Garage Door Openers
Are you in the market for a brand new garage door opener? Is your current opener breaking or really struggling to simply open the garage door? Here's some common problems why garage door openers break and how the Muskego Garage Door Repair Experts can fix them.
Burnt Out Garage Door Motor
The number one most common reason why garage door openers break is because the motors burn out. Let's face it, these things aren't the energizer bunny. These things push and pull thousands of times over throughout their lifetime and that can be strenuous for any type of a motor.
With the tension and stress of constantly lifting a 75 pound garage door, opener's usually have a life expectancy of about 10 years. After that it's not uncommon for the motor to burn out and the garage door opener will need replacement. If that happened to you, we're the guys to call.

Power Outages
Most people don't know this but garage door motors are connected to your house's power source. If the power goes out or for whatever reason it becomes unusable, your garage door won't open. This can put you in a tough position during an emergency. That's why we suggest you hard-wire your garage door opener into a power source rather than have it plugged in to a regular outlet.
Obviously this isn't something you want to do on your own. In fact for a job like this you want to hire a professional like us who is trained and will do it correctly without electrocuting themselves. If you have any questions about that feel free to give us a call and we can help you out.

Physical Damage To The Opener
This can happen all sorts of different ways. Over our years in the business you wouldn't believe the things we've seen that have happen to the openers. We've seen garage door openers burnt due to house fires, simply falling from the ceiling and more.
The easiest way to identify if the opener has been damaged physically is simply by looking at it. If it looks broken or clunky it probably is. These types of situations require full replacements almost every time.

Water Or Moisture Damage
Garage doors can be very damp and moist places in the house. Obviously nobody lives in their garage so most people don't mind if there's a little moisture. That's a BIG mistake. Over time, the moisture can seep into your garage door opener and damage the electrical components inside. Once that happens, you likely need to replace the whole thing.
To keep your opener working properly it's important to keep your garage dry. You can easily do this by keeping an open bag of bark chips in your garage to absorb the moisture or using a dehumidifier to pull the moisture out. By using a dehumidifier regularly, you can increase the life of your garage door opener by up to 5 years.
