Wind’s howling. Rain’s sideways. And then… click. The whole house goes dark. 🌩️
If you’ve lived through more than one Long Island fall, you know that moment. So here’s a question we hear a lot: what happens to a stairlift when the power goes out?
Short answer: it keeps going. ⚡
Acorn stairlifts run on rechargeable batteries built right into the chair. They top themselves up while the lift is parked, so when the power cuts out, the lift doesn’t. Nobody’s stuck halfway up the stairs waiting on the utility trucks.
One small habit makes a big difference: always park it where it charges, so it’s full when you need it most.
Storm season is here. If your stairlift battery hasn’t been looked at in a while, deal with it now, not mid nor’easter. Give us a call. Pete picks up. 📞
