The three openers in our Door Builder

ModelComes withInstalledFits when
LiftMaster 2220L chain drive3/4 HP, with camera and Wi-Fi$574The garage is detached or noise does not matter, and you want the lowest price of the three.
LiftMaster 6580L belt drive1 HP, quiet, with camera and battery backup$804There is a bedroom or living space above or beside the garage: a belt drive is the quieter one.
LiftMaster 98022 wall-mountBattery backup, frees the ceiling$1,049You want the ceiling clear for storage or a car lift, or there is no room for a rail. It mounts on the wall beside the door and turns the spring shaft, so the door must have torsion springs.

The same prices show in the Door Builder when you add an opener to a new door.

Safety

No photo eyes near the floor? Check how old the opener is

The 1993 federal rule

Every residential garage door opener made for sale in the US since January 1, 1993 has to meet a federal safety standard, 16 CFR Part 1211. It must reverse when the closing door meets an obstruction, and it needs a second safety system on top of that: a pair of photo eyes near the floor at the bottom of the tracks, an edge sensor on the door, or a wall button you have to hold down the whole time the door closes.

If your opener has none of those, it was made before the rule or its safety devices have been taken off. Either way it does not protect anyone in the doorway. Any opener sold new has to meet the standard, including the three in the table above.

Choosing

Before you pick one

Noise near a living space
Compare the belt drive, and ask whether worn rollers are adding to the noise; roller replacement is a separate, smaller job.
You want the ceiling clear
The wall-mount opener works only with torsion springs, so check which springs the door has first. How to tell.
Phone control or battery backup
Check which features come with the exact model; the table lists them for all three.
The old opener works but struggles
Check the door before the opener. A door that is hard to lift by hand has a spring problem, and a stronger opener will not fix it: see spring replacement.

"I highly recommend Eric, we had him fix our garage door few months ago, recently we were having some issues with it. I called Eric on the weekend and he immediately answered the phone, and came within an hour to our place to fix it. I was extremely impressed about how responsive and thorough professional Eric is."

FAQs · Openers

Quick answers before you call.

How much does a new garage door opener cost installed?+
Opener installation runs $574-$1,229 installed. The final price depends on the model (chain vs. belt vs. jackshaft), feature set (Wi-Fi / battery backup / smart-home integration), and the wiring condition in your garage. Wall-mount jackshaft units sit at the top of the range. We'll quote the exact total before ordering anything.
What's the best garage door opener?+
The right opener depends on your door, your garage and how you use it, so we don't push the most expensive model. The LiftMaster openers we price up front: LiftMaster 2220L chain drive, 3/4 HP, with camera and Wi-Fi ($574 installed); LiftMaster 6580L belt drive, 1 HP, quiet, with camera and battery backup ($804 installed); LiftMaster 98022 wall-mount (jackshaft), with battery backup, frees the ceiling ($1,049 installed). A belt drive is the quiet choice under a bedroom, and a wall-mount frees the ceiling. Each costs the same with a new door or on its own.
Can you install a smart Wi-Fi opener?+
Yes. LiftMaster Wi-Fi openers work with the myQ app, so you can open, close and check the door from your phone, and some models have a built-in camera. Setup includes connecting the opener to your Wi-Fi and pairing the app on your phone.
How long do garage door openers last?+
It depends on the model, how often the door runs and whether the door itself is balanced: a heavy, out-of-balance door wears an opener out faster. A worn drive gear or a failed capacitor is a repair, not a new opener: opener repair runs $195-$450, against $574-$1,229 for a new one installed. Lifespans by drive type are at /tips/opener-lifespan/.
