"American Home Contractors and Hugo in particular were great to work with. We had multiple jobs done which required several trips and Hugo kept us informed and worked around several weather delays. He relocated and installed a new attic fan, hooked up the bathroom fan to a new roof vent, insulated a pipe in the attic, installed apron flashing on four windows, painted the flue vent, reconnected some lose siding and replaced three pieces of rotted trim and painted it. The work appears to be top notch and we appreciate the hard work and long hours Hugo put in! I would definitely recommend this company and most certainly Hugo to everyone. We also had American Home Contractors replace our gutters and install gutter guards. They did an excellent job with that as well."

Look for specific performance issues that suggest sensor problems. If your garage door begins to close but then reverses immediately, refuses to close completely, or operates inconsistently, your sensors may be failing. Check the indicator lights on your sensors—properly functioning units typically display steady lights (often one red and one green). Flashing or unlit indicators generally signal problems. If adjusting and cleaning the sensors doesn't resolve these issues, replacement is likely necessary.
The lifespan of garage door sensors varies significantly based on usage patterns, environmental conditions, and product quality. Factors that can reduce longevity include exposure to moisture, accumulation of dust and debris, physical impacts, and electrical surges. Regular maintenance—particularly keeping the sensor lenses clean and ensuring proper alignment—can help maximize their functional life. When sensors begin to fail repeatedly despite maintenance efforts, replacement typically offers the most reliable solution.
Compatibility between new sensors and existing garage door openers depends on several factors. Many current sensor models are designed to work with older opener systems, but it's essential to verify compatibility before purchase. Your opener's user manual or manufacturer's website should list compatible sensor models. In some cases, adapters or additional wiring may be necessary to connect newer sensors to older systems. Consulting with a garage door professional can help identify the most compatible replacement options for your specific setup.
Postponing the replacement of malfunctioning sensors creates significant safety hazards. Without proper sensor function, your garage door may close unexpectedly on vehicles, possessions, pets, or family members. The potential for property damage and personal injury makes timely sensor replacement a priority. Additionally, operating a door with faulty sensors places extra strain on the opener mechanism, potentially leading to more extensive and expensive repairs in the future.
Industry experts recommend inspecting and testing your garage door sensors approximately every three months. A simple test involves initiating door closure and then waving an object (like a broom handle) through the sensor path. The door should immediately stop and reverse if sensors are functioning correctly. Regular testing helps identify potential issues before they lead to complete sensor failure or safety hazards. If your door fails this test, first try cleaning the sensor lenses and checking their alignment before considering replacement.
