New Garage Door Openers In Cincinnati

Is it time for a new garage door opener?  If so, we’d like to give you some information to help you make the right choice for your garage.

What Size Garage Door Opener To Get

If you have a single car garage door, we’d recommend a half horsepower garage door opener. It’s more than enough for the single car garage door.

For a 2 car door, or double-wide garage door, especially heavy ones or custom doors, I would recommend a three quarter horsepower garage door opener.

What Type of Garage Door Opener To Get

There are two styles of garage doors – a chain drive and a belt drive. If your garage is detached from your home, and noise is not an issue, the chain drive garage door opener will certainly work for you.

If your garage is attached to your home, and your living space is above it or next to it, then the belt drive garage door opener is certainly a better choice for you. It will have a lot less noise and vibration than the chain drive.

Belt drive openers come with a rubber, steel reinforced belt so it’s going to last as long as the chain.

The chain drives have been around forever and it’s generally less expensive, but unfortunately, it makes quite a bit more noise

Our Choice of Garage Door Openers For Attached Garages

For most homes, the best drive garage door opener is really the best option. Depending on the model you choose, the belt drive will come with more features and functions than the chain drive.

The chain drives literally just opens and closes the door and turns the light on and off.

Now your choice is what do you want in a garage door opener?

Do you want security?
Do you want safety?
Do you want a battery backup?
Do you want LED bright lights?
Do you want to be able to connect from your smartphone?
Do you want a camera?

The features you want will determine what the cost of the garage door opener will be.

Now that you know more about garage door openers, the decision is yours.

If noise doesn’t bother you & gadgets and features don’t float your boat, then a chain drive is going to be for you.

If you’re looking for something quieter, and has gadgets and features, a battery backup, built in wifi, etc., the a belt drive is for you.
