Understanding Garage Door Opener Types by Horsepower (HP)
Garage door openers are primarily classified by horsepower (HP), which determines their lifting capacity and suitability for various door sizes and materials. The correct horsepower ensures optimal performance, preventing strain on the motor and extending the lifespan of both the opener and the garage door.
- 1/3 HP Openers: Suitable for lightweight single garage doors made of non-insulated steel or aluminum. Ideal for standard residential doors without added insulation.
- 1/2 HP Openers: The most common for residential properties, capable of handling standard single or double doors, including those with moderate insulation or wood composite materials.
- 3/4 HP Openers: Designed for heavier garage doors, such as fully insulated double doors or solid wood doors. Ideal for residential properties with larger or custom doors.
-
- 1 HP Openers and Higher: Best suited for oversized, commercial, and industrial garage doors where maximum lifting power is necessary.
