Top-of-the-line Garage Door Installations/Openers in Orangeville
If you are looking for garage door installations/openers in Orangeville, reach out to Academy Overhead Garage Doors Inc. We Canadians handle cold weather pretty well, but that doesn’t mean we have to endure it inside our homes or businesses. You may have ensured that you are not losing heat in the peak of winter or over exerting the air conditioner during summer. What about your garage? Is it insulated? If not, we can help. Old garage doors did not come with proper insulation. So, many of the garage doors in the Orangeville region have either insufficient insulation or no insulation at all. Hence, many residents and businesses are losing money on utility bills day in, day out. A well-insulated garage door can increase the resale value of your property.
Apart from getting the monetary benefits, you can better utilize your garage space or workshop with insulation. Without the same, you may have to use your gloves while working, which is both inconvenient and impractical. However, with proper insulation, that won’t be the case.
You can choose from a full range of overhead garage doors in both metal and wood, and find the one that will best suit your residence or business. Contact us for your garage door needs – you won’t be disappointed!
Why Should You Install a Garage Door Opener?
While most garage doors are equipped with openers, some homeowners choose not to replace a broken unit or upgrade an outdated one, often overlooking the drawbacks.
A modern garage door opener eliminates the hassle of manually hitting the wall switch every time you enter or exit. It provides consistent force distribution, reducing wear on springs and tracks, especially for heavy, insulated doors.
Openers also help maintain indoor temperatures by keeping cold or hot air from seeping in. Most models now include safety sensors, rolling code security, and smart home integration.
Academy Overhead Garage Doors Inc Offers Garage Door Openers for Your Orangeville Home or Business
There are several garage door openers available for your Orangeville residence or business. However, you need to have clarity regarding your expectations. Although we can install any make or model of garage door openers, we do specialize in LiftMaster® and Chamberlain garage door openers. Here is a brief description of some of the different features of the garage door openers you could find with us:
Chain drive: Chain drives excel in terms of power. These openers are also made for residential use. There is safety in power.
Belt drive: Belt drives are sought after for their exceptional quietness. The belt, as opposed to chain, creates less friction and noise while also being housed in a special Motor Vibration Isolation System (MVIS®).
Screw drive: These openers are made to work in any weather condition. Built using galvanized steel railing, this system gets the job done right – every time.
Jackshaft garage door opener: For those wishing to keep their ceiling space, this opener is wall mounted next to the garage door for space-saving efficiency.
What’s the Difference Between Belt and Chain Garage Door Opener?
The primary difference between these two popular opener types lies in the drive mechanism.
Chain-drive openers use a metal chain, similar to a bicycle chain, to pull the trolley and operate the door. They’re known for their durability and are ideal for heavier doors; however, they tend to produce more vibration and noise during operation.
Belt-drive openers, on the other hand, use a reinforced rubber belt—typically made of fiberglass or polyurethane with steel cords—to move the trolley. This results in quieter performance and reduced maintenance, as there’s no metal-on-metal contact.
Both systems use the same motor types—AC or DC—but DC-powered belt drives are more likely to offer soft start/stop functionality and are often featured in smart garage door opener models.
What Are the Common Signs That You Need To Upgrade Your Garage Door Opener?
Older garage door openers often lack the safety, security, and compatibility features found in newer models. If your opener is over 10 to 15 years old or showing signs of irregular function, it may be time to consider an upgrade.
Here are common indicators that your garage door opener needs replacement:
- Lack of safety reversal system: Some older openers don’t include photo-eye sensors, which are now standard for preventing injury or damage.
- Unreliable remote function: If remotes fail intermittently or only work at close range, the receiver board or logic board may be failing.
- No rolling code technology: Older units with fixed codes are vulnerable to code grabbing and unauthorized entry.
- Excessive noise or vibration: Loud operation, rattling, or jerky door movement often indicates motor wear or a deteriorating drive mechanism.
- Incompatibility with smart devices: If your opener doesn’t support Wi-Fi integration or smartphone control, it limits automation and remote monitoring.
Can You Get a Quiet Garage Door Opener?
Yes, quiet operation is possible, and the type of drive system plays a major role. As noted above, belt-drive openers are much quieter than chain-drive models because they eliminate metal-on-metal contact, making them a preferred choice for garages attached to bedrooms or other living areas.
For even greater noise reduction, direct-drive openers offer a superior option. These units use a stationary motor that moves along the rail, eliminating the need for components such as belts and chains entirely. If minimizing sound is important to you, we can recommend a make and model that meets your noise-reduction goals and budget.
Additional Features
Smartphone compatible: Have the remote control for your garage door integrated with your smartphone for added convenience. Battery backup: Even in the event of a power cut, your garage door will open like a charm. This added safety feature is essential for doors that are too heavy to open manually.
The Protector System®: An invisible beam scans the entrance, automatically reversing the closing door if it is interrupted. PosiLock®: This patented system makes sure that when the door is closed, it stays locked.
These types and features can be arranged for residential or commercial applications depending on your needs and wishes.
