The home evaluation is the first step to finding out if a stair lift is right for you and your family. A HomeLift stair lift consultant will provide valuable insight on stair lift needs, use, type, and positioning. The home evaluation is necessary to take accurate stair case measurements and provide a stair lift recommendation. The home evaluation typically takes 30-45 minutes.
The stair lift consultant will verify the following measurements and requirements at the home evaluation:
- Length of staircase - Commonly known as the A to B measurement. This is the measurement along the nosings from the upper to the lower landing.
- Width of staircase
- Rise and Tread - Number of risers and the height of each measured from tread nose down to next tread. Depth of tread measured horizontally from step nose to step nose
- Stair Lift Position - Left or Right side of the stair case
- Outlet Requirements - A standard electrical outlet must be easily accessible to operate the stair lift
- User Requirements - Options needed specific to the users' needs
