Expert Garage Door Opener installation

   Overhead Garage Door Opener:  

• Requires overhead space for the motor unit and the rail system.
• May limit the available overhead storage space in the garage.
•  Typically mounted on the ceiling of the garage, parallel to the garage door.
• Uses a rail system to pull the door up and down from above.
•  The noise level can vary, with chain-driven systems typically being noisier than belt-driven ones.  
• Visible when the garage door is in the open position.
• Tends to be more noticeable as it hangs from the ceiling. 
• Typically uses a chain, belt, or screw drive system to operate the garage door.
• The drive mechanism is connected to the door via a trolley that moves along the overhead rail.
•  Compatible with various types of garage doors, including sectional, one-piece, and canopy doors. 

 Wall-Mount Opener: 

•  Ideal for garages with limited overhead space as it doesn't require a ceiling-mounted rail.  
• Installation is generally simpler, as it doesn't require a ceiling-mounted rail system.
• Maintenance involves periodic checks on the wall-mount unit and the garage door's mechanical components.
•  Often considered quieter, especially with direct-drive or jackshaft systems.  
• Concealed on the wall beside the garage door.
• Offers a cleaner and more streamlined look, especially for modern garage designs. 
• Uses a direct-drive or jackshaft system, where the motor is connected directly to the garage door's torsion bar.
• No overhead rail system is required.
•  Compatible with sectional garage doors, particularly those with torsion spring systems.
