In response to rising energy prices, many homeowners are making an effort to reduce their energy consumption. If you count yourself among these homeowners, you’ll be disappointed to learn that your garage door may be reducing your home’s overall efficiency, especially if you use it as a living space. Here are a few common causes of energy inefficiency in the garage.
Poor Insulation
Since your garage door is all that separates your garage from the outdoors, you need to make sure it’s adequately insulated. Unfortunately, a thin, wooden garage door is not going to cut it. In order to keep outdoor air out, you should consider a fiberglass door with ample insulation and thick windows.
Cracks and Gaps
If your garage door is old or damaged, valuable indoor air could be leaking out, causing your heating or cooling system to work harder than necessary. Gaps along your door’s perimeter could also take their toll on your utility bill. In order to close these gaps and cracks, you might consider getting a new door and/or installing weather stripping.
Rusty Components
Every part of your garage door must be properly maintained in order to achieve maximum efficiency. If you fail to lubricate the hinges, for example, your garage door opener will use more energy while opening. Components that are too rusted need to be replaced.
Old Opener
Garage door openers have come a long way over the past few decades. If your garage is still sporting a 20 year-old opener, you should consider a newer, more efficient option. A new opener from LiftMaster can open and close your garage door smoothly, quietly, and without using much energy.
If you’d like to know how else you can make your garage door more efficient, contact the experts of Florida Door Solutions. We’re a second-generation family-owned garage door company staffed by licensed, bonded, and insured professionals.

When most people think of garage door openers, they think of small, noisy machines that hang from the garage ceiling. While the majority of homes still have ceiling openers, sophisticated jackshaft openers are becoming more popular every day. LiftMaster, the most trusted name in garage door openers for the past 40 years, has recently come out with the extraordinary 3800 Residential Jackshaft Garage Door Opener. Here are a few of its advantages:
More Ceiling Space
Instead of attaching to your garage’s ceiling, the 3800 fits on the wall adjacent to your garage door. This is especially important if your garage ceiling is exceptionally high, or if you need the space for storage. The 3800 also comes with a 200-watt light that you can install anywhere in your garage.
Smooth Operation
Homeowners frequently complain about the noise from their garage door openers. Luckily, the 3800 Residential Jackshaft Opener barely makes a peep as it opens and closes your garage door. Also, the enclosed gear case provides constant lubrication for smoother operation.
Impressive Power
Homeowners who opt for heavy garage doors often have to open and close their doors manually. However, the LiftMaster 3800 is powerful enough to lift doors of all shapes, weights, and sizes. The 24V DC motor doesn’t just open and close your garage door, it does so at varied speeds.
Optional Battery Backup
The occasional power outage can make opening your garage door much more difficult. If you can’t open your door manually, then your vehicle could be trapped for several hours. Luckily, you can avoid this problem with an optional battery backup. The optional Alternate Power Source can also permanently power the 3800 when no outlets are within reach.
If you’re interested in the LiftMaster 3800, don’t hesitate to contact Florida Door Solutions. We also offer plenty of ceiling-mounted garage door openers in case you’re looking for something a bit more traditional. Call us today at (407) 378-4867, and get one step closer to a new, sophisticated garage door opener.
