Choosing between a 1/2 hp or 3/4 hp garage door opener depends on the weight of your garage door. If you’ve got a standard residential door, a 1/2 hp opener should do the trick. But if you have a heavier door or a larger, double-sized door, you’ll want to go with a 3/4 hp opener. If you’re unsure, our team can help you pick the right one based on your door’s size and weight.

It really depends on what you’re looking for. Chain-drive openers are the most affordable and reliable, but they can be a bit noisy. Belt-drive openers are quieter and smoother, perfect for homes with attached garages. If you want something simple and low-maintenance, screw-drive openers are a great option. And if you’re after a quiet, efficient opener that takes up less space, a direct-drive opener might be the way to go.

While it’s technically possible to replace a garage door opener on your own, we don’t recommend it. It involves heavy lifting, proper alignment, and wiring, which can be tricky without the right knowledge and tools. For your safety and peace of mind, it’s best to have our professionals install it properly.

In most cases, yes! If the rails are in good condition and aligned properly, you can just replace the opener itself without changing the entire rail system. However, if the rails are worn out or damaged, it’s a good idea to replace them as well. Our team will assess the situation and advise you on the best option.

A typical garage door opener can last anywhere from 10 to 15 years, depending on the brand, how often it’s used, and how well it’s maintained. If your opener is starting to act up or showing signs of wear and tear, it might be time for a replacement. Regular maintenance can help extend the life of your opener, too.

On average, a professional can install a garage door opener in about 2 to 4 hours. This includes removing the old opener (if needed), setting up the new one, and making sure everything is aligned and working properly. We make sure the job is done quickly without cutting corners, so you can get back to your day with peace of mind.

A garage door opener that makes a humming noise but doesn’t move the door is often a sign of a mechanical issue, not an electrical one. The most common culprits include:

  • A worn or stripped gear inside the opener
  • A disengaged or jammed trolley
  • A broken drive belt or chain
  • A frozen or locked door, especially in cold Ottawa winters

In some cases, the motor is trying to operate, but something is physically preventing movement. It’s best to stop using the opener until it’s inspected, as forcing it could burn out the motor.

Garage door openers can often be repaired, especially if the issue is with components like the circuit board, sensors, limit switches, or remotes. Repairs are generally more cost-effective for openers that are less than 10 years old and don’t have widespread damage. However, if the motor is failing, or it lacks safety features found in newer models, replacement may be the better long-term solution. Our technicians can help evaluate whether a repair is worth it based on the model and the problem.

Some signs your garage door opener may need professional servicing include:

  • Inconsistent response to remotes or wall switches
  • Unusual noises like grinding, clicking, or humming
  • Sluggish or jerky movement
  • Intermittent operation, especially during cold weather
  • Lights on the opener flashing or error codes showing
  • The door reversing unexpectedly or not closing fully

Catching these early can prevent more expensive repairs or sudden breakdowns. Regular maintenance also helps extend the lifespan of the opener.

Flashing lights on a garage door opener often indicate a safety sensor issue. Most modern openers use flashing light patterns to signal errors, and in many cases, this means:

  • The photo-eye sensors are misaligned or blocked
  • There’s a wiring issue with the sensor circuit
  • The close force or travel limits need adjustment
  • Or there’s a power surge or logic board fault

If the opener blinks when trying to close the door, check the sensor lenses for dust or obstructions, and make sure the LED indicators on both sensors are solid. If everything looks aligned and it’s still blinking, our technician should take a look to avoid further issues.
