Why You Shouldn’t Ignore a Faulty Garage Door Opener

Without a functioning opener, you may be forced to manually open and close your garage door, which can be a hassle and time-consuming. This can be especially problematic during inclement weather, when you may not want to expose yourself to the elements.

A broken garage door opener can also lead to additional wear and tear on your garage door, springs and cables, potentially causing further damage and the need for more costly repairs down the line.

Types of Garage Door Openers

With many types of garage door openers on the market, it can be difficult to choose the right one for your needs. Here are the most common types of garage door openers:

Chain Drive Garage Door Openers

These are the most common and affordable type of garage door opener. They use a metal chain to pull the door up and down, making them sturdy and reliable. However, they can be quite noisy, which may be a concern for homeowners who have bedrooms located near the garage.

Belt Drive Garage Door Openers

These openers use a rubber belt instead of a chain, making them much quieter than chain drive openers. They are a great option for homeowners who have living spaces located above or near their garages. While they are more expensive than chain drive openers, their quiet operation makes them worth the investment.

Screw Drive Garage Door Openers

These openers use a threaded steel rod to lift and lower the garage door. They are known for their reliability and require very little maintenance. However, they can be quite noisy and are not recommended for heavy garage doors.

Jackshaft Garage Door Openers

These openers are mounted to the wall beside the garage door instead of the ceiling, freeing up ceiling space for storage or other purposes. They are quiet, reliable, and energy-efficient, making them a popular option for homeowners who want a modern and space-saving solution.

How to choose the right garage door opener for your home

Choosing the right garage door opener is important for the safety and functionality of your garage door. Here are some factors to consider when selecting a garage door opener:

Consider the Type of Drive System

There are four main types of drive systems for garage door openers: chain drive, belt drive, screw drive, and jackshaft. Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages, so it's important to consider which one will work best for your particular garage door and living situation.

Look for Safety Features

Look for models that come with safety features such as sensors that can detect obstructions and stop the door from closing, as well as automatic reverse mechanisms that will reverse the door if it encounters an obstruction while closing.

Consider the Noise Level

The noise level of a garage door opener can be a major concern, especially if you have living spaces located near the garage. Chain drive openers are generally the loudest, while belt drive and jackshaft openers are quieter. If noise is a concern, consider investing in a quieter model.

Check for Compatibility

Make sure that the garage door opener you choose is compatible with your garage door. This includes the weight and size, as well as the type of door, such as sectional or tilt-up. Choosing an opener that is not compatible with your door can result in damage to both the opener and the door.

Our expert technicians can guide you through the process of selecting the right garage door opener for your needs and ensure that it is installed safely and efficiently.

FAQ

What is the best garage opener on the market?

The best garage door opener for you will depend on various factors, including the size and weight of your garage door, your budget and your personal preferences. However, some popular brands include Chamberlain, LiftMaster, and Genie.

What are different types of garage door openers?

There are three main types of garage door openers: chain drive, belt drive, and screw drive. Chain drive openers are the most common and use a metal chain to operate the door. Belt drive openers use a rubber belt to operate the door and are quieter than chain drive openers. Screw drive openers use a threaded steel rod to move the door and are ideal for heavy garage doors.

How long do garage door openers last?

The lifespan of a garage door opener can vary depending on usage, maintenance, and the quality of the unit. However, most garage door openers last between 10-15 years on average.

Do garage door openers use a lot of electricity?

Garage door openers are not a significant source of electricity usage in most households. On average, a garage door opener uses about 1-2 kilowatt-hours of electricity per month.

How many times should a garage door be opened a day?

The number of times a garage door is opened per day will depend on the individual household's needs. However, most garage door openers are designed to handle up to 10-15 cycles per day.

Do garage door openers work when power is out?

Most garage door openers require electricity to operate, so they will not work during a power outage. However, some newer models have battery backup systems that allow them to function during a power outage. It is important to check the features of your specific garage door opener to see if it has a battery backup system.
