When to replace garage door opener?
How do you guys decide when to replace your garage door opener? When it stops working? Or proactively based on expected lifespan? If the latter, what is the expected lifespan of a garage door opener?

Because there’s some Hot Deals around. And if it breaks when there’s no hot deal it’ll cost me a couple hundred bucks more.BeapChastard wrote: ↑ LOL why would you replace it if it still works?

Nope, regular price of a garage opener is like $170-400 depending on model. Besides, there are deals on them all the time, between Lowes, HD and CT there are at least a few models on sale at any given time.

Actually yes. If there’s no sale on the one I want when mine eventually breaks, I will end up paying $100-200 extra.BeapChastard wrote: ↑ Nope, regular price of a garage opener is like $170-400 depending on model.

Just wait for the sale and manually open your door.

You posted no information on the unit itself. No one will be able to help you with out that.ThereAndBackAgain wrote: ↑ A related question - one of my garage door openers started "acting" on its own. What I mean is, it will randomly turn the light on or partially open the door by itself. I've noticed it and promptly unplugged the beast. I've tried it several times since and it is still behaving this way. Any idea what the reason might be? I am using my garage as a workshop, so don't need to open the door often, but I am wondering if I should get a new unit or if there is a way to reset the one I have.
Thanks!

Yes indeed. I have a friend with a remote ceiling fan and at times during the night his fan is activated Or was until he turned the thing off at the wall.

How about resetting the unit and re-program the remotes?ThereAndBackAgain wrote: ↑ A related question - one of my garage door openers started "acting" on its own.
