Why doesn’t my garage door go all the way down?If your garage door starts to close but then reverses, there's a straightforward solution to address this issue. Begin by inspecting the safety sensors located near the ground on each side of the door. If these sensors are misaligned, the garage door won't complete its closing cycle. To ensure proper alignment, verify that both sensors display a steady light. One sensor should emit a solid red/orange light, while the other should emit a solid green light. If either light is blinking, simply adjust the sensors until the light remains stable, and then try closing the door again. Heres a video by LiftMaster to show how to align and diagnose your garage door issue: If you would like personal help give me a call at (210)-331-6717. - Jeffrey Walther

What is the main difference between AC and DC openers?Both AC and DC garage door openers have their advantages and disadvantages. DC openers are generally favored for their quieter and smoother operation, energy efficiency, and advanced features. However, the choice between the two depends on your specific needs, budget, and preferences. It's recommended to consider factors like noise level, power source, backup systems, and available features when selecting the right garage door opener for your home. Below are some key features and the differences between motor types. 1. Power Source: AC Openers: These openers operate on alternating current from the electrical grid. They are typically wired directly into your home's electrical system. DC Openers: These openers use direct current and can be powered by a standard electrical outlet or a battery backup system. Some models have the flexibility to switch between AC and DC power sources. 2. Noise Level: AC Openers: AC openers tend to be louder compared to DC openers, producing more noise during operation. DC Openers: DC openers are known for their quieter operation due to the smoother transitions of the direct current. 3. Speed and Smoothness: AC Openers: AC openers may have more abrupt starts and stops, leading to a slightly less smooth operation. DC Openers: DC openers offer smoother starts and stops, which can extend the lifespan of the garage door components and provide a gentler operation. 4. Control and Features: AC Openers: AC openers are often basic and straightforward, offering standard features without advanced technology. DC Openers: DC openers offer more advanced control options, such as variable speed settings, soft start and stop features, and compatibility with smart home technology. 5. Energy Efficiency: AC Openers: AC openers can be less energy-efficient due to the constant use of alternating current from the grid. DC Openers: DC openers are more energy-efficient since they convert AC power to DC power, which results in less energy consumption. 6. Battery Backup: AC Openers: AC openers typically do not have built-in battery backup systems. They rely solely on the electrical grid. DC Openers: DC openers can have built-in battery backup systems that allow the opener to function during power outages. This is a significant advantage for areas prone to power disruptions. 7. Maintenance: AC Openers: AC openers may require more maintenance due to their more mechanical nature. DC Openers: DC openers often require less maintenance due to their smoother operation and fewer moving parts.
