Recommending Liftmaster to my clients

Yes, sometimes my clients complain when I recommend Liftmaster. Liftmaster openers are more expensive, and there are other brands out there that can give the same functions for less. So why do I love to work with Liftmaster garage door openers and recommend them to our clients? As you saw in the above pros, the liftmaster opener is more durable than other openers on the market. I recommend them to my clients, especially if they have a larger garage door. Liftmaster openers can withstand heavier doors. Liftmaster has more models to choose from to fit bigger, heavier doors, and due to durability, they last longer. Also, it is definitely cheaper to have the Liftmaster opener in the long run.

I put maintenance under the cons, and the reason is no one likes to do maintenance, but all machines need to go under some lubrication and love once in a while. However, Liftmaster openers require less maintenance, and you can probably do some of the maintenance yourself. I always recommend checking the whole system at least once a year—good maintenance equals long life for the entire garage door system.

Features and Security

Liftmaster openers come with a variety of security features and safety features. Connecting your home to your smartphone is a really great feature. You can open the door even if you are not there. Liftmaster comes with MyQ Technology that allows you to do so. Liftmaster also has a code-generating technology that generates new code with every remote click. And all this technology comes with a backup battery so even if you lose power, you can still operate your garage door. The automatic close function is excellent; it will automatically close the garage door after a set time, so if you forget to close the door or your hands are full, the door will close automatically. Other safety features are motion detector lights, safety sensors, and Homelink compatibility.

So, I hope this article will answer some of your concerns when I recommend Liftmaster. I realize it is the more expensive option on the market, but I love the durability and high quality of the system. I can trust the system to last longer, and I know you will appreciate the quality and functionality of the system.
