Choosing the right product for your project is a delicate and unique process. It requires a clear understanding of factors that are uniquely important to you. Some of these deciding factors are available space, door configuration, style preference, capacity and of course, budget. At Easy Lifts, our mission is to help you understand these factors and guide you to the best options—all at no cost to you. 

Your lift, like your home, is a valuable asset that requires preventive maintenance to ensure safety and reliability. To keep you and your family at zero risk, consider scheduling a couple of service appointments per year at least; including  maintenance of safety mechanisms. The total cost of ownership will depend on the technology used, the location and the frequency of lift usage.

Home lifts come in various shapes and sizes. If your lift needs to accommodate a wheelchair, this will be determined early in the process. We will ensure your wheelchair fits through the door on every level, fits inside the cabin, and moves in and out of the lift smoothly. EASY Lifts will present manufacturer options specifically tailored to your needs, ensuring you can choose confidently and your provider understands exactly what to deliver and how.

Each of these technologies will have its own set of pros and cons. Selecting the right lift technology for your home will depend on various factors such as practicality, design, budget, and cost of ownership. Equally important is considering the origin of the technologies and the availability of reliable support when needed the most. EASY Lifts aims to reduce these complexities for you.

Installing a lift might negatively impact your home’s value if it’s placed in a way that disrupts its natural flow and functionality. Avoid mistakes like cutting off thoroughfares, creating awkward door openings, obstructing visual appeal, blocking light, or sacrificing bedrooms. An EASY Lifts professional with the right measuring tools, spatial awareness, and architectural sense can make a significant difference.

Platform lifts are ideal for optimising cabin space, especially when your overall lift space is limited. Paired with sufficiently wide automatic doors, they offer practicality. Conversely, if your home already has a lift shaft in place, an enclosed cabin becomes a superior choice for practical reasons. Many such factors exist to guide you toward the best alternative for your needs.

At a minimum, your lift should include an always on cabin phone, in the case of smaller cabins a folding seat, battery backup, ventilation, emergency lights, and the ability to contact a technician 24/7 to be rescued. Lastly, your lift of choice must comply with the Australian building code (AS1735).

Always ensure you request clear instructions from your builder to prepare your site. This should encompass safety measures and any necessary modifications for lift installation. Additionally, allocate sufficient storage and working space for your installer, ensuring seamless access from storage to installation point. Prioritize the protection of your home and request post-installation cleaning. Coordination between your builder, installer, and equipment delivery is key. Finally, ensure quality control by the manufacturer, verifying the inclusion of all lift components, and provide product manuals and installation support for your installer.
