Your Acorn stairlift price depends on a number of different factors. Acorn stairlifts are not only customized for your stairs, but they are customized for your unique home and needs. The price is influenced by a variety of factors, which are assessed by our trained appraisers before they provide you with an accurate, written offer. These include:
- Your personal requirements
- Aid and assistance
- The configuration of your stairs
- The location/environment surrounding your stairs

Depending on the structure of your stairs and home, it may vary
in the amount of time for the
Acorn stairlift model's installation
.
Acorn knows how valuable your time is, so we wouldn't dare waste
it. When your
straight stairlift
is made to fit the exact dimensions of your home, it can take
less than an hour to install. Although stairlifts with more
bends, twists, and curves may take a bit longer to install, here
at Acorn, we are known for our quick, efficient, and unmatched
service. No matter the staircase, installation will always be as
fast as possible to get you and your lift up and running.
Before the Acorn installer leaves your home, they will always
ensure that the stairlift has been extensively tested.
Furthermore, they will demonstrate all of the stairlift's
functions to you -- this ensures that you are absolutely
satisfied with their service and are familiar with the lift's
operation. We are not rude house guests. Acorn makes sure to
leave the home as clean and tidy as it was before.
An Acorn straight stairlift works with the innovative technology of our rail and carriage system, ensuring a smooth ride. Acorn stairlifts are also powered by rechargeable batteries that charge automatically, ensuring a dependable lift that will still operate in the event of a power outage.
We can say that the stairlift is easy to use with great confidence because Acorn Stairlifts is the only stairlift company in the world to earn the "Ease-of-use Commendation" from the Arthritis Foundation. With Acorn's common-sense controls and remote control that includes only two self-explaining buttons, our stairlift's simple and straightforward design allows everyone to use it with ease.
The stairlift fits on 99% of staircases, so it is extremely likely that it will fit on yours as well. However, if you have any doubts, call Acorn Stairlifts for a free, no-obligation survey today to talk more with our expert surveyors about installing one of our lifts in your home.
The stairlift will look sleek and subtle, blending seamlessly into your home. Our lift is designed so that it won't detract from the style of your home or draw any unwanted attention.
Once the stairlift is installed, there should be plenty of room for other people to use the staircase. The rail installation only requires 20cm, and the lift itself requires about 33cm (upfolded). However, any concerns you have will be addressed by Acorn's knowledgeable surveyors during your free, no obligation home survey.
On average, it will take anywhere from 10 to 20 days for your stairlift to be delivered. However, depending on different factors such as the type of stairlift or area of installation in your home, delivery times will vary. Because Acorn stairlifts are manufactured in-house, we pride ourselves in being one of the speediest stairlift companies.
Once you get your Acorn stairlift, you automatically receive the 12-month Manufacturer's Guarantee, which provides you with two annual visits, free of charge. The coverage department will contact you about further after-care options for when your manufacturer coverage expires.
Acorn Stairlifts are battery operated and will continue to work
in the event of a power failure. In fact, Acorn pioneered the use
of DC power supplies (batteries) in stairlifts.
When designing the Acorn 130 Stairlift, its practical features
were chosen because of the inherent safety benefits and ability
to operate normally during a power failure. All Acorn Stairlifts
competitors have followed suit and are now also offering a
battery-powered product. The advantages of this technology end
your nightmares of being stuck on the stairs!
All Acorn Stairlifts have been designed to ease difficulties encountered in a wide variety of disabilities. Why not contact us today to discuss your particular circumstances and the options available?

After discussing your needs, the Acorn assessor will give you
the run down on the different models of stairlifts that we
offer, as well as the one they recommend that best fits your
home.
Acorn assessors will then collect the exact measurements of
your stairs, as well as evaluate any additional factors of your
home that could affect installation. After thoroughly examining
every aspect of your staircase, our assessor will sit down with
you to discuss your personal and precise, FREE, no obligation
quote. It is then entirely up to you to decide whether you want

The Acorn stairlift attaches to your stairs, not the wall, so
disruption to your home is minimized. There are no unsightly
repairs that will compromise your home's style or structure.
Acorn Stairlifts' technicians install, test, and demonstrate how
your stairlift works for you, leaving your home as clean as they
found it.
Your Acorn Stairlifts purchase comes with a full 12-month
coverage. In the event that any component fails due to a
manufacturing defect during the first year, Acorn will send one

stairlift to full-operating condition, free of charge.
Once that first year is over, we offer a range of different
coverage options that meet your budget to continue receiving our
stellar, stairlift service. Remember, although an Acorn stairlift
is an extremely reliable piece of equipment, no product is immune
to the wear and tear that comes with daily use. Acorn stairlifts
are manufactured to hold up to the world's most stringent
standards, even exceeding the requirements with our innovative
engineering and unmatchable service. This coverage plan
guarantees the preservation of your stairlift's safety,
reliability and technical excellence. Why not contact us today
and let us advise you on the best coverage options for your
needs?
Every staircase is different. During a home assessment, an Acorn adviser evaluates staircase
measurements, turns, landings, and potential obstructions to determine a suitable
installation. They can also explain available configurations and pricing options based on
your home and budget.
Acorn Stairlifts offers solutions for straight, curved, and narrow staircases. The Acorn 130
straight stairlift requires approximately 26 inches of staircase width, while the Acorn 180
curved stairlift requires approximately 27.5 inches. Both models feature folding seats and
footrests to help preserve space when not in use.
Acorn does not buy back unwanted stairlifts. We aim to guide and assist you through the process of selling your lift privately. This method could give you the best return for your stairlift.
