When it comes to AC garage doors, we have your best interests in mind with nothing but reliable products to choose from, being equipped with a battery backup system incase of a power outage among other useful features. There are two common AC motor types used in most GDOs and it’s important to understand the difference when you’re looking to purchase a new residential garage door opener. 

The difference between AC and DC garage door opening systems is the type of motor used in them. While an alternating current (AC) goes back and forth between the power source, a direct current (DC) moves in one constant direction. Like many products on the market, there are advantages in purchasing one model over another whether it be price, simplicity or function. AC motors are very simple to power straight from a wall outlet. This makes AC-powered operators easy and inexpensive to use in an application.
