Stairlift | FAQ’s

What's the minimum width for a stair lift?

There are no specific width requirements to install a stairlift. All stairs in Canada are built to specific codes and standard widths, which we know will permit the installation of a stairlift. There are no renovations required; we install the stairlift in the staircase you have to meet your specific requirements. You do not have to remove handrails for a stairlift installation if it is important to keep the handrail. However if the handrail could be moved to the opposite side of the staircase, the stairlift could be installed closer to the wall.

What's the average cost of a stair lift?

Many factors can influence the price of a stairlift such as number of stairs, curves, stopping points, nearby availability of power sources. We will always determine the most suitable, safe and cost effective solution for your specific needs.

Some of the price ranges for stairlifts can be found on our website. You may also qualify for funding.

Do you carry anything similar to acorn chair lifts for stairs?

We represent the most advanced products in the marketplace with excellent warranties.

For example, our straight stairlifts use a friction drive – very unique! Our customers have found it worthwhile to ask us why.

For curved stairlfits, what’s important is our PhotoSurvey system to determine the exact measurements of your staircase. With this system, your stairlift will be a perfect fit and provides a safe, smooth and comfortable ride to where you want to go.

Have a look at both straight and curved stairlifts for various types of settings. We are sure to have a model of stairlift suitable for your needs, safety and budgetary requirements.

Is it possible to install a stair lift myself?

If you have a construction, technical or engineering type background, it’s possible. But there are a number of factors you should consider.

On the YES side:

If it’s a straight stairlift, it’s possible:

If there’s a supplier (manufacturer or dealer) willing to support you with installation questions
If you have technical knowledge, good measurements and understanding of mathematical information to make the necessary calculations to get the right parts. What that means…. the rail length needs to be exactly right!

On the NO side:

It can be complex or confusing
You need the correct tools for cutting and joining the rails
Most stairlfit manufacturers do not provide warranty for self installed stair lifts
If the stairlfit has a breakdown, it could be difficult to find technical support
If it involves a stairlift with turns or curves, it will be challenging to provide the exact measurements to ensure a perfectly smooth and safe ride – if the manufacturer will even accept your order!

We are sure to have a model of stairlift suitable for your needs, safety and budgetary requirements.

My stair lift is beeping. What could be wrong?

Here are some possibilities that could explain why your stair lift is beeping:

Power off, receptacle issues, tripped breaker, charger issues, dislodged from the charge strip, connection issue between charger and rail, not in locked position and therefore can’t use remote, seat not in lock position, obstruction, armrests not in down position, some safety issue that needs tending.

If your stair lift needs service, we’re happy to help. Just give us a call and we’ll do our best to help. If it’s not urgent, you can request more information or a service call here.

My stair lift will not move. What could be the problem?

There are several possibilities for a stairlift to not work:

key is missing or in the incorrect (off) position
armrests in the up position (they need to be in the down position when using the toggle on the armrest)
there’s an obstacle such as a cane or shoe in the way
if it hasn’t been plugged in, it will need to be charged – but the batteries might also need to be replaced if they’re completely drained (dead)
batteries are drained from age or other reasons such as recent power outage.

If these ideas didn’t solve the issue, you may need a service call. Reach out by phone and call 403-460-5438 or request more information about stair lift service here.

How is a stairlift installed?

Stairlifts are attached to the stair treads – not the wall!

When installing a stair lift, we get as close to the wall or railing as possible. We take measurements specific to your stairs or we use our PhotoSurvey system for curved stairlifts. Our curved rail system is manufactured specifically for your staircase.

A stairlift can typically be installed in a half day. We’ll always ensure the stair lift installation meets your needs for safety of the user as well as others in the home.

This review is long overdue. My mother’s walker was damaged on her flight to Calgary and we needed to replace it. We called late n the day last year, on Thursday, June 30, the day before Canada Day and a holiday weekend. Phil came into the store early Saturday morning when the store was closed so that my mother would have a working walket and would be mobile. Excellent quality walket/Rollator, and service that I know I never expected or experienced before. Thank you! I can’t praise Phil and Advantage Home Health Solutions enough.

I needed a sling for a lift for my dad and Phil took the time to explain the various options available. The one that he helped me choose wasn't in stock and I needed it right away, but Phil spent a lot of time and effort on the phone and tracked one down for me. He and his staff are knowledgeable, professional and kind and I highly recommend them.

Advantage Home Health The recent acquisition of a new home also required engaging a company to help me design an accessible entry into the property. I initially called on a firm that claimed to be specialists in this area and their quote was extremely expensive with surprising gaps in accessibility basics. There after I began to search for a company that had experience with lifts and ramps since their practice was more focused on real, not theoretical, design principles. I was so fortunate to find Advanced Home Health. Phil and his team did a beautiful job of installing a sturdy lift in my garage and renovating the exterior access to the house and interior of the garage. Their design works beautifully and enables me to transition my husband very easily from the car to our home. It also looks wonderful! The workmanship demonstrated by the AHH team was first rate and everyone who came to my home was lovely and helpful. As an aside, shortly after our wonderful new entry was installed our movers accidentally bent the small ramp on the lift. Within days Phil was onsite and assured me the damage was not serious and put things back in order. So relieved to have this support. I cannot recommend them enough.

I purchased a folding mobility scooter from Advantage Home Heath and had the best experience. The customer service is outstanding. I had some trouble with my bank authorizating the large purchase and they were so understanding and patient despite having to stay long after closing to get the issue resolved. They also helped me figure out a creative way for me to load the scooter into my vehicle on my own even with my disability. They truly went above and beyond and I so appreciate the care I received. You have gained a lifetime customer. I highly recommend this company for all of your home care needs, they are caring, attentive and very educated on the products that they offer.

We can not say enough about how pleased we are with Advantage and their speedy service at a time of great need. Within two days of our initial contact with Fran and Phil the stair lift we required upon short notice was installed. The installers were very professional, courteous and considerate. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to the whole advantage team.

We had a Simplicity chairlift supplied and installed. There was a intermitant problem with the chair that went beyond the warranty period. Advantage continued to respond and trouble shoot the issue at no cost until they found the root cause which was a defective battery. The truly support their customers and stand behind the products they sell.
