Answering Important Questions About Stair Lifts in Buffalo, Rochester, Ithaca, NY, Erie, and Surrounding Areas

Stair lifts are an affordable and practical technology that can make life easier for individuals with limited mobility.

Whether you have decided on a stair lift for your home or not, it is normal to have questions about stair lifts, and we are here to help by answering some of the most important questions about this useful accessibility technology, such as:

  • Will my insurance cover the cost of my new stair lift?

Elder Man on Stair Lift on Stairs in Buffalo, Rochester, Ithaca, NY, ErieIt is very unlikely that your insurance, either Medicare or other private insurance company, will cover the cost of your new stair lift.

  • What will happen to my stair lift in the event of a power outage?

In the event of a power outage, it is very likely that your stair lift will operate normally. Most stair lifts can be powered by batteries, and some even self-charge on the track.

  • How long does it take to install a stair lift?

Stair lift installation can take as little as two hours in some cases. It completely depends on your staircase and the type of stair lift being installed.
