How do you know which is right for you?
Understanding your options
Stairlifts serve as vital solutions for individuals with mobility challenges, enabling them to navigate stairs safely and independently. Both new and refurbished stairlifts can fulfill this purpose, but they come with different advantages and considerations.
New stairlifts
A new stairlift typically offers the latest technology and features. Manufacturers often provide extensive warranties, ensuring peace of mind for buyers. For instance, new models might include advanced safety features, modern designs and enhanced comfort options. Additionally, purchasing a new stairlift means you can choose from a wide range of styles and configurations tailored to your home’s specific requirements.
Refurbished stairlifts
Refurbished stairlifts, such as the straight Stannah stairlifts available from Droitwich Stairlifts, present a cost-effective alternative. Each model has been thoroughly inspected, repaired and restored to ensure they meet safety and performance standards. Many customers find that refurbished stairlifts offer excellent value, providing many of the benefits of a new stairlift at a fraction of the price.
Simon Taylor, Managing Director of Droitwich Stairlifts, emphasises,
"Our refurbished straight Stannah and our renovated curved stairlifts are meticulously restored and offer reliable performance, making them a practical choice for many households in Droitwich and the surrounding areas. We also offer local outdoor solutions as well as maintenance and servicing."
Key considerations
When deciding between a refurbished or new stairlift, consider the following factors:
- Budget: If you are working with a limited budget, refurbished stairlifts can significantly reduce costs while still providing necessary functionality. New stairlifts often come with higher price tags due to their advanced features and extended warranties.
- Usage requirements: Assess your specific needs. If you can accommodate the initial investment, a new model may be suitable. However, a refurbished model can be an ideal solution for those on a budget or looking for a sustainable option.
- Warranty and support: New stairlifts generally come with comprehensive warranties that protect your investment. Refurbished models may have shorter warranties, so it’s essential to understand the terms of the warranty before purchasing. Droitwich Stairlifts offers support for their refurbished models, ensuring that customers have access to assistance when needed - plus a warranty.
- Installation and maintenance: The installation process for both new and refurbished stairlifts should be handled by professionals to ensure safety and compliance with regulations. After installation, maintenance is crucial for the longevity of the stairlift. Regular check-ups can help identify any issues before they become serious problems, regardless of whether you choose a new or refurbished model.
- Aesthetics and design: If you have specific design preferences or want a stairlift that seamlessly integrates with your home’s decor, both new and refurbished stairlifts provide many options. Many refurbished stairlifts are available in various designs and colours, ensuring that you can still find a model that complements your home.
Making the right choice
Ultimately, the decision between a refurbished and a new stairlift depends on your individual circumstances and preferences. Either way, it’s crucial to evaluate your needs, budget and the specific features that matter most to you.
Visiting a local supplier like Droitwich Stairlifts allows you to explore your options in person and discuss your needs with knowledgeable staff. They can provide insights into the latest models and help you assess the benefits of refurbished straight Stannah stairlifts, curved options and compare to new alternatives.
Conclusion
Choosing the right stairlift is a significant decision that affects your mobility and quality of life. By carefully considering your needs and the advantages of both new and refurbished stairlifts, you can make an informed choice that best suits your situation. Whether you opt for a new model that you’d like us to service and maintain or a refurbished option that provides value and reliability, Droitwich Stairlifts is here to support you every step of the way.
