Professional installation is significantly more efficient in the long-run when it comes to service guarantee and long-term care since they may be trained to follow safety measures and experienced at setup. The installer is getting paid to correctly install your unit in order you do not face serious hazards that do result when an inexperienced person opens the manual for the first time and installs a stairlift. A Dover professional also knows the way to make sure that the stairlift follows fire exit requirements, how to make sure that ensure that all the appropriate operating characteristics are empowered, and the charger connections are operating properly to avoid serious injuries. The cost you pay to really have a trusted and trained tech ensures the longevity of your purchase and also your security. Repairs and re installations can take longer and cost more than a proper first setup. Additionally, installment includes lifting a good amount of weight. Many setups can be completed in a few hours by a professional.

2) How are you supposed to run power to a stair lift?

Electric power (AC) stairlifts require a grounded normal 110v/20 amp wall socket found at or near the bottom or top of the staircase. Plug in the DC powered stairlift when it's not being used to recharge the battery. There are additionally DC powered units that empower the AC electricity to constantly charge the batteries while the stairlift uses the DC power from the batteries. The battery operated stairlift will continue to run until it runs out of power, if there's a power outage. The DC stairlift WOn't run if the transformer burns out and you have to get the charger serviced.

3) Does AETNA cover the cost of these lifts?

No. Aetna bases this determination on whether several standards are met. The Aetna member must be: (1) incapable of standing up from a regular armchair at home; (2) and must have severe arthritis of the hip or knee, or have serious neuromuscular disorder; (3) and the seat lift mechanism must be prescribed to effect improvement, or arrest or retard deterioration in the member's condition; (4) and once standing, the member should possess the capability to ambulate. Subsequently, Aetna would contemplate seat lift mechanisms medically necessary durable medical equipment (DME). However, Aetna does not cover stairlifts because they may be considered house modifications. As explained in the question that handles Medicare coverage of these medical devices, they essentially follow the rules for lift mechanisms of Medicare.

4) Are there any structural modifications needed before installing a lift?

No. Since stairlifts do not attach to the wall, there are no modifications which are essential. The stairlift is installed into existing stair treads. The one thing that we do advocate is that if you're planning to modify the flooring or carpet in your stairs in the next five years, you may want to intend to do it before you install your stairlift to prevent future removal and re-installation costs.

5) Does AARP cover the cost of these lifts?

AARP isn't a supplier of insurance, but contracts with insurers to make coverage available to AARP members. AARP doesn't make individuals health plan recommendations and doesn't cover the cost of any health needs or stairlifts. AARP does provide access to medical care tools and coverage like Medicare Supplement Insurance and other health plans to members as a resource, but member benefits are given by third parties. Check with the plans that are listed under the membership services of AARP.

It really depends upon your technical know how. It's a very daunting process. Some designs are available online, yet, with no correct tools, materials and welding knowledge, this approach may take a long time to build as well as a lot of problems. Also, when you compare design plans that are shared for a stairlift to buying a tried-and-true tested model that is, a home made version can't compete with commercial models as much as compactness and look. It's a rugged approach to take. Additionally, remember security is really a issue for anyone who is going to rely on the raise, so it's essential for you to do thorough testing and frequent checking account of your handiwork.
