS Publication 502 is an excellent resource that can allow you to estimate whether changing your stairway qualifies you to deduct it as a medical expense. You can also phone them at (800) 829-1040. 6. Some Area Agency of Aging use funds from the Older Americans Act Title III to alter dwellings, should you qualify. You can call them toll free at 877-866-2476 or visit http://www.nahro.org

10) Is there any way to sell the equipment when we are done with it?

Yes. There are providers and makers that offer buyback programs. Many of them will remove the unwanted raise also. Many buyers don't like to buy straight from a seller, whether it will work on their stairway and because they should have it checked out by a professional to determine how well it works. Specific models sell not more difficult than others.

11) How do stair lifts work?

Essentially, it's like riding in your ski lift, minus the bitter cold. You sit in a motorized swivel chair snugly equipped to make you as comfortable as possible with features that are personalized. A safety belt keeps you firmly in place and also a foot rest prevents you from hitting the steps while utilizing the lift. Some stairlifts call/send controls on the wall close to the tracks for a user or a remote control can be used by you to send the seat in which you want it to go. Occasionally the control panel can be found on the seat arm. Become knowledgeable about the specific characteristics of your unit. The lift consists of a the control system, a carriage, a motor, and your comfy seat in order you could once more regain your mobility. Some versions rely on a belt like a conveyor belt and a rack and pinion system is used by other models.

12) Can the track be shortened?

Yes. The tracks may be corrected and the length may be reduced. Yet, using the correct personal protective gear is highly advised. Some producers of stairlifts supply do it yourself cutting instructions. Hereis the catch though. The track discovers how well the stairlift will run. Making sure that you get the span of the stairs to correspond together with the path length is extremely essential. Without appropriate measurements, you may discover the setup results in more problems instead of relying on professional installers with expertise. You might have difficulty returning them depending on the return policy, if you cut the courses incorrectly. Most manufacturers will only accept returns if the course has not yet been cut, because the cut of the course is custom designed. We highly recommend that you cut the course yourself or do not install your own stairlift. It is not very safe. An incorrect shortening of the track or the wrong length of path can not prove terribly safe, especially when the track is too short. It is very important the tracks and the chair work precisely. Accredited installers will save you from lots of head aches and worry and potential prevent injuries that are horrible.
