Why Should You Replace Old Garage Door Opener?
The number of times your garage door opens every year; no wonder your opener takes a big hit. Old, worn out openers might you some warning signals such as increase in the noise levels during its operation or they may just decide to stop working without any indication at all. While it is not always that you need to get the opener replaced when a simple repair can fix the issue, you need to consider replacing it immediately if it is very old and giving you frequent trouble in its functioning. We bring to you some top benefits of opener replacement.
Benefits of replacing an old garage door opener
- Improved Safety
As per 1993 CPSC rule, any garage door manufactured after 1993 should be equipped with an auto reverse safety mechanism. It is basically a system that on sensing the presence of an object or a thing underneath a garage door that is closing down, immediately stops the door and reverses its direction. If your garage door system is not equipped with this mandatory safety system, make it a priority to change your garage door opener.
- Reduced noise
Old chain that is out of alignment is one of the leading causes of a noisy garage door that is not only a nuisance to your family members but can be highly annoying for your neighbors. If your opener is more than 15 years old, it likely that lubrication and other maintenance efforts may not improve the situation. Repairing old opener units is not recommended as it is not only expensive in a long-term, but actually also highly inconvenient. The newly installed opener will have a quieter motor and also use chain drives or belt drives that are quieter.
- Improved security
New opener units make use of highly advanced security features like rolling code technology. This technology works by transmitting a different code every time you are using your remote to operate your garage door. This is a fantastic workaround to counter tech savvy burglars who use code grabbing devices, that can hack into the code your remote control device uses and use it to break-into your garage or house.
- Added features for higher convenience
Modern garage door openers provide a higher level of convenience, performance and even cost savings due to additional features such as keypad entry, key ring remotes, smart phone enabled operation and built-in battery back-up for power outages.
Over the last few years, there have been significant improvements in garage door opener models, thus offering more convenience, improved security and added layer of safety for your family. It is better to invest in new units than keep pouring money on frequent repairs that old garage door opener units may demand.
