Garage Door Opener Repair Edmonton
Expert garage door opener repair services in Edmonton. We fix remote issues, motor problems, sensor alignment, and all opener malfunctions. Fast, reliable service with same-day appointments available.
Common Opener Problems We Fix
Remote Control Issues
Remotes can stop working due to dead batteries, programming problems, or signal interference. We diagnose remote issues, replace batteries, reprogram remotes, and repair or replace damaged units. We can also program new remotes, keypads, and smart home devices.
Motor Problems
Opener motors can fail due to age, wear, or electrical issues. Signs include the opener not responding, making unusual noises, or running but not moving the door. We diagnose motor problems and repair or replace motors as needed, often extending opener life significantly.
Sensor Alignment Issues
Safety sensors that are misaligned, dirty, or damaged prevent the door from closing. This is a common issue that's usually quick to fix. We clean sensors, realign them properly, and replace damaged sensors to restore safe operation.
Gear and Sprocket Wear
Over time, opener gears and sprockets can wear out, causing noisy operation or failure to move the door. We replace worn gears and sprockets, often making old openers run like new again.
Electrical Problems
Electrical issues can prevent openers from working. These include tripped breakers, loose wiring, faulty circuit boards, or power supply problems. We diagnose and repair electrical issues safely and effectively.
Chain and Belt Issues
Chain-drive and belt-drive openers can develop problems with their drive mechanisms. Chains can become loose or break, while belts can stretch or slip. We adjust, repair, or replace drive mechanisms to restore proper operation.
What We Do
Our opener repair service starts with comprehensive diagnostics to identify the root cause of the problem. We test all opener functions, check electrical connections, inspect mechanical components, and verify safety features are working properly.
We repair all types of openers including chain-drive, belt-drive, screw-drive, and direct-drive models. Our technicians carry common parts and can complete most repairs on the first visit. For complex issues, we'll explain the problem and provide repair or replacement options.
All repairs include testing to ensure the opener operates safely and smoothly. We also provide maintenance tips and can schedule preventive maintenance to keep your opener running reliably. Our work is backed by warranty for your peace of mind.
What Affects Opener Repair Cost
Repair costs depend on the specific problem and parts needed. Simple fixes like remote reprogramming or sensor alignment are relatively inexpensive, typically $100-$200. Component replacement costs vary by part - circuit boards, motors, and gears have different price points.
The age and model of your opener affects parts availability and cost. Older models may require harder-to-find parts, while newer models often have readily available components. Opener brand can also influence parts pricing.
Labor costs depend on repair complexity and time required. Some repairs are quick fixes, while others require more extensive work. We always provide detailed estimates so you know the cost before we begin. In some cases, if repair costs are high, we may recommend replacement as a better value.
Safety and Why Professional Repair Matters
Garage door openers contain electrical components that can be dangerous if mishandled. Professional repair ensures work is done safely and correctly, protecting you and your family from electrical hazards. Our technicians are trained in electrical safety and follow all safety protocols.
Proper diagnosis is crucial - what seems like a simple problem might indicate a more serious issue. Professional technicians have the knowledge and tools to identify root causes and prevent future problems. Incorrect repairs can create safety hazards or cause additional damage.
Safety features like photo-eye sensors and auto-reverse mechanisms must work correctly to protect your family. Professional repair ensures these critical safety features are properly maintained and functioning. We test all safety features as part of every repair.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does garage door opener repair cost?

Why won't my garage door opener work?
Common causes include dead batteries in remotes, misaligned safety sensors, tripped circuit breaker, disconnected power cord, or motor failure. Our technicians can quickly diagnose the issue and explain the solution before repairing.
Can you repair all brands of garage door openers?
Yes, we repair all major opener brands including LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Craftsman, Linear, and more. Our technicians are trained on residential and commercial openers of all types and models.
How do I know if my opener needs repair or replacement?
Most opener issues can be repaired. Signs you might need replacement include frequent breakdowns, excessive noise, very old age (15+ years), or when repair costs approach replacement cost. We'll advise whether repair or replacement makes more sense for your situation.
Why is my garage door opener so loud?
Loud operation can indicate worn gears, loose mounting, lack of lubrication, or motor problems. We can diagnose the cause and often reduce noise significantly through repair and maintenance. Newer belt-drive openers are also much quieter than older chain-drive models.
Can you program new remotes for my opener?
Yes, we can program new remotes, keypads, and smart home devices to work with your existing opener. We also repair or replace lost or damaged remotes. Programming typically takes just a few minutes.
What should I do if my opener won't close?
First check if something is blocking the safety sensors (the small eyes near the floor). Clean the sensor lenses and ensure nothing is in the path. If sensors are aligned and clean but it still won't close, the sensors may need replacement or there could be a wiring issue.
Do you offer opener maintenance services?
Yes, we provide preventive maintenance to keep your opener running smoothly. This includes lubrication, sensor cleaning and alignment, safety feature testing, and general inspection. Regular maintenance can prevent costly repairs and extend opener life.
