New Garage Door Openers
New Garage Door Opener Installation
A reliable garage door opener makes daily access to your garage simple and convenient. While some opener problems can be repaired, there are times when replacing the unit is the better long term solution. If your current opener is outdated, unreliable, or lacking modern safety features, our technicians can help you select and install a new system designed for dependable operation.
Garage Door Opener Options
Garage door openers are available in several drive types, each offering different benefits depending on your garage setup, noise preferences, and budget.
Belt Drive Garage Door Openers
Belt drive openers are widely considered the quietest option available. These systems use a steel reinforced belt to move the door smoothly along the track.
Benefits of belt drive openers include:
- Extremely quiet operation
- Smooth and consistent performance
- Ideal for garages located near living spaces
Because of their performance and quiet operation, belt drive systems are often considered the premium opener option.
Chain Drive Garage Door Openers
Chain drive openers are one of the most commonly installed systems. These openers use a metal chain to move the trolley along the rail and lift the door.
Key advantages include:
- Strong and dependable performance
- Proven durability
- A more cost effective option for many homeowners
Chain drives tend to produce more noise than belt systems but remain a reliable and widely used solution.
Jackshaft and Wall Mount Openers
Jackshaft openers, also known as wall mount openers, are installed beside the garage door rather than on the ceiling. This design eliminates the need for a traditional overhead rail system.
These openers are often chosen when:
- Overhead ceiling space needs to remain clear
- The garage has a low ceiling height
- Homeowners want a quieter and more compact system
Wall mount systems lift the door directly from the torsion bar, providing smooth and efficient operation.
Smart Garage Door Opener Features
Many modern garage door openers include smart technology designed to improve convenience and security.
Popular features include:
- Smartphone Control: Open or close your garage door from anywhere using a mobile app.
- Real Time Notifications: Receive alerts when your garage door opens or closes so you can monitor activity while away.
- Voice Assistant Compatibility: Some systems connect with voice assistants such as Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant for hands free control.
- Integrated Cameras: Certain models include built in cameras that allow homeowners to see activity inside the garage in real time.
- Battery Backup: Battery backup systems allow the garage door to operate during power outages.
- Scheduled Operation: Set the door to open or close automatically at scheduled times.
- Lighting Integration: Smart lighting features can illuminate the garage when the door opens or based on programmed schedules.
