The Acorn Stairlift FAQ of the Week
Do Stairlifts Use a Lot of Electricity?
Absolutely not! An Acorn stairlift doesn't use a lot of electricity at all.
In fact, it typically uses the same amount of electricity as a small television on stand-by.
To put this into perspective, an Acorn stairlift approximately uses 35 kWh per year for a curved stairlift and 23 kWh per year for a straight stairlift.
At Acorn Stairlifts, we aim to help you reach new heights...not your power bills.
Acorn Stairlifts Still Operate During a Power Outage
Not only does an Acorn stairlift not use a lot of electricity, but it also possesses the unique “power” of continuing to operate, even during a power outage.
How Are Acorn Stairlifts Able to Do This?
Early, less technologically advanced stairlifts used to draw power directly from the main source—That is until Acorn pioneered the use of powerful rechargeable batteries located in the stairlift carriage.
Whenever your stairlift is parked at one of the charging stations, located on both the top and bottom of the stairs, your lift is automatically recharging.
This means our stairlifts will still operate, even if there’s a power cut or if a safety ‘trip switch’ is activated in your fuse box.
Because the source of power comes from the batteries and not the main supply, your Acorn stairlift will keep running, and you’ll never be stranded on the stairs.
These batteries make our stairlifts very economical to run, only drawing main power to ‘top up’ the batteries as needed.
