BUYING GUIDE

BEST GARAGE DOOR OPENERS

When choosing the best garage door opener consider asking the person that installs them. While salespeople can be helpful, the person who knows the most concerning garage door openers are the people who install them. Only they will have experience with many different brands and additional options.

Best Garage Door Openers

Choose a Common Manufacture

For the best price and most options, we recommend common manufactures like Chamberlain or Genie as they are the most widely sold and have the most options. Also, repairs and parts are easier to find.

It's a Myth

It's a myth that you need a higher horsepower for a bigger door. If the door is properly balanced a 1/2 horsepower will work fine. if your door is heavy you could get the larger horsepower or have the springs adjusted by a garage door repair person.

Where to buy

 These days you can go to a big box and pick out an opener and carry it with. Online purchases can be shipped quickly sometimes. 

Chamberlaine Garage Door Openers

Chamberlaine has several good models to choose from. If you are buying a Chamberlaine the app is easy to set up.

1 1/4 HP Belt drive: This is a smooth operating opener with genital takeoff and landing. The 1 1/4 HP also comes with a lot of options.

1/2 HP Belt drive: This is a good operating opener. However, they are a little jerky when closing. The 1/2 HP typically come with fewer options.

1/2 HP Chain drive: This is a good opener if you want to save money and are not concerned about it being noisy.

Genie Garage Door Openers

Genies tend to be a little less expensive but good performers.

1 1/4 HP Belt drive: This is a smooth operating opener with genital takeoff and landing. The 1 1/4 HP also comes with a lot of options.

1/2 HP Belt drive: This is a good operating opener with genital takeoff and landing. The 1/2 HP typically come with fewer options.

I 1/2 HP Chain drive: This is a good opener if you want to save money. The Genie chain drive is quieter than the chamberlain chain drive model.

In Closeing. Get It, CLOSEING!

I've installed 1000's of these openers, and it is rare to see any manufacturing issues. All of these openers will last on an average of ten years. The absolute best advice I can give is to plug your Garage Door Opener into a surge protector designed just for Garage Door Openers.
