Quick answers when you are choosing a stairlift
Do I need a straight or curved lift?
A single unbroken flight normally starts with a straight-rail assessment. Bends and landings require the complete route to be considered. Compare the two.
What does a stairlift cost?
The model, rail, options and fitting affect the total. Our price guide provides dated published starting figures and explains their limitations.
Can I rent one?
Yes, O’Connor Carroll offers rental enquiries. Layout, available equipment and terms need confirming. Explore rental.
Can I try a lift?
The Ballymount showroom offers straight and curved demonstrations; call to confirm the model you want to try.
Funding, fitting and ownership questions
Is grant help available?
The Mobility Aids Grant can support approved stairlift work. The council assesses eligibility; read the current grant guide before ordering.
How often is servicing recommended?
O’Connor Carroll recommends an annual service, subject to the model instructions and agreement. See the maintenance guide.
Will the lift run during a power cut?
Battery-powered models can operate while sufficient charge remains. Capacity depends on condition and use. Read the power-cut guide.
My lift has stopped—what should I do?
Use the repair phone route, not a new-sales form. Give the model, location and warning details; do not bypass safety devices.
