Safer Garage Door Openers in Alexandria, KY

Like anything else in your home environment, today's electric garage door openers are miles beyond standard openers from 20 to 30 years ago. They are safer, faster, and quieter-as well as more convenient and energy efficient-than their older counterparts.

Electric garage door openers can last for years with routine maintenance, but that alone is not a good reason to continue using an outdated and possibly unsafe device. An opener manufactured before the federal government tightened safety requirements in the early 1990s merely opened and closed without regard for the safety of people and animals in the way.

Consider updating your vintage device. Today's garage door openers include safety sensors that detect objects in the door's path. The system stops and reverses the door movement, preventing harm to you and your family.

Digital Age Garage Door Openers

Electric openers have evolved with advances in technology. Besides using a remote device, many openers are Wi-Fi capable, allowing you to control door movement, locking, and lighting from an app on your smartphone. Some include a camera that permits you to see inside your garage.

A keyless electronic entry pad can provide additional safety and convenience. It enables you to enter your garage without a handheld remote. It is the perfect means of giving a delivery person or a neighbor temporary access to your garage while you are away from home.

Garage Door Opener Installation and Replacement

Our expert team at Johnson Heating and Cooling can recommend an opener that best suits your garage door and meets your expectations for use. We will advise you if additional electrical upgrades are necessary before we begin the work.

At the same time, we can install a backup battery for your new electric entry system. A backup battery is a must-have during a power outage. It allows your door to open and close without manual effort.

Most automatic doors include an emergency release that enables you to open the door manually. However, it is typically placed high on the door and requires a key. If you do not have your key or cannot reach the lock, manually opening the door can be problematic.

We also recommend adding a surge protector for your opener to guard against sudden spikes in the electrical current. A power surge can happen if lightning strikes a nearby transformer or when your utility company reconnects power after an outage or switches power grids. An increase in voltage can damage your opener's motor, circuit board, and wiring.

Our pros at Johnson Heating and Cooling can easily add a surge protector to your door mechanism to prevent damage during an outage.

Garage Door Opener Repairs

You open and close your garage door hundreds, maybe even thousands, of times yearly with your electric opener. That continued wear and tear can lead to problems, especially if you disregard routine maintenance.

Although a door opener typically lasts up to 15 years, mechanical and electrical issues can affect how well it operates throughout its service life. If your garage door opener makes unusual noises, vibrates, or causes the door to open and reverse erratically, it needs professional attention. Sensors, motors, gears, and circuit boards are just a few components that can malfunction.
