Why Does Your Garage Door Open Slowly During Hot Conroe Summers?

Extreme Texas heat which frequently stays above 95°F causes the metal components of your garage door system to expand and increases the viscosity of old lubricants. This expansion can create friction in the tracks while the heat may also cause the opener's circuit board or capacitor to overheat and operate less efficiently. If your door is moving slowly it is often a sign that the motor is working overtime to overcome heat induced resistance and a professional tune-up is recommended to avoid a total motor burnout.

How Does the Conroe Humidity Affect Your Garage Door's Performance?

High humidity levels in Southeast Texas often exceeding 80% can cause metal components like tracks and hinges to oxidize and rust more rapidly than in drier climates. This moisture also causes wooden garage doors to swell or warp which can lead to alignment issues or put excessive strain on your opener motor. To combat these effects Conroe homeowners should use a high-quality silicone based lubricant on all moving parts at least twice a year to prevent seizing.
