Stair Lift Prices
Are you considering buying a stair lift? Have you done some price shopping already? Then you have probably noticed that stair lifts are not cheap.
The price could vary greatly, usually from around $1,300 to $10,000, depending on what type of stair lift you are looking at buying.
Here, I’ll share some tips regarding stair lift prices that you may find useful:
- Reconditioned stair lifts are much cheaper than brand new once. These are used lifts that have been refurbished for sale again. The downside is that they typically carry warranty up to a year only, while new stair lifts come with one to five-year warranty.
- Getting a stair lift for a curved stairway will cost you noticeably more. Curved stairlifts are more expensive compared to straight stairlifts. Their installation is complicated, and vendors charge extra for that. Make sure to request details about the installation cost before you sign any papers.
- Some insurance companies cover partially or completely the cost of a new stairlift installation. However, don’t expect Medicare to pay for it. Read more on the subject on Can my Insurance Pay for a Stair Lift?
- If after exploring all of your options you still are not able to afford to buy a stair lift, you may consider a Stair Lift Rental. This is a great cost-effective option for people who need a stairlift only temporary.
After you put down some money for a deposit you can expect to pay $100-$150 monthly rent. The drawback is that most lifts available for rent are often simple models straight stairlifts. It’s usually hard to find a curved lift for rent that can fit your particular staircase.
I hope that this information gave you some idea on the current prices in the stairlift market. Now you can go ahead and make a smart decision for your home.
