Openers that keep working in power outages, so you can still get in and out of the garage.
When the power goes out, a standard opener stops working and you are left pulling the manual release. A battery backup keeps the opener running for a number of cycles, so you can still get in and out of the garage. Homeowners in Nashville appreciate it after storms, and many newer openers include a battery option.
We check whether your opener supports a backup battery or whether a new opener is the better route. We install the battery unit, test it and show you how the system alerts you when the battery needs attention. We also explain how to use the manual release safely in an outage, and when it is best not to use it, such as when the door is unbalanced. Storms in Middle Tennessee can knock out power for hours, and a garage door that will not move can trap a car. A backup battery is a small addition that removes that worry, and we can test it with you during installation so you know how it behaves.
A rechargeable battery powers the opener when mains power is off, giving you a number of open and close cycles.
