What horsepower garage door opener do I need?

Single car door (under 10 ft wide): 1/2 HP is sufficient. Double car door (16 ft): 3/4 HP recommended. Heavy or insulated doors: 1 HP or 1-1/4 HP. Most homeowners are fine with 1/2 HP for standard doors.

Why does garage door opener installation cost different in Dallas than other cities?

Dallas's costs reflect local labor rates driven by the finance-tech-telecom economy, humid-subtropical climate conditions that affect materials and scheduling, and moderate permitting requirements. The competitive labor market also influences competitive pricing.
