Best Type Of Garage Door Opener?



Question:
I have a 2-car garage with a single 16' x 7' overhead door. It's a heavy door. The opener is a Genie Pro 98, about 14 years old, with a screw drive. Very noisy. Sounds like it's on its last leg, and lately I find that the door occasionally opens by itself. I need to have my entire opener assembly replaced. A LiftMaster belt drive was suggested, but I'm not sure what to get. The LiftMaster web site state that their chain drive is the most popular. I would appreciate any suggestions as to make and type of opener to get. I'm very big on quality and security. Thanks in advance.

Answer:
I just replaced a chain drive with a belt drive from Home Depot about 3 months ago, and it's whisper quite. Couldn't be happier. The newer openers have some cool features, like a motion sensor light. Mine also has the temp and time on the control, and came with a remote opener that can be programmed with a code, so you could open your garage from the outside.
