We quote the unit and installation together, itemized in writing. **Safety note** Every install includes photo-eye safety sensors and auto-reverse testing with a real obstruction, so the door stops for anything in its path. Component detail Blue Fox · spec - BELT-DRIVE · 24V DC · WI-FI Questions ## Opener Installation FAQ **Belt drive or chain drive?** Belt drives are much quieter and are the right call if there's a bedroom above or beside the garage. Chain drives cost less and are plenty durable for a detached or unoccupied-above garage. We'll help you weigh it. **Do new openers work when the power is out?** Models with battery backup do, the door keeps opening through an outage, which matters in a monsoon-season power cut. It's an option we recommend for Arizona homes. **Can I open my garage from my phone?** Yes, on Wi-Fi-capable openers. You get app control, alerts if the door is left open, and the ability to let in a delivery remotely. We set it all up during installation. **Will a new opener work with my old door?** In most cases yes, as long as the door is balanced and in good shape. We check the springs and balance first, a new opener on an unbalanced door just wears out early. **How long does installation take?** A standard replacement is typically done in a single visit, including programming and a safety walkthrough. **What opener brands do you install?** All the major brands. We prefer LiftMaster for its reliability and app support, and we also install Genie, Marantec, and Craftsman. If you have a brand preference or want a specific feature, tell us and we'll match it.
