What happens after my lift is installed?

Once you have chosen your lift, had a home assessment and planned the installation of your new mobility aid, which will take two to five days, you’ll be free to use your new lift to help you around your home and between floors. But what happens once your lift is installed, and you need repairs or want to get your lift maintained? Our team aren’t just available when your lift is being installed; we offer a service to all of our customers even after we have finished the work in your home.

After the installation of your lift, your friendly customer service team will give you a call to make sure you are satisfied with your lift and the service that you received, and this will be your opportunity to tell us if there is anything that you aren’t happy with or want to change.

How much warranty does my lift have?

Our warranty policy means that you’re covered, even after the installation of your life, as your Age Co Homelift comes with a 12-month warranty for all parts and labour. Our warranty offers you the peace of mind, that should break, be faulty or go wrong with your life, you are totally covered, and the problem will be rectified free of charge. However, after 12 months, the warranty will not cover any repairs, and servicing, or you can take our extended warranty policy; you can ask one of our advisors to give you more information about the details and prices for this.

How often should my lift be serviced?

In order to keep your home lift in the best working order, we recommend it undergoes an annual service. Our 12-month warranty includes one free service to ensure it operates efficiently. After this, for peace of mind, we offer a range of service contracts designed to give the correct level of maintenance, provide servicing and prevent or cover unexpected breakdowns. Servicing your home lift will hopefully eradicate the possibility of any breakdowns that will mean you have to be without your lift for a length of time.
