* Basic opener: $150-$300
* Mid-range opener: $300-$500
* Premium opener: $500-$1,000
In addition to the cost of the opener itself, you may also need to pay for installation labor, which can range from $100 to $300. If you need to replace your existing garage door, the cost can range from $500 to $2,000.
Here are some factors that can affect the cost of installation:
* The type of garage door opener: There are three main types of garage door openers: chain drive, belt drive, and screw drive. Chain drive openers are the least expensive, but they are also the loudest. Belt drive openers are more expensive, but they are quieter and more durable. Screw drive openers are the most powerful, but they are also the most expensive and the loudest.
* The features included: Some garage door openers come with additional features, such as remote controls, keypads, and motion sensors. These features can add to the cost of the installation.
* The complexity of the installation: If your garage door is located in a difficult-to-reach area, or if there are other obstacles that need to be overcome, the installation may be more complex and therefore more expensive.
To get an accurate estimate of the cost of installing an electric garage door opener, it is best to contact a qualified garage door contractor.
