How much electricity does a Rigert stairlift use?

In this article, we explain how much electricity a Rigert stairlift consumes and why it is a cost-effective choice for your home.

Power consumption of a stairlift

Stairlifts are energy-efficient and consume relatively little electricity.

• A straight stairlift typically uses 0.024 to 0.33 kWh per hour.
• A curved stairlift consumes slightly more, ranging between 0.03 and 0.5 kWh per hour.

The exact monthly cost depends on usage frequency and the number of floors. On average, the annual electricity cost for a stairlift is between 10 and 30 CHF, which translates to approximately 0.83 – 2.50 CHF per month for a standard system.

Battery-Powered Efficiency

Our stairlifts are powered by two high-performance batteries, not directly by household electricity. These batteries charge when connected to a standard power outlet. One major advantage of our battery-operated stairlifts is that they continue to function even during a power outage.

Battery Lifespan

Battery lifespan varies depending on usage:

• 1-3 years for frequent use
• 3-5 years for light use

Factors such as user weight, stair incline, and usage frequency can impact battery longevity.

Safety During Power Outages – Your Rigert Stairlift Always Works

Have you ever bought an electrical device only to find it fails during a power outage? Such situations can be critical, especially if you rely on the device for daily use. Reliability is essential for stairlifts.

Imagine getting stuck midway on your staircase in the dark—a scenario that should never happen. At Rigert Stairlifts, we’ve addressed this concern. Our stairlifts are designed to function even during power failures, ensuring that you can always reach your destination safely and without interruption.
