Cost
According to managemylife.com, Chain Driven Models cost the least but are not as efficient or quiet compared to the newer models. A bare bones chain drive will cost approximately $130. If you want to feel like you’re wearing a sign that says “Welcome to the neighborhood” this would be the model to install in your new home. Chain drives are definitely the cheapest but not known for their sound quality. Next step up is a screw drive model that is a compromise in quality to the newer belt driven models but known to do the job even with some heavier doors with a little less residual noise. These screw drive models cost in the range of $150 to $250. You can pick up the more technologically advanced belt driven models for anywhere from $200 to $450. In the long run, this would turn out to be the best investment for the smooth operating system and quiet functionality, security features and extra perks. The range on these models is wider because with the newer models there are more features and benefits that come standard to consider and then add on options for some that could bump the price up to the higher end.
Installation
If you’re a skilled do-it-yourself kind of person, you can install most models on your own and save a little money while you’re at it. I urge you to consider what all is involved in this process before you make that leap of faith or you could quickly find yourself knee deep in a mock episode of “Tool Time”. The machine has numerous mechanical, bracing and electronic parts that you will need to assemble. The positioning, wiring and adjustments will need to be highly accurate if you want the garage door opener to work safely or at all for that matter. So if I’ve already lost you with the techy lingo, consider hiring a professional. If you’re up for the task, go for it! The installation will be done more quickly with a pretty sure guarantee it will run well and run long for you.
Installation and longevity should definitely be kept in mind when considering your garage door opener budget as it will have a direct effect on your total overall investment in the long term.
