It’s 2023, and there are so many things we can do around the home to make it that little bit more convenient. They don’t have to be fancy – they can be little touches to simplify our home comfort, functionality, mobility etc. One of those things is to simplify opening the garage door, and here are the benefits of an automatic opener:
They are incredibly convenient
Obviously, the main benefit of an automatic garage door opener is its convenience. You don’t have to jump in and out of the car to open the port – simply push the button and away you roll!
They have added lighting
Contemporary models now come with a component that lights your garage when you open the door, providing additional safety for when you get home late at night or if you have a lot of stuff in the space that you really don’t want dinting your car.
Garage door increase security
You can put contemporary models on vacation mode, which will disable the controls and only allow the port to be opened from the inside. This always works as a great deterrent to opportunistic thieves who might otherwise attempt to break into your home with the knowledge you have taken off for a week or two!
Less risk of injury
Those old school garage doors were always putting the home occupant at risk, whether it be through crashing down on their feet or hands, or through a person with a pre-existing medical condition having to lift the heavy access point every time they want to park their car or leave the home!
With these contemporary openers, you can simply sit back in the car and relax with the knowledge that the port will be safely opened.
It closes itself
Another fantastic thing you won’t have to worry about is closing the port itself, as these ingenious models will close themselves after time. That means no more driving all the way to work with the worry you’ve left the garage open with all your goods showing to opportunistic thieves!
Cost & energy-efficient
Highly advanced mechanisms. They don’t require much electricity to run at full capacity. This is fantastic as it makes them wonderfully cost-efficient without leaving a massive carbon footprint. This makes them even more suitable for people who want the convenience or safety of using this technology without the massive cost or carbon impact!
They come with a range of features
This technology comes with a range of awesome features, including smartphone connectivity which allows you to ensure your port is closed or an alarm to tell you that the door is open.
Maintenance
This barely requires any maintenance, and can run efficiently for long periods without the need of calling up a technician. We do recommend that you have the fixture serviced once in a while, but the technology itself is highly durable and can work at top capacity without much maintenance at all.
It is cost-effective to install
Despite its awesome, advanced technology, these ports with their electronic capacity are actually quite cheap to have installed. You can always find a first class technician who will be happy to provide garage door installation for a good price, ensuring you have a state of the art piece of technology working at your disposal when you need it.
It’s for these reasons that this technology is one of the most popular appendages for Aussie homes!
