How much does a stair lift cost?

Frequently asked questions

How much does a straight stair lift cost?

New straight stair lifts range from $3,400 to $4,600, the average cost usually lands in the middle of this range.  The prices include installation and 2 years service warranty.

How much does a curved stair lift cost?

Each curved stair lift is custom built for your individual staircase and is designed to transport the user over winder steps, intermediate landings and around turns in the staircase.  While the investment is higher than a straight stair lift, it does avoid the inconvenience and expense of either moving home, or taking on construction to add extra bedrooms or bathrooms to the first floor.

Each custom curved stair lift is priced based on the length of the track, number of bends and any additional features you need.    A basic stairway configuration will start around $10,000 and can increase depending on the length and complexity of the staircase.

Stair lift options

Ugrade options on a stairlift do add additional cost and are not always required, but here is a list of some addtional features you can add:

  • Folding hinged track  This can help to keep walkways clear if space is limited.
  • Powered swivel seat  All stair lifts come with a manual swivel seat as standard however, if you fell this may be difficult you can opt for a powered swivel seat which will turn the chair with a push of a buttion.
  • Power footplate The footplate can be folded away when not in use, this can be upgraded to a power folding footplate on some models to save the user from bending down.

There are a few other upgrades that are unique the certain models and many brands have multiple color choices to help match your decor.

How much does a used stair lift cost?

A used stair lift is a great option if you are on a tight budget.  Pre owned straight stair lifts range from $2,600 to $3,500 which is approximately a 25% saving when compared to a new unit.  Our used stairlifts are very lightly used and have been fully inspected and tested, additionally they come with a 12 month service warranty!

If your staircase has turns, winder steps or intermediate landings, you may have difficulty finding a pre owned lift as these lifts are custom built.  Florida Home Access does not offer pre owned curved stair lifts.
