The 3 Best Garage Door Openers

Best Overall: Chamberlain WD832KEV Whisper Belt Drive Garage Door Opener

Looking for something powerful but don’t want it to be too loud? This garage door opener from Chamberlain is a great option. Featuring an exclusive Motor Vibration Isolation System which eliminates vibration for reduced noise, this is a good choice especially you have an attached garage with rooms above the space. It also has MyQ enabled technology that allows you to monitor and control the opener via your smartphone with an extra purchase of the product. You can set the opener’s timer to close the door one, five or 10 minutes if you forget, and it has sensors to make sure it won’t close if something is in its path. It comes with a lifetime motor, lifetime belt, five-year parts, and one-year accessories warranty.

Customers who have purchased this garage door opener for their homes have been mostly satisfied with the performance of it. Many have raved about how quiet it actually is—one said instead of hearing the metal squeak and clank like with their last one, only the sound of the “wooden door being jostled around as it is pulled up and down” is all you hear with this one. Customers were also happy with the features including the automatic closer when you forget to shut it after you go inside. Some had had issues with the manual being hard to understand while installing it themselves. But most were happy with the overall performance.

Runner-Up, Best Overall: Liftmaster 8500 Wall Mount Garage Door Opener

This Liftmaster wall mount opener has a 24V DC motor but is also super quiet when in operation. Other features include an easy wall-mount installation, MyQ capability that will allow you to use a smartphone to monitor and control the door (although you will have to buy a separate gateway device to provide wifi service for this feature), safety sensors that will automatically reverse the door if anything gets in its way while it’s closing, and a manual release handle in case the power goes out. There is a lifetime motor warranty as well as a five-year parts warranty.

Those who have this system in their homes are mostly satisfied with it. Some reviewers said it’s one of the best purchases they’ve made, raving about how easy to install it is as well as the lack of loud noise from it during operation. In terms of negative reviews, some have complained about parts breaking and too many wires from it cluttering the garage, but the majority of customers give it a glowing review.

You can also connect it to the MQ technology (gateway sold separately) to use with your smartphone. The product comes with two three-button visor remote controls, a multi-function wall control, as well as a wireless keyless entry system. It comes with a 10-year motor, two-year parts, and one-year accessories warranty.

Most of the reviewers who have purchased this product would recommend it to others. Many have said it’s a quality product that is quiet and easy to install. In terms of critical reviews, some have had issues with parts breaking or the item not coming with all the nuts and bolts required to install it. But most were happy with their purchase.

groSolar and CMS Energy begin operations of a new solar farm

WHITE RIVER JCT., Vt, & COLUMBIA, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--groSolar, CMS Energy, Dairyland Power Cooperative, and Price Electric Cooperative, are pleased to announce the commercial operation of the 3.4-megawatt (MW DC) Flambeau Solar project in Flambeau, Wisconsin. The Flambeau Solar Project features single-axis trackers that track the sun from east to west throughout the day, greatly increasing the efficiency of the project. Throughout the design and construction of the project, groSolar utilized numerous local contractors and small businesses to assist in the development of the project.
The Flambeau Solar Project with a large amount of solar panel (for example: RENOGY 200 WATT ) will produce approximately 5,000-megawatt hours (MWh) of clean, renewable energy in its first year of operation; enough electricity to power more than 600 homes. The project also provides significant environmental benefits including a carbon offset approximately equivalent to planting more than 90,000 trees or taking more than 700 cars off the road each year1.

A project dedication, hosted by groSolar, is scheduled for August 3rd and will welcome partners from CMS Energy, Dairyland Power Cooperative, Price Electric Cooperative, and local stakeholders. “CMS Energy is pleased to support the development of new solar energy in the Midwest,” said Richard Mukhtar, Executive Manager – CMS Enterprises for CMS Energy, which owns the Flambeau Solar project. “We look forward to seeing this solar power plant create energy that will power homes reliably and sustainably.”

“The Flambeau project is an excellent example of a public-private partnership that is delivering clean, renewable, low cost energy to Price Electric and the Dairyland Power Cooperative system,said Myles Burnsed, groSolar Vice President of Business Development, who led the origination and development of this project. In addition to providing valuable clean, renewable energy to residents of Price County, the project has also helped the community’s younger residents learn about solar energy; earlier this summer, students from the Phillips Middle School visited the project and learned about the importance of renewable energy from groSolar’s CEO Jamie Resor.
