Here are some common signs that your garage door opener might need to be replaced:
- Frequent breakdowns: If your opener is constantly malfunctioning or requiring repairs, it may be reaching the end of its lifespan.
- Unusual noises: Loud noises, such as grinding or clicking, can be a sign of internal issues.
- Slow operation: If your garage door is significantly slower to open or close than it used to be, the opener might be struggling.
- Safety sensor issues: If the safety sensors are malfunctioning or not working properly, it could be a problem with the opener.
- Age: Garage door openers typically last around 10-15 years. If yours is nearing or exceeding this age, it might be time for a replacement.
If you notice any of these signs, it’s recommended to contact a professional garage door technician for an inspection and
to discuss your options for replacement. Sources and related content
