A stairlift may look like it requires a lot of electricity to run, but compared to other household electrical items you may be surprised at the efficiency of modern units.
We know that energy costs are a big concern at the moment, so it’s a completely valid question to ask how much a stairlift installation would impact your energy bills.
The good news is that modern stairlifts are incredibly energy efficient, using very little electricity to operate.
How many watts of electricity does a stairlift use?
The average modern stairlift uses only around 24-35 watts of energy per hour, which is less than most common household appliances. For example, a flat-screen TV uses around 210 watts per hour, while a tumble dryer uses around £170 of electricity annually. In fact, using a stairlift is comparable to any other household appliance in terms of energy consumption.
One reason why modern stairlifts use so little electricity is due to advancements in technology. Manufacturers have developed efficient motors that use less power, and the batteries that power these motors have also become more efficient. Additionally, some models of stairlifts have been designed to switch off automatically when not in use, further reducing their energy consumption.
The energy efficiency of modern stairlifts is not only good for the environment, but it can also save users money on their energy bills. In the UK, the cost of electricity has been rising steadily in recent years, and we understand how important it is to find ways to reduce energy consumption wherever possible.
