Electric Stair Lifts
I find it harder to climb the stairs in my 2 story house and I was thinking about these electric stair lifts I see advertising on TV.
Does anyone has experience with these stair lifts?

Just that you usually contact a home health care business to purchase and install them. They require service after the sale, since most have a battery backup.

My wife and I will seriously consider one when we get to the point that climbing is getting to be a problem. But what are the typical "service" required? Most companies offer a one year service with their warranty. For all intents and purposes is not much different that a garage door opener. And they don't need much maintenance.

I had them priced for my home. Brand that is advertised on TV and they were 3500$ per each set of steps. Did not matter how many steps just a straight run. Each landing cost more. I think they said full service but I don't remember how long.

Curious to know what a set of steps is.
Is that a continuous run?
We are not quite there yet but have a spark of an idea that I may look into becoming a dealer/installer for these as a retirement job.
As said they are fairly simple but have critical components that keep riders safe.

Thank you guys, just got a feel about them but the cost? didn’t think they will be so expensive. That’s taking advantage like the hearing aids.

Yes..... they are expensive. Many insurance companies will cover them or partially with a doctors script as they are potentially life (and fall) saving.
They are easy to install but not a typical DIY job. I have installed several and moved others. I have two sets in my parents house that will be coming out. They require very little service. The models I've worked on and highly recommend are the Bruno SRE-3000 series. They use two lead acid batteries beneath the chair. They require a receptacle near the track as charge power is sent to the chair via slide contacts on the rail. The chair basically runs on 24vDC battery power. They have an up/down control on the chair as well as wireless remotes for the top and bottom.
