Let's Begin by leaning the 3 types of available garage door openers:

Belt Drive

Belt drive garage door openers are the quietest on the market and the belts are typically warranteed for life (may depend on manufacturer, we'll let you know prior to installation), so dependability is not a problem. Because they are dependable and so quiet, belt drives are considered to be the 'top of the line' of garage door openers. The only down side is price. Belt drives are a little more expensive than the other openers.

Chain Drive

Chain Drive openers are the stalwart of the industry. Ultra reliable and less expensive than the belt drive make them a popular choice. Chain drive openers can be a good choice to save a little money when your garage is not attached to your home.

Screw Drive

Screw drive garage door opener uses a lifting mechanism that moves along a threaded steel rod. They are powerful units and because they have few moving parts, they require little maintenance. This is generally the slowest moving of the three types of openers and is not as quiet as the belt drive units. Screw drive openers are may not be available in cold weather climate areas.
