Lift Chair Repair in Tampa, Sarasota, Naples and South Florida

Lift chair repair at home, from Tampa, Sarasota and Naples to Boca Raton and Miami. Chairs stuck in the up position, chairs that will not lift or lower, dead remotes, worn lift motors and failed power supplies on Pride, Golden Technologies, La-Z-Boy, Catnapper and other lift recliners. The $59 service call is credited to the repair you approve.

For a lot of owners the lift chair is how they get up in the morning, so a dead chair is a bigger problem than a broken recliner. Mechanically, though, a lift chair is a power recliner with a stronger motor. It runs on the same short chain of parts: the wall outlet, a power supply, the cables under the seat, a hand control and one or two linear actuators, the motors with a metal tube that push the seat up and forward. Our technicians test that chain with a meter where the chair stands, starting with the cheap parts. Often the fault turns out to be the power supply, a cable or the remote. The lift motor is tested last and replaced only when the test says so.

If the lift chair is stuck right now

1. Plug a lamp into the same outlet. If the lamp stays dark, check the switch on the power strip or the breaker.
2. Find the power supply, the small box on the cord between the wall and the chair. Many have a green light. No light means no power is reaching the chair.
3. Unplug the chair from the wall, then check the plugs under the seat. Cables come apart when the chair is moved or cleaned around, and pets chew them.
4. If the chair has a battery backup (a small box, often holding two 9-volt batteries), put in fresh batteries and press down on the remote with the chair unplugged.
5. Do not push the seat down by hand or sit on it to force it. That bends the lift frame. Leave the chair where it is, unplugged, and call us with the brand from the tag.

Lift chair problems we fix

One motor or two

A single-motor lift chair, sold as two-position or three-position, moves the back and footrest together with one actuator and runs on a two-button remote. A dual-motor chair, usually sold as infinite-position, moves the back and the footrest separately, so it has two actuators, a bigger remote and often a control box under the seat. Some newer chairs add a third motor for a power headrest or lumbar support.

Every actuator carries a label with the maker (Okin, Limoss, Dewert, Kaidi or Timotion), a part number and the stroke length. We order replacement motors by that label, because two motors that look the same can differ in stroke, mounting holes and plug. If you can see the label, text a photo of it to (786) 435-0511 before the visit.

What lift chair repair costs

The service call is $59 and is credited to the repair if you go ahead. You get the price in writing after the diagnosis, before anything is ordered. A remote, a cable or a power supply is the cheaper end of the scale. A new lift motor, or a motor and control box on a dual-motor chair, is the expensive end.

For reference, half of the paid power recliner repairs we finished between August and October 2026 came to $330–$550 with parts and labor. Lift chairs use the same remotes, cables and power supplies. Their lift motors are heavier and cost more, so a lift chair that needs a new motor usually lands near the top of that range or above it.

Repair or replace?

A new lift chair from Pride, Golden or La-Z-Boy usually costs somewhere between $1,000 and $2,500. If the frame is solid and the problem is a motor, a remote or a power supply, repair is the cheaper road by a wide margin. Replacing the chair starts to make sense when the wooden frame is cracked, the steel lift mechanism is bent or rusted through, or the chair uses a control box that is no longer made and has no compatible substitute. We tell you which case you are in on the first visit.

If the chair is still under the maker’s warranty, call the store that sold it first. Warranty repairs go through them. Once the warranty is over, we can take it from there.

Hurricane season and power outages

Without power a lift chair stays where it stopped, and the battery backup is the only way to lower it. That only works with fresh batteries. Before June, replace them and test the backup once with the chair unplugged. Chairs that came without a backup can often take an add-on battery kit; ask the technician during the visit.
