Depending on the type, a new garage door opener costs between $300 and $1,000, plus installation. Openers with WiFi or smart home features usually cost on the higher end, while basic openers are more affordable.
A garage door opener usually lasts between 10 and 15 years. The local climate, the quality of the opener, how much it’s used, and how well it’s maintained will all impact its lifespan.

Yes, it can be too cold for a garage door opener to function correctly. Extremely low temperatures can cause issues affecting garage door opener performance, such as metal contraction, lubricant freezing, sensor interference from ice or frost, electronic issues, and battery problems.
This depends on your specific needs and preferences. Chan-driven openers are stronger, more durable in extreme temperatures, cheaper, and more cost-effective. But they are also noisier and require more maintenance. Belt-driven openers run smoother, faster, and quieter, making them perfect for attached home garages. They are also easier to install. On the other hand, they are more expensive upfront.
