Which system is better, chain or belt drive?
I'm looking at purchasing and installing a electric garage door opener. Which system is better, chain or belt drive? Our house is brand new so I want to install the best.

As you can see in the attached article below, belt drive garage door openers are significantly quieter than chain drive. Your inventory suggests that your garage is attached to the house. Therefore, I would opt for a belt drive. Some of the newest garage door openers come equipped with DC motors, which are also extremely quiet. This is particularly important if there's a room above the garage.
