Can stairlifts be installed on spiral staircases?
In many cases, yes. Custom curved rails can follow the turns of a spiral staircase. Each design is evaluated individually to ensure safety and function.
Do they make stairs unusable for others?
Not at all. Because the seat and footrest fold up when not in use, the stairs remain open for other household members.
How do I know when it’s time to service my stairlift?
If you notice unusual noises, slower movement, or error lights, it’s a sign the unit needs attention. Regular annual maintenance helps catch small issues before they become bigger problems.
Do stairlifts run during power outages?
Yes, they are equipped with rechargeable batteries that automatically activate when the power goes out. This backup system allows for multiple trips up and down the stairs, giving you peace of mind and uninterrupted access to your home during storms or unexpected outages.
