Save Energy with Automatic Doors

A house consumes energy and if it has a garage or automatic doors a little more. However, in a private house you do not see as much energy consumption as in an urbanization or building with community doors that have a greater activity. In this case, it will be noticed. The tips to save with your automatic garage door are the following:False belief about opening the doorMost of the time we have the habit of thinking that by opening the automatic door of our garage completely, either in our house or in a communal garage, if we return to the command the door will stop and so less energy will be spent. This is an error because in reality, at the community doors we never let the door stop at the opening.

The reason is safety: if a car sees that the door is opening and begins to pass, but another owner gives the command, that door would stop and the car that is passing could hit the door itself. Increase the waiting time of the doorNormally, community garages have a constant daily activity due to the number of vehicles that pass through it. For this reason, you should check the time that the automatic door is kept waiting since every time it is opened and closed it is consuming electricity. If the door is more open, in that time, in addition to more cars passing, electricity is saved since the engine is stopped. The type of automation is importantIf before you could differentiate between the hydraulic folding motor, perfect for doors installed where there was heavy traffic, the electromechanical engine recommended for private homes, since both lasted more or less the same, but their consumption was different; now 24V hydraulic equipment is used in all automatic doors.

The control panel consumes or does notThe automatic door frame consumes very little electricity. Some people believe otherwise and choose to unplug it every time it is not used. This is a mistake because then what you are doing is ending with the comfort that automatism gives you. Those who really consume as we mentioned before are the active engines. The conclusion is that the installation of a door with motor in a garage or building will suppose a high energetic cost if the opportune measures are not taken. Many owners do not know that making an investment in a door for their community or home is saving in the long term, as long as the 'Energy and Sustainability' standards are met.
