Types of Garage Door Openers
Understanding your options before you choose.
Belt Drive
Quietest chain-style option. Rubber belt replaces metal chain. Best for attached garages and living spaces above the garage.
Chain Drive
Reliable and affordable. Louder than belt drive. Ideal for detached garages where noise isn't a concern.
Direct Drive
Motor travels along a stationary chain. Only one moving part. Virtually silent and extremely long-lasting.
Screw Drive
Threaded steel rod lifts the door. Fewer parts than chain or belt. Good for non-insulated garages in moderate climates.

Frequently Asked Questions — Opener Service
A fully installed garage door opener in Calgary costs $680–$980 + GST depending on brand and drive type. Sommer and LiftMaster belt drive openers are most popular at $780–$920 installed. Opener repair (when the existing unit is salvageable) starts at $180.
Often yes. Common repairable issues include failed circuit boards, worn drive gears, broken trolley carriages, and faulty safety sensors. If your opener is under 12 years old and the motor is sound, repair usually makes financial sense. We'll give you an honest assessment.
For Calgary conditions, we recommend Sommer (German engineering, extremely quiet, 5-year warranty) as our top pick, followed by LiftMaster (industry workhorse, wide parts availability, smart home integration). Both outperform the big-box store brands in longevity.
Chain drive openers are naturally louder than belt or direct drive. If your belt drive opener has become louder, common causes are a worn trolley carriage, loose hardware, or a door that needs lubrication and balance adjustment. We can diagnose on the same visit.
Opener repair is typically same-day. New opener installation usually requires scheduling 1–2 days out as we order the specific unit for your door size. Emergency same-day installation is available at no extra charge when we have the unit in stock.
