A stairlift works every day: up, down, starting, stopping. Like any mechanical equipment with a motor and batteries, it needs regular attention to stay safe and reliable for many years. In this article we explain why annual maintenance is the best investment you can make in your stairlift, and exactly what an engineer checks.
Why an annual service is worth it
Safety. The safety systems (belt, obstruction sensors, braking) need checking regularly to make sure they respond just as they did on day one.
Baterías. They are the component that takes the most punishment. A degraded battery can leave the stairlift stranded halfway up the stairs; spotting it in time avoids nasty surprises and bigger breakdowns.
Vida útil. A well-maintained stairlift lasts many years longer. The annual service picks up wear on the rail, the rack and the motor before it turns into an expensive repair.
Tranquilidad. Knowing a professional engineer has checked the stairlift gives peace of mind to the user and to their family, especially when the person using it lives alone.
What the engineer checks on a maintenance visit
At Farré Accessibilitat the service covers the batteries and charging system, the motor and drive, the condition of the rail and its fixings, the safety and braking systems, the controls and call stations, plus a general adjustment and lubrication. If we find any worn part, we explain it clearly before touching anything.
