Reconditioned Stair Lifts
There are many companies that specialise in the installation
of used and reconditioned stairlifts and it is our
aim to help you find the supplier who is best able to fulfil your needs
in the most cost effective manner possible. As well as being considerably
cheaper than new stairlifts there is the added advantage that reconditioned
stairlifts can usually be installed much quicker as there is no waiting
time in terms of manufacturing. Typically a reconditioned stairlift can
be installed in about a week whereas a new curved stairlift may take up to 6 weeks as the stairlift track has to be made to the exact measurements of your stair case.
A cheaper option than buying a new stairlift is to buy
a used stair lift. Some people are put off the idea of buying second hand
stairlifts, but before they are resold by the stairlift company they are
refurbished. This involves thorough cleaning of upholstery and servicing
the motor to ensure the stair lift is in the best possible working condition.
Why buy a reconditioned stairlift? Reconditioned stairlifts can save you a considerable amount of money compared with buying a new stairlift. However, you should only buy from an approved supplier as not all stairlift companies are as thorough when it comes to refurbishing a used stairlift.
The price of a reconditioned stairlifts can vary depending on their age - most reconditioned stairlifts sold by stairlift companies are around 6-18months old. The saving is greater with curved stairlifts than with straight stairlifts, primarily because with reconditioned curved stairlifts - unlike new curved stair lifts - the stairlift track is not custom made to your staircase. Generally reconditioned stairlifts will save you about 20-25% on straight stairlifts and around 30% on curved stairlifts.
Reconditioned stairlifts are a good option if you are on a tight budget and are especially good value if you are buying a curved stairlift. Generally, reconditioned stairlifts come with a more limited warranty than new stairlifts but you should ensure that your reconditioned stairlift comes with a 12month warranty as standard.
