Hi, My elderly parents house was built in the early 50's. Standard 3bed house. Its never had a complete re-wire, therefore still has the original wiring/colouring. As far as i'm aware, they have never had any trouble with the electrics.
My mother needs a stairlift installed, and she was advised that she needs to have the whole house completely re-wired for this! as the stairlift will be AC operated... Obviously at her age, she doesnt need the upheaval of the mess/disruption involved.
My question is, if she opted for a Battery operated stairlift, would she still need to have the house re-wired.
I am aware for the battery to be charged, would still be opertated in part from the electrics, however, surely it wouldnt need a complete re-wire.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thankyou
