Important Warning About Self-Installation or Inexperienced
Installers:
The Accessibility Equipment Manufacturers Association (AEMA) discourages self-installation
because of the high degree of experience required to correctly install the individual stairlift safety features.
No matter how easy an installation may appear, lack of experience invites unsafe consequences. If you are considering self-installation, or installation by a non-qualified local shop that lacks our 35 years experience, please think carefully about the risks before proceeding.
Questions to ask when choosing a Stairlift Installer:
- Does the installer do this full-time or part time?
- How long have they been in the business?
- Will they show you proof of insurance? What type of insurance?
- Do they have a place of business, or do they work out of their house?
(Hint: "no showroom" = no commitment) - Are they incorporated, or is this a hobby?
- Have they performed installs for schools and hospitals?
- Are they dedicated stairlift install and repair technicians or is it just a side business?
- How long have they been in the business?
- Is their business address proudly displayed on their website? Is it a real address, or a maildrop?
In many cases installation from an unqualified technician voids the factory warranty. The above questions will help you decide if the installer is professionally qualified.
As an
elevator sub-contractor, New York Stairlifts is fully insured with specific liability coverage for
