9 Quick Tips To Buying A Stair Lift

We have all seen the TV commercials where the gent has not
slept with his wife for over 3 years because he cannot get up
the stairs of their home.

The first couple of times I seen this ad, I laughed,  it was cute.
Imagine. 

Then when I got over the expected reaction guided by the
commercial, this was not so bloody funny.  I had been
sucked in by black humor. 

I mean think about it.  What were their options?
1. Get advanced medical treatment
2. Move t o an apartment
3. Buy a Stair Lift.

Here are 9 tips for installing a stair lift:
-- Ask questions about the models that a company sells.
-- Read sales literature and brochures, find out about the different brands of stair lifts and the models available.
-- Get several quotes from different companies, but make sure they are for the same or 'like for like' models before comparing the prices.
-- Make sure the quote covers the supply AND fitting of the stair lift.
-- If you have a curved staircase, ask the company to assess your staircase and give you a personalized quote.
-- Compare also the after sales service. What happens if your stair lift breaks down? Are you covered for repairs and maintenance or do you have to pay out extra for a service contract?
-- If you are thinking of purchasing from a non-manufacturer, check that the company is an approved supplier, otherwise they may not be able to obtain spare parts.
-- And never buy a stair lift from someone who tries to make you buy that day or is pushing a certain stair lift on you. Salespeople are paid to clench deals and will often discount the price heavily to secure the sale - but the model they want you to buy may not be right for you.
--Make Inquires to the  Occupational Therapy Department of your local social services.

Would someone please pass this on to any couple in this situation.
