Finding a stairlift tech in your neighborhood

When your lift breaks down you feel like you are trapped on one floor of your house. I know how frustrating that is. If you are searching for stairlift repair near you the best thing you can do is have your model number ready before you call anyone. Look under the seat or on the rail for a silver sticker.

Troubleshooting the beeps and lights

Most modern lifts have a diagnostic display. It is usually a little LED screen that shows a number or a letter. If it says 0 it usually means it is working fine but maybe the key is off. If it shows a 4 or a 5 it might mean there is an issue with the charging. Tell this code to the repair shop over the phone. A good honest tech might be able to tell you how to fix it yourself without coming out.

Maintenance to prevent repairs

You should be cleaning your rail once a month. Use a dry cloth to wipe off the dust. Do not use heavy grease or WD-40 unless the manual says so because it just attracts dirt and hair that will gunk up the rollers.

* Check the swivel seat lock to make sure it is clicking into place.
* Listen for any new squeaks or grinding sounds.
* Keep the area at the bottom of the stairs clear of rugs or shoes.
