Quiet. DC motors are the quietest available, operating almost silently.
Constant monitoring and adjustment. DC powered openers have the ability to monitor and adjust the garage door opener throughout the opening and closing cycle.
Soft Start and Stop. DC motors actually slow the garage door travel at the beginning and end of the opening and closing cycle, making for quieter operation and less wear and tear on your garage door.
Improved efficiency and lower energy use. No, garage door openers are not known as energy hogs, but every little bit counts.
4. Replace Your Garage Door Opener for Safety
If your garage door opener was manufactured before 1993, anti-entrapment measures were not required. Today’s modern openers have at least one, and often several safety options to protect you, your kids, grandkids or neighbor kids, your pets and your stuff.
With a growing number of DC garage door openers on the market, safety has also improved. Here are a few of the latest notable improvements:
DC power not only makes for a quite garage door opener, most DC garage door openers have a constant monitoring feature that makes continuous adjustments during the opening and closing cycle. If your garage door encounters an obstruction, it will stop and reverse to the open position.
Infrared garage door sensors. This has been the standard for years.
Door sensing technology that will stop and reverse the garage door if it encounters a person or object in its path.
5. Replace Your Garage Door Opener for Power
The days of under-powered 1/3 HP models are long gone. Today’s heavy solid wooden garage doors and carriage house doors often demand a more powerful opener.
Most brands now offer 3/4 HP AC and DC powered models, with some available up to 1 HP.
6. Better Security

There are literally billions of possible code combinations with the latest generation of garage door remotes. Plus, Overhead Door has added dual frequency technology.
Auto Seek Dual Frequency technology chooses between 315 Mhz and 390 Mhz to determine which will have the least possible interference. Many manufacturers have also upgraded their rolling code technology with improved encryption to thwart would-be intruders from opening your garage door.
