Homelift Features Included in the Price
Every Taunton homelift comes with a set of features as standard that ensure your comfort and safety as you travel between floors. While some features are essential for lift operations, others provide the pleasant touch that makes your Taunton a favourite appliance in your home.
Every Taunton homelift is fitted with a set of safety features as standard that ensure the safety of everyone in your home, whether inside or outside the lift. The safety features included in your homelift price include:
- An emergency stop feature that is activated if any object is placed in the lift’s path.

- Fall arrest detection, ensuring a brake is applied if the lift suddenly speeds up.
- Sensors to detect if the lift is overloaded.
- An automatically-locking lift car door that does not open while the lift is travelling.
Comfort Features
While staying safe in your lift is paramount, it’s also important you feel comfortable. As such, your Taunton homelift is fitted with the following features, as standard, for your comfort:
- A Raspberry Pi Screen that can be loaded with family pictures to make your journey all the more pleasant, as well as controlling light colour changes, displaying trip completed data, controlling the direction of travel, and presenting fault diagnosis (for example, location of obstructions).
- Lighting that can be adapted to fit your mood or even the season, giving your lift character and lighting up your journey.
- Wifi connectivity allows lift usage to be monitored remotely, both by family members for peace of mind and by homelift technicians for maintenance purposes.
- A grab rail on the inside to ensure stability.
- Step-free access onto the lift, ensuring easy access.
Factors that May Impact Homelift Prices
While the base price of a Taunton homelift covers most of what you’ll need, sometimes the price can be affected by factors out of our control, the main one of which is installation complexity. Every home is different, and while a homelift requires very little space and no structural modifications in itself, any substantial changes to your home will impact the cost of installing one.
How Much Does a Taunton Homelift Cost to Run?
Powered by a standard, dedicated 220v wall plug, your lift will require about as much electricity as a washing machine to run under normal use.
Most companies recommend annual maintenance for their homelifts, but here at Liberation Homelifts, we tailor your lift maintenance to how much you use it. Every lift has Wi-Fi connectivity, which allows for remote monitoring of lift usage. This allows for maintenance to be scheduled based on actual trips taken, ensuring you only pay for maintenance when your lift needs it.
A Homelift Vs Other Options
While it’s essential to consider the price of a homelift, it is almost as crucial to consider the – financial and emotional – cost of the alternatives. These may include moving to a single-storey home, which may mean leaving behind cherished memories and possibly even putting down roots somewhere entirely different or opting for another mobility device. From stairlifts to grab bars, cheaper options are available to help you navigate your stairs, but before you consider these alternatives, ask yourself:
- Will you want to use this solution to get around your home?
- Will this solution make you feel absolutely safe in your home?
- Will this solution add to or take away from the value of your home?
- Will this solution meet your needs for the foreseeable future and beyond?
Once you have answered these questions, you can move ahead with planning for the device to meet your needs, ensuring that you are able to use your entire home safely and comfortably for many years to come.
Investing in Your Home’s Future
A homelift is more than just a convenience; it’s an investment in your home’s future – one that many people describe as “priceless” for their peace of mind and comfort. Whether you’re planning to age in place, accommodate a family member with mobility challenges, or simply add value to your property, a homelift offers numerous benefits.
