Stairlift Installation in Philadelphia, PA

In addition to selling mobility equipment, we specialize in high-quality, factory-certified stairlift installation in Philadelphia, PA. During an in-home consultation, our mobility specialists assess your staircase, discuss your unique mobility needs, and recommend the best stairlift model for your home. Once you’ve selected an option, we’ll order the equipment and schedule a date for installation.

On the big day, we will ensure your equipment is mounted securely and operates according to manufacturer specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions About Stairlifts

How much does a stairlift cost in Philadelphia?

The cost of a stairlift depends primarily on the layout of your staircase. For a standard, straight staircase in the Philadelphia area, a new stairlift typically ranges from $2,800 to $8,000, which includes professional installation and a service warranty. Because curved stairlifts require custom-fabricated rails to fit specific turns or intermediate landings, they start around $11,000 to $13,000 and can increase based on complexity. Outdoor options generally cost between $4,000 and $12,000.

Does Medicare or private health insurance cover the cost of a stairlift?

In most cases, standard Medicare and private health insurance policies do not cover the purchase or installation of a stairlift, as they are classified as home modifications rather than durable medical equipment.

However, financing options, long-term care insurance, and state-specific assistance programs (such as Pennsylvania’s Community HealthChoices waiver or the Philadelphia Housing Development Corporation’s modification programs) may provide coverage or financial support if medical necessity is documented.

Can I rent a stairlift instead of buying one?

Yes! If you are recovering from a temporary injury, hosting a relative with limited mobility, or living in a short-term residence, renting is a highly cost-effective solution. As a full-service stairlift company in Philadelphia and New Jersey, we offer flexible short- and long-term rental programs for straight stairlifts, with monthly fees depending on the model and your specific requirements.

How long does it take to professionally install a stairlift?

For standard straight staircases, the installation is incredibly efficient and is usually completed in just 2 to 4 hours. Custom curved stairlifts take a bit longer to install due to the specialized rail configuration, but our certified technicians can still complete the setup within a single day once the custom rail has been manufactured.

What happens to the stairlift if there is a power outage?

You won’t be stranded! Residential stairlifts run on a continuous battery system that automatically recharges whenever the chair is parked at the top or bottom charging stations. If your home loses power during a storm or local blackout, the onboard batteries will still have enough power to safely carry you up and down the stairs multiple times.

Will the stairlift block the stairs for other family members?

No. Every model we install is designed with space-saving efficiency in mind. For example, when the stairlift is not in use, the seat, armrests, and footrest easily fold up flat against the wall. This leaves plenty of clear, safe foot traffic space on the steps and landings for everyone else in the household to walk comfortably.
