Ask for written limits, not a weather promise.
Tell the assessor which steps and entrance you use. Have the provider confirm that the proposed model, rail and electrical arrangement are suitable for the actual setting.
Ask for operating limits, cover instructions and care responsibilities in writing. Discuss keeping the approach and landings usable; equipment designed for outside still needs the specified maintenance.
Include site preparation, installation and local service in your Port Whitby comparison. The outdoor photograph on this site is an equipment example from Australia, not evidence of a local installation or a Canadian weather guarantee.
Three questions for your Port Whitby comparison
- What operating limits apply to this exact model?
- Who looks after the cover and surrounding route?
- Which site work and service visits are included?
Before requesting an assessment
Describe the route and the rooms you want to reach. Give your actual ON address and ask the provider to confirm service there. The person who will use the chair should be involved in a demonstration and the final choice of seat, controls and stopping positions.
If you are helping someone else, use the printable checklist together. You do not need to choose a model before discussing the route, but the installer needs measurements before confirming fit.
