Garage Door Opener Installation in the Greater Phoenix Area

When selecting a garage door opener or garage door opener replacement, a homeowner should consider several factors before making a final choice. There are three types of garage door openers: chain drive, belt drive, and wall mounted or jackshaft. These have benefits and drawbacks that must be weighed during the selection process.

Once a garage door opener has been selected, the homeowner will want it installed by a trained expert since it’s possible to damage various components during the installation process when performed by an untrained individual.

Here are some other factors to consider when selecting a garage door opener:

  • The weight and size of the garage door are crucial components when selecting a garage door opener. For example, a jackdrive garage door opener works well for garage doors that are exceptionally tall or big, but aren’t compatible with roll-up doors. Some garage door openers aren’t compatible with garage doors of a certain weight or size, so those measurements are necessary before any garage door opener options can be considered.

  • Regardless of the model or type, a garage door opener has to have sufficient power to operate the specific garage door the homeowner has installed on the home. The motor on a garage door opener that lacks horsepower will wear down faster. If a garage door opener has too much power, it will be expensive and a waste of energy. The trick is to find a garage door motor in the sweet spot between too much and too little horsepower to match the garage door’s weight.

  • The different types of garage door openers emit different noise levels. For example, chain drive garage door openers are a noisy but powerful option. Noise can be an essential consideration, particularly for a family with living space over the garage or one in which family members have different schedules, making it likely that the noise level of the garage door opener will disturb sleeping family members.

  • The garage door secures the garage’s contents and, in many cases, acts as the primary entrance method for the family. In addition, many home builders use a hollow core door between the garage and the home, making the garage door an even more essential component of home security. The reverse feature, rolling codes, and other features available should be considered during the garage door opener purchase.

  • The cost of a garage door opener depends on the type of opener, speed, horsepower, various security options, and other features. Regardless of these options, the garage door opener must fall within the homeowner’s budget.

Types of Garage Door Openers

  • Belt drive

    Belt drive openers use a rubber belt to open and close a garage door. A belt-driven garage door opener is best suited for most garage doors and offers a quiet operation and few vibrations.

  • Chain drive

    Chain drive garage door openers are versatile and can handle most door sizes. However, they can be loud compared to other types of openers.

  • Wall-mount or Jack-shaft

    As the name suggests, a wall-mounted garage door opener is mounted in the wall, thus avoiding opener hardware on the ceiling. A jack-shaft also features quiet operation. The drawback is that a jack-shaft can be more expensive than other options.
