All you need to know about Garage Door openers. Read before buying!

A garage door opener is an item that will overall increase the value of your home. It is vital you know what kinds of openers there are and which one fit your need the best. It’s a great investment, and if chosen properly it will last you years and years. In this blog we’ll discuss a few different qualifications of garage door openers. The first option is choosing between a chain drive or belt drive. A belt drive garage door opener is exactly what the name sounds like,
it’s a opener that pulls up your door on a belt rather than a chain. This automatically reduces a lot of the sound you would hear when opening your garage door. As one could easily assume, a chain drive opener will have more noise because it runs on a chain. Either option is great, but
the belt-drive openers are amazingly quiet!
Next, choose the proper horsepower you need in an opener, this will depend on the kind of garage door you have. A wooden, heavy garage door will need a heavy duty garage door opener. A ¾ hp garage door opener will be a better option for a heavy door. You can check the weight of your door by looking at the tags on the side. If you still don’t know, our technicians
can tell you just by inspecting it. Now, you can use a ¾ rather than s ½ hp garage door opener for a light weight door. This will not hurt the door, if anything, it will extend the life and use of the door because you would be using a heavy duty opener on a door the opener has an easy
time opening and closing.
Lastly, choose a good name garage door opener! By that we mean, choose a trusted brand that manufacters quality products. From our experience, our most recalls come from garage door openers that are made by the brand Genie, it seems like the openers they are producing have decreased in quality over the years.

door companies, so your best bet would be to call a garage door company. Lift master garage door openers are exceptional and have some amazing models on the market right now.

What kind of spring is best for my garage door?

Our garage door technicians are experts at determining what spring will give your door the best run. Our springs are high quality and can last up to 10 years! Heavier doors such as wood garage doors may need extra heavy duty springs, custom made springs, or double springs.
These may take a week-or two to get in if they are out of stock at the dealership. It is true that a pair of springs can last you ten years, but that depends on how often you open and close your garage door. The more you use your garage door, the quicker the life of the spring decreases. Heavier garage doors require a two-spring system, which will extend the life of your spring. A good garage door company will make sure you get spring warranty. When installing a spring system, some faulty springs can break within a year. This is a manufacturing issue, so it is important that you make sure you have warranty. We guarantee warranty if we provide the
spring for you, if you buy it off of Amazon, well we can’t do much besides help you install it. We’ve been changing springs for years now, what takes people 4 hours to do, we can do in 45 minutes.
