Electric power (AC) stairlifts need a grounded normal 110v/20 amp outlet found at or close to the bottom or top of the staircase.

The battery controlled stairlift will continue to run until it runs out of power, when there's a power outage. The DC stairlift will not run, if the transformer burns out and you should get the charger.

8) Can these lifts be used on wood flooring?

Lifts can be installed on all types of flooring (carpet, concrete, tile, marble, linoleum, or bare wooden stairs). When the stairlift is removed, holes will be apparent without carpeting. But, the holes are not large and can be filled. Stairlifts can also be set up on wooden outside steps.

Tile, metal stairways, or concrete are more difficult than wooden stairs.

Some stairlifts call/send controls on the wall close to the courses for a user or a remote control can be used by you to send the chair where you want it to go. Sometimes the control panel is situated on the seat arm. Become knowledgeable about the particular features of your unit. Once you are prepared, depending on the version you bought or leased, you can control the speed and adjust the seat as you travel up and down your stairway. The lift consists of a the control system, a carriage, a motor, and your comfy seat so that you could once again regain your freedom. Some versions rely on a belt like a conveyor belt and other versions use a rack and pinion system.

Medicaid in your state may cover stairlifts through Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) Waivers. In Hawaii, individuals with limited financial resources might be eligible for the Hawaii Medicaid COPES Waiver, recently replaced by the Community First Choice Alternative. It empowers individuals who supports independent living and require nursing home level attention to receive that attention at home, including coverage for home alterations. Family members can be compensated for providing caregiving help.

Because they may be considered residence changes, nonetheless, Aetna doesn't cover stairlifts. As explained in the question that handles Medicare coverage of these medical devices, they essentially follow the rules for lift mechanisms of Medicare.

12) How are they powered?

You can conserve energy by turning it off with the remote also when you're not using the stairlift. Stairlifts come in both battery-powered (D/C) and electric (A/C) models. One concern is whether you reside in a location that experiences a lot of power outages, because you do not want to be stranded mid-elevator during a thunderstorm. (Nevertheless, ask the manufacturer about the backup power system that should be contained in your version.) Additionally, consider the price of replacing the battery and the life of the battery. While some favor electric models for reasons ranging from battery life to some apparatus difficulties unique to battery versions, others prefer battery-powered stairlifts, because they can result in lower electric bills, although the cost of the electricity to operate the stairlift has been considered insignificant by the majority of makers. Because the battery model has a wall plug to maintain the battery charged, you don't have to plug in a battery charger after every use. Another thing to think about is the way inclined the user is, because the seat and housing on some versions must be removed and wires need to be disconnected and reconnected to insert the new battery. Ask for directions and see whether it is something you'll need to replace yourself. We'd be very happy to assist you. Make certain there's a plug within several feet of the elevator, in the event you choose an electric model. No particular outlets are crucial. Ask the best way to change the back up fuse on an electrical stairlift.
