Find out what type of garage door opener is best for you...
There are 3 Main Types of Openers:
Chain Drive Openers: Chain drive openers are usually the most widely used and dependable type of openers. A metal chain is used to drive the garage door on its tracks. There is a slight cost difference between chain drives and belt drives. As chain drive openers tend to be noisy, they are not recommended for garages located adjacent to or under the main living areas of the house. These kinds of openers aren't normally recommended, since the small savings aren't worth it. In contrast to belt-driven systems, Genie® does not guarantee the chain for life, and the motor is significantly louder.
Belt-driven openers: Belt drives are considered the best type of opener in the garage door industry. The good thing about belt drives is that they're as reliable as chain drives and incredibly silent. Belt-driven openers usually cost a few dollars more than screw-driven openers, as they use a steel-reinforced belt. Those living in garages that are attached to their homes will never be bothered by noise from their garage doors.
Screw Driven Openers: Unlike chains or rubber belts, a screw drive opener is powered by a threaded steel rod instead of a chain. The openers usually work best in locations where there is a constant temperature and weather throughout the year. A screw drive opener isn't recommended in areas where temperatures fluctuate across the year. The only downside of this opener is that it moves slowly and is loud. It is also the least expensive of all three openers.
