Buying secondhand reconditioned stair lifts from a reputable manufacturer can save you a lot of money. But please let the cost-cutting stop there.
There are far too many tales of people buying reconditioned stairlifts from the classified ads or off eBay and then trying to install them themselves. It’s just too easy to get the carriage installation wrong and break the stairlift body. Then you’ll be faced with a repair bill of probably more than you paid for the stairlift. For what you spent on the reconditioned stair lift and the repair, you could have had a brand new stairlift fitted by qualified engineers.
DIY installation of reconditioned stair lifts is tempting because many reputable manufacturers like Stannah and Bison are increasingly turning to battery-powered stairlifts. This means that the happy amateur installer doesn’t have to worry about tricky wiring issues.
The other problem with installing your own reconditioned stair lift is a bit more serious. Because reconditioned stair lifts are moving machinery, they can be dangerous. If they’re not installed by a fully qualified engineer, then serious injury or even a fatality could result.
What could go wrong? Well, consider this. Is your used stair lift right-handed or left-handed? Electrical safety edges are wired one way or the other – get it wrong and the results could be nasty. And what about curved stairlifts? It’s a really bad idea to buy a reconditioned curved stairlift, as they’re bespoke to each staircase.
We all like saving cash, especially in a recession. It’s just wise to know that sometimes saving money comes at a price. So call UK Stairlifts today on 0800 0807997 for expert advice on reconditioned stair lifts. We are here from 6.30am until 11.30pm in the evening to answer your call
