“INTERNET ONLY” STAIRLIFTS, IS IT WORTH THE RISK?
Many websites have popped up offering self-install stairlifts, or
offering to sell you a stairlift and arrange installation by a local
subcontractor. A word to the wise; don’t do it.
DANGEROUS
We spoke with one man who self-installed a stairlift he purchased on the
web for his wife. Unfortunately, he made a critical mistake during the
installation. As a result, the first time he rode the lift he was thrown
off, slammed to the ground and suffered a broken shoulder. All this
while trying to prepare for his wife’s return home from the hospital.
One of our manufacturers relayed an even more tragic story of
self-install where a young child was seriously injured by a
self-installed stairlift. A relative had self-installed the stairlift
and failed to set up the safety sensors correctly. As a result, the
child was seriously injured when his sister rode the lift as the young
boy sat on the track. A correctly installed lift would have prevented
this terrible accident by sensing the child in the path of the stairlift
and stopping the lift before colliding with the boy.
INSTALLATION PROBLEMS
Not only are there safety issues with self-installed lifts, we receive
countless phone calls from people who have bought self-install lifts on
the web and suddenly found themselves overwhelmed by the poor
instructions, or maybe they damaged the unit during installation,
ordered the wrong lift for their needs, or are unable to get support
from the website they bought the lift from.
These websites also offer a measurement and installation service by
subcontractors. Problems here have been sloppy, untrained, and
uninsured installers who show up ill prepared. One of our customers
told us that their installer showed up in a beaten up old car and even
asked to borrow tools!
Don’t take the risk of having a poorly trained uninsured installer in
your house when our prices are only slightly more (sometimes we’re even
less), always include a 2 year “Top To Bottom” Parts & Labor Warranty,
24/7 Repair Service, Lifetime Parts & Labor Drive Train Warranty, and
professional installation by our own fully trained and insured
employees.
SERVICE ISSUES
StairLifts have a motor and many moving parts. Should your “Internet
Only” stair lift require repair service you may find yourself out of
luck. Internet stair lift companies do not have local service
representatives. They are just as their name implies…Websites. When it
comes to service they may be able to give you a few names of
subcontractors in your area and that’s it “Here’s the number…good luck”.
Don’t be surprised if the repair cost $300-500 dollars and your lift is
down for a week or more.
AEMA: THE ACCESSIBILITY EQUIPMENT
MANUFACTURER'S ASSOCIATION
AEMA strongly recommends that
stair lifts, chair lifts, and platform lifts be installed by "an
experienced technician" and "does not support the concept of
self-installation". Read the
AEMA position paper.
TOO EXPENSIVE
Internet stair lifts are too expensive. That’s right. The initial price
may seem like a deal but read on to see why it’s not a good value…
