Buying The Right Stairlifts Beverly Hills

By Kate McMahon





Elderly people and people with mobility issues can find certain things in life difficult. If their home has stairs this can often be something hard to deal with. However this does not mean that if they have mobility problems that they have to move to a one floor property. With the right stairlifts Beverly Hills people with mobility problems can stay in their home without worrying about having problems going upstairs.



A good reason for this is to reduce the risk of injury. You do not necessarily need to be unable to walk. As people get older they can find it harder to move up the stairs. Even the most careful people can have an accident and it is worth reducing this risk as much as possible.



In broad terms a standard model for a straight staircase will take around one to two weeks to install. If you feel that it is urgent that it needs to be fitted as soon as possible this needs to be discussed prior to getting the stairlift fitted. Once it is fitted the installation is relatively fast and you ought to be able to use it within two hours.



How long the stairlift takes to install depends on the type you need and the staircase you have. This in terms of both the physical size and whether or not there are any angles or curves. If you have a long staircase then this will cost more than a smaller one as you will need a larger track and it will take longer to install.



This is also true for people with angled or curved staircases as it requires additional customisation. The reason that this requires more money is because it takes time to fit a track alongside a curve or angle. This takes an additional week to two weeks so it is important to budget for both the extra materials and the extra maintenance involved in fitting it and ensuring that it works properly.



The reason that curved or angled staircases take longer is that the track needs to be reshaped in order to fit moving alongside the corners. This additional work means you can expect this particular model to take an extra week or two weeks more than the standard model.



Typically a warranty ought to be at least 12 months and cover emergency call outs. This means that if someone does get stuck halfway up the stairs someone can come in and fix the problem to ensure that they are not stuck for too long. It is vital to make sure that the warranty specifically covers this. A genuine supplier ought to be happy to offer reassurance to their customers and answer any queries you may have.



Remember when choosing stairlifts Beverly Hills to look for suppliers that are approved and have the appropriate certification. As well as being willing to prove this they should also be willing to provide an estimate that you can compare with other companies. Look online to see what services are in your local area to see what is best for your needs and the needs of anyone that you are caring for.
