Stair Lift Rental in Harrisburg, PA

Who rents a stairlift in Harrisburg

Most of our Harrisburg rentals are short-term: a hip or knee replacement at UPMC Harrisburg or Penn State Health Holy Spirit, a heart surgery recovery, a broken ankle, or a discharge from the Penn State Health Rehabilitation Hospital in Hummelstown with orders to avoid stairs for twelve weeks. The bedrooms and the only full bath are upstairs in most Harrisburg homes, from the Midtown and Uptown rowhomes to the Cape Cods in Paxtang and the split-levels of Colonial Park and Linglestown, and the alternative to a rental is a bed in the dining room.

The second group is families with a parent staying for a season or moving in while a longer plan comes together. The third is people who are not sure yet whether they will buy, move, or add a first-floor bedroom; renting for a year costs less than guessing wrong. Some of those renters keep the lift for years and are happy to.

What you get and what it costs

The rental unit is a straight Savaria K2 from our fleet, rated 350 lb, installed exactly like a purchased lift: the rail cut for your staircase, the seat set for the rider, two remotes, and a walkthrough. It charges continuously along the rail and runs through a power outage. Repairs are covered for the entire rental.

The price is fixed and the same for every Harrisburg home: $845 paid once for installation and removal, plus $450 for the first three months, so $1,295 is due when you sign. From month four it is $150 a month, cancel with two weeks notice. A mileage charge applies beyond 30 miles of our service area, which Harrisburg is well inside. Other companies in the market list rentals without a price; ours is on the stairlift rental page and here, so you can compare before you call.

Rental, used, or new: which fits a Harrisburg home

Renting is right when the need is likely under two years or uncertain. A certified pre-owned stairlift costs more up front but is yours, with a 3 month service warranty, and makes sense when the stairs will be a long-term concern. A new K2 is the best long-term value for daily use over many years, and financing can spread it out. We will tell you which one we would choose for your situation, and if you rent and later decide to keep a lift, we quote a purchase price for that unit or for a new one and talk about how the rent you have paid factors in. Curved staircases cannot be rented, because a curved rail is built for one staircase; for a landing with a turn we can sometimes rent two straight lifts. Our blog post on whether you can rent a stairlift covers the rest.

How a Harrisburg rental goes

Call or send the form. We confirm a rental unit is available and set up a quick visit to measure, usually within a few days; Harrisburg is fifteen minutes from our shop in Etters. You sign and pay the $1,295, and we schedule installation, typically within one to two weeks of the first call and sooner when a discharge date is fixed. Installation takes about three hours and the rider uses the lift that day. When the need ends, give two weeks notice and we remove it in under an hour. Nothing to return, nothing to clean up.

Drive time and scheduling

Harrisburg is about 15 minutes from our shop in Etters, PA. We group visits by area, so a free consultation in Harrisburg is usually available within a few days, and a rental stairlift is usually installed within one to two weeks of the first call. Nearby towns we cover from the same route: Camp Hill, Mechanicsburg, Hummelstown, Hershey, Linglestown, Colonial Park, Steelton.
