Frequently Asked Questions

Q:  Which is better for a split-landing staircase, a curved lift or two straight lifts?   
                                                                                 
A:  It depends on the user and the layout of the staircase.  If the user has good balance and some mobility, they will probably save some money buying two straight stair lifts at least in the short run.  If mobility becomes more difficult however, they may end up replacing with a curved lift anyway.
Q:  Are curved stair lifts more expensive than straight stair lifts?

A:  Yes.  Curved rail stair lifts typically at least double the price of straight stair lifts.
Q:  Will I have to modify my stairs or reinforce the walls?

A:  Almost never.  The rails attach to the stair treads, not the walls.  Occasionally we have to move or remove a hand-rail.
Q:  Do I have to hire an electrician to run power?

A:  Rarely.  Our lifts are battery powered.  The rail has a built-in charging system that can usually plug into a nearby standard outlet.
Q:  Do I have to hire an electrician to run power?

A:  Rarely.  Our lifts are battery powered.  The rail has a built-in charging system that can usually plug into a nearby standard outlet.
Q:  Where are your straight stair lifts made?

A:  We mainly sell 1 of stair lifts.  Bruno is an American stair lift company with all lifts being made in Wisconsin.  95%+ of our straight stair lift sales are now Brunos. 
Q:  Can I buy just the stair lift from you and do the installation myself, or have my son-in-law do it?

A:  No.  No matter how talented or handy your son-in-law is, our name and reputation is riding on that stair lift along with you or your loved one, and we are stair lift experts!  We take your safety seriously.

Q:  Who does your installations, and who do I call for repair/service?


A:   We do all of our installations and repair/service.  Our excellent customer service is what sets us apart from the competition.

Q:  What do you call these things?  Stair lift, stair-lift, or what?

A:  Good question.  We have our customers refer to them as stair lifts, stairway chair lifts, stair-chairs, stair-glides, stair elevators, wecolators, and the list goes on.  We generally refer to them as stair lifts.
