As a homeowner who recently installed a new garage door opener, I was curious about the amount of amps it uses. I wanted to make sure that my electrical system could handle the load of the new opener and that it wouldn’t cause any issues.
After some research and according to Garage Door Repair Temple TX, I found that the amount of amps used by a garage door opener can vary depending on the type and model. Typically, most garage door openers draw between 3 to 10 amps during normal operation.
The opener that I installed is a belt-driven model that is designed to operate using a 120-volt electrical outlet. According to the manufacturer, it draws approximately 6 amps during normal operation.
To ensure that my electrical system was capable of handling the load of the new opener, I checked the electrical panel in my home to see if I had any available circuits that could handle the 6-amp draw. Luckily, I had an available 15-amp circuit that was suitable for the opener.
I also consulted with a licensed electrician to make sure that the electrical system in my home was up to code and that the new opener wouldn’t cause any issues. They checked the wiring and the breaker and confirmed that everything was in good working order.
Overall, based from Garage Door Repair Temple TX, I’m happy to report that my new garage door opener is working great and hasn’t caused any issues with my electrical system. It’s important to choose an opener that is compatible with your electrical system and has the appropriate amp rating for your needs to ensure safe and reliable operation.
