When your garage door opener isn’t working properly, the best option is to repair the unit rather than replace it, depending on a couple factors. If your garage door opener is old and worn and your garage door company is concerned that there are safety issues, they’ll typically replace it. It will also need to be replaced if it doesn’t meet federal regulations.
