Electric Garage Doors

At this time of year, with the cold dark days,  one of the nicer home improvement products to consider is the Electric Garage Door.

We all know that, in an ideal world, we would want to park our cars in a garage. This is not only for security but to protect our cars from the harsher weather conditions – not to mention the fact you will not have to scrape the ice off in the mornings!

In reality, most people who have a garage do not use it for putting their car in, instead they use it to store things they rarely use and this quickly becomes an unusable junk room that is rarely entered.

What is the reason for this? Well there are several but to name a few:

  • A garage door can be heavy to operate
  • They are not always quick to open
  • Standing around in the cold or wet weather opening and closing your garage door is far from ideal
  • There is the security aspect of being outside in dark conditions alone
  • To get from your car into the warmth of your home is your number one priority

This is where the Electric Garage Door can be massively beneficial to overcome all of the above points.

  • An Electric Garage Door takes no manual work at all, just a press of a remote control and it’s open
  • Electric garage doors can be open by the time you reach your driveway thanks to remote control technology
  • Drive straight into your garage and have the electric garage door closing before you even get out of your car
  • The courtesy light of your electric garage door is already lit and stays so until you are in your house
  • As quickly as parking on the driveway you are safely in your home, but your car is safe and secure thanks to your electric garage door

The above examples are just a few reasons why an electric garage door could be the solution for you. On top of these advantages there is the added benefit of adding value to your home, and the luxury and convenience that electric garage doors bring.

There are very few negatives with electric garage doors that some may be concerned with. They are very quiet in operation, require little or no maintenance and, ensuring a quality brand of electric garage door is chose, will be trouble free for a lifetime.

  1. I guess the benefits of having a garage far outweighs the inconveniences pointed out here. Even with a manual garage door, it is still better to park inside the garage in the summertime to reduce vaporized emission and during winter too. But it sure is a lot better if you have an electric powered one. 😀

  2. Electric garage doors really work great unless but these can be messy at times, in a way that there could be an unexpected technical error or a sudden power breakdown that will not see how urgent it is to get yourself out of garage. But overall, these work well enough.

  3. People use their garage to “store things they rarely use” how true (and sad) that is.

    When it comes to not scraping the ice of in the morning I actually think a carport is preferable – at least for a car that sees daily use. Because if you fequently drive in and out of a warm garage in cold weather a lot of moisture will develop, which isn’t good for the electronics and may make your windows foggy on the inside.
