Time for a New Garage Door Opener Upgrade
Garage door openers are often taken for granted.
Garage door openers are often taken for granted. Day after day, they operate with the click of a button, making life easier. Then, one day, the opener struggles, moving slowly and barely lifting the door. Delays like these can be frustrating, especially when running late. Recognizing the signs early can prevent a complete breakdown and the inconvenience that comes with it.
Older Garage Door Openers Are Unsafe
Garage door technology has advanced significantly over the last 20 years. Modern openers come with enhanced safety features, unlike older models. Openers manufactured before 1993 were not required to have auto-reverse, a feature designed to prevent serious injuries and damage. If the garage door opener is the same one installed with the home over 20 years ago, it may be time for an upgrade. Older openers are not just a safety risk but also tend to be much louder.
Noise Level
Older garage door openers become noisier over time. If peaceful sleep is now interrupted by the sound of a garage door opener, it may be a sign that a replacement is needed. New models are designed to operate much more quietly, including advanced chain drive openers that reduce noise levels. Upgrading to a modern opener offers a quieter and more efficient experience.
Smart Garage Door Openers for Convenience
Forgetting to close the garage door happens more often than expected. Fortunately, some manufacturers offer solutions. Some Smart garage door openers allow homeowners to check the status of the garage door and control it remotely using a smartphone, tablet, or PC. This smart technology brings added convenience and peace of mind, eliminating worries about whether the door was left open.
Battery Backup for Power Outages
New garage door openers now come equipped with battery backup systems. These systems allow the garage door to function even during power outages, providing uninterrupted operation when needed most. As power grid reliability fluctuates, having a battery backup can be invaluable.
