How Do La-Z-Boy Power Recliners Get Power?
Interestingly enough, one of the most common questions we get about our La-Z-Boy power recliners is how they get power. Well, La-Z-Boy power recliners are powered by a motor connected to a power supply that plugs into an AC outlet.
The power supply ensures that your recliner has the necessary energy to operate smoothly. It’s important to note that using an extension cord, adapter, or surge protector with your power recliner is not recommended, as it can affect the performance and safety of the chair.
How Much Energy Does a Power Recliner Use?
The energy consumption of a La-Z-Boy power recliner is minimal. The input is typically between 100V-240V, and the output is 29V. The duty cycle for the motor is designed to operate efficiently, meaning your energy costs are likely to be very low—ranging from just a few pennies to $5 per month, depending on usage.
Do Power Recliners Have to Be Plugged In?
Yes, La-Z-Boy power recliners need to be plugged into a power outlet to function.
Although this is the case for regular power recliners, La-Z-Boy does offer a cordless battery pack option. This battery pack allows you to use the recliner without cords, offering about five days of cordless operation on a full charge. This flexibility means you can place your recliner anywhere in your home, even in spaces without convenient access to power outlets.
At La-Z-Boy, a Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery Pack costs $300.
How to Hide Power Recliner Cords?
One of the more annoying aspects of a power recliner in general is its power cord. Some believe that the cord does not look nice and would rather hide it so their living room looks better. So how can you hide something so vital for a power recliner?
Well, Power recliner cords can be easily concealed using a few simple strategies. One option is to run the cords under an area rug or through a wire hiding box. If you’re planning a renovation or new build, consider installing floor outlets where your power recliner will be placed. Alternatively, the aforementioned battery pack can be used to eliminate visible cords.
How Long Will the Recliner Motor Last?
The longevity of a La-Z-Boy recliner motor can range between 10 and 20 years, depending on how often it is used and how well it is maintained. Regular use and proper care will help ensure that your recliner remains a comfortable and functional part of your home for many years.
