Is a Garage Door Opener Upgrade Right for You?

 

The Importance Of a Garage Door Opener For Your Arizona Home

 

Your garage door opener is an important piece of equipment for your home, safety and peace of mind. If it’s not working properly, you’ll have a hard time getting your door open and closed easily. You may also leave your home unprotected if some of the security features aren’t working. If the opener is broken, you may not even be able to get into your garage without a hassle.

Over time, your garage door opener will start to wear down, just like other components of your home, and will need to be replaced. But there may be other reasons why you need to upgrade your garage door opener, as well. Here are a few things to consider to decide if a garage door opener upgrade is right for you:

 

 

A Slow Garage Door Opener

 

Your garage door opener takes a lot of wear and tear over time. It is lugging a huge door up and down, and the components wear down from the strain. Over time, you’ll notice this happening because the door will seem to open or close more slowly.

Your garage door repair service in Gold Canyon may be able to make some repairs that will solve the problem. But if the issue is that the opener is simply getting older, the best solution is just to replace it.

Important note: Age and wear may not be the only issues. If you notice that your garage door opener is moving slow, inspect your garage door and its components. Another very important reason that your garage door opener is functioning slowly may be due to a broken torsion spring and your opener is pulling more weight than it should be. 

 

A Noisy Garage Door Opener

 

As your opener ages, the components inside can become loose, creating a lot of rattling or vibration as the door opens or closes. It can be a real production every time you open or close your garage door. You can hire a technician to tighten or replace the components, but that might not solve the problem in the long term if your opener is nearing the end of its life. Your only real solution may be to replace the garage door opener.

Some openers are noisier than others due to the type of motor that powers the opener, or whether it is chain or belt driven. If you are hoping to have an extremely quiet opener, the combination of a DC motor and a belt drive will be your best bet. 

 

Control Your Garage Door Opener Through a Range Of “Smart Home” Apps

 

As technology advances, more features are available for all aspects of your home, including your garage door and your garage door opener. You may want to upgrade your garage door opener not because it is malfunctioning frequently, but because you simply want to have more features available, such as the ability to control your opener through a range of “smart home” apps or putting your garage door on a schedule. You may just want to take advantage of options like battery savers or other energy efficiency mechanisms.

Fortunately, you have a wide variety of options available to you. Research what’s out there to find out what you’re missing.
