Garage door professionals have the skills and expertise to install the wiring necessary to connect the opener to your home’s wiring system.

GFCI outlets only last 7 to 15 years, so it’s important to test your GFCI outlet regularly to ensure everything’s running smoothly. Signs that your GFCI outlet could be nearing the end of its life include if it isn’t resetting, it’s not tripping when the “test” button is pressed, or there’s simply no power coming through the outlet. Regardless, if you’re experiencing issues, it may be time to replace your GFCI outlet.
