Queens Garage Door Opener Installation

Don’t know the difference between an opener that has ½ horsepower and ¾ horsepower? Don’t feel forced by companies trying to sell you their product without informing yourself of what you are going to buy and how it works.  You will feel more secure once you research garage door openers and see if you are getting your moneys-worth. 

Is ¾ hp better than ½ hp?

Well neither of them are bad at all.  It depends on the particular garage door you have.  If you have a light, wooden residential door chances are highly likely that all you need is a garage opener with ½ horsepower.  It is as reliable and durable as a ¾ hp opener the only difference is that ¾ hp is for heavy commercial doors that require a little bit more power than your average door.  So if you are the owner of a business and have a heavy loading dock door, it is evident that an opener with ¾ horsepower is the most prudent choice.
