For the elderly and people with disabilities or mobility issues, two-story homes can be a nightmare without a working lift.<\/p>\n<p>If your lift is broken, the first thing you should do is call the manufacturer to find out if it\u2019s still under warranty. Never pay for a repair before checking. However, if the lift is no longer covered, you may find that the original manufacturer\u2019s repair prices are not the best value. It\u2019s always better to shop around to compare prices. <\/p>\n<h4>Common Problems With Chair Lifts &#13;<br \/>\n  &#13;<br \/>\n<\/h4>\n<p>You\u2019d be surprised at how often a broken chair lift is just a minor problem. In some cases, people simply don\u2019t realize the key has been switched off. In other cases, a blown fuse is to blame. Before you call a repair service and pay $150 to $200 for the visit, make sure to check all switches and fuses. You may also want to try resetting the chair. Some chairs have devices that act as their own circuit breakers. <\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve tried all of that and the lift still doesn\u2019t work, you may be experiencing one of the following common problems: <\/p>\n<ul>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>\t<strong>Snapped springs<\/strong> &#8211; According to Dr. Neil Sterling of the Castle Comfort Group, if your chair has a swivel seat, you should check to make sure it is set in the traveling position using the seat paddles. If they won\u2019t spring back up after the seat is in proper position, you\u2019re likely dealing with snapped springs. That\u2019s a problem that is going to require professional repair. <\/li>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<li>\t<strong>Broken joystick<\/strong> &#8211; This is an easy problem to test. If the seat works using a wall-mounted switch or remote, you know the joystick is the problem. This also requires professional repair in most cases. &#13;\n<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>\t<strong>Safety edges<\/strong> &#8211; Dr. Sterling advises lift owners to check all the built-in safety edge switches if there\u2019s no other obvious reason the lift won\u2019t work. This often causes the lift to move up but not down and vice versa. There are usually five switches, located on the carriage edges and the footplate. &#13;\n<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>\t<strong>Track hinge out of position<\/strong> &#8211; This is a common problem after new flooring has been installed. First, make sure there is nothing obstructing the rail. If not, call in a professional to assess and repair the problem. <\/li>\n<p>&#13;\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you\u2019re handy, or if you have a close friend or family member who can help, you might be able to do some or all of the repairs yourself. Spare parts are readily available online. However, make sure to check the terms of your warranty first. DIY repairs might void some or all of your warranty coverage. <\/p>\n<h4>The Average Cost of Fixing a Stair Lift&#13;<br \/>\n  &#13;<br \/>\n<\/h4>\n<p>In most cases, a technician will charge anywhere from <strong>$100 to $400<\/strong> just to come out and asses the problem. Labor usually runs <strong>$50 to $100 an hour<\/strong>. From there, the cost depends on what\u2019s wrong with the lift, the cost of any needed parts and the time it takes to complete the repair. <\/p>\n<p>All totaled, a minor repair might cost <strong>$200 to $500,<\/strong> while a major repair could cost <strong>$1,000 to $1,500<\/strong> or more. You can hire a chair lift manufacturer or an independent appliance repairman to do the work. Keep in mind that manufacturers are often more expensive. Be sure to compare prices and services before making your choice. <\/p>\n<p>Many times, the manufacturer will also try to sell you an extended warranty or maintenance plan when they come out do repairs. These can be purchased even years after the lift was installed. The average four-year plan, which covers most but not all types of repairs, will run you anywhere from <strong>$1,000 to $2,000<\/strong>. If you\u2019re considering one of these, use caution. They are not always a good value. Be particularly leery if the company tries to pressure you or use scare tactics. <\/p>\n<p class=\"author\"><strong>Author:<\/strong> Ashley Smith<\/p>\n<p>                <!-- \n\n<h3 class=\"ctalower\">Find Local Chair Lift Companies Who Will Compete for Your Business<\/h3>\n\n\n                <iframe class=\"homeadvisor\"  height=\"1500\" border=\"0\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.homeadvisor.com\/ext\/14857375?gatc=KompareItIframe\" align=\"top\" marginwidth=\"2\" marginheight=\"2\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>--><!--\n\n<div id=\"disqus_thread\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<noscript>Please enable JavaScript to view the comments powered by Disqus.<\/noscript>-->\n              <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you have a staircase chair lift installed in your home, chances are it\u2019s a lifeline for you or a member of your family.
