The benefits of installing a garage door opener are well-documented. When you install one of the available Garage Door Openers Westchester Ny, you do have to be sure to maintain it, repair it when necessary and be willing to replace parts when they are no longer operating as intended. The easiest way to ensure your garage door opener operates optimally all the time is to hire professionals to maintain it.
Here are three types of garage door openers you may consider installing.
Belt-Drive Garage Door Opener
A belt-drive garage door opener uses a belt to move the parts that help the garage door open and close, automatically. It is quieter than the garage door openers operated by chains. So, if your garage is attached to your home, and you prefer not to hear every time it is opened or closed when you are home, this is a good choice. The belt-type is a little more expensive than a chain-drive opener, but the benefits offset the additional expense. A belt-drive opener also has less parts. This means that it requires less maintenance, which is an added plus.
Screw-Drive Garage Door Opener
A screw-drive garage door opener operates with a threaded steel rod. The rod is the mechanism that causes the garage door to open and close, automatically. Like the belt-drive option, it, too, has less components and is quieter than a chain-drive option.
Direct-Drive Garage Door Opener
A direct-drive garage door opener is the quietest option. It has few components, and only uses a motor to operate the trolley. Since it only has one part that moves, there is less vibration and noise when the garage door is opened and closed.
