Know who you will call after installation.
Ask which company will install the lift and which company will handle faults. Those may not be the same business. Confirm that the service team covers your actual St. Matthews address and the exact model being proposed.
Compare labor, call-out, travel, battery and parts terms separately. A long component warranty does not necessarily pay for a technician's visit. Ask about normal service hours and what help is available outside them without assuming round-the-clock attendance.
Before handover, request a demonstration, written user instructions and the maintenance schedule. Keep the model and serial number with the service contact. If a family member helps manage appointments, agree how they can participate with your permission.
Three questions for your St. Matthews comparison
- Who services this model at my address?
- Which visit and labor costs are outside the warranty?
- What written handover and maintenance instructions will I receive?
Before requesting an assessment
Describe the route and the rooms you want to reach. Give your actual KY address and ask the provider to confirm service there. The person who will use the chair should be involved in a demonstration and the final choice of seat, controls and stopping positions.
If you are helping someone else, use the printable checklist together. You do not need to choose a model before discussing the route, but the installer needs measurements before confirming fit.
A useful next step
Read the installation and aftercare guide for a closer look at this decision. Compare an itemized total and named support arrangements before placing an order.
