Open Your Garage Door During Power Outages with LiftMaster’s Battery Backup

Extreme weather conditions have become more frequent over the past decade. This has caused an increase in power outages, which can impact garage door operation. Because 70 percent of homeowners enter their homes through their garages, it’s important to be able to open garage doors during power outages. A power outage is more than an inconvenience; it’s a major safety and security issue.

“Even though a garage door can be manually opened, having to get out of your car in the freezing cold or a rainstorm to lift and open your garage door by hand can become a major inconvenience and safety issue,” said Jackie Lorenty, LiftMaster Vice President. “Additionally, in some cases, time is of the essence. When you need to get your car out of the garage quickly to flee from a hurricane or a forest fire, you might not have the extra time it takes to manually open your garage door when the power is out.”

LiftMaster garage door openers, powered by myQ® smart technology, offer an extensive lineup of battery-backup-enabled garage door openers. LiftMaster was the first company to include a battery-backup system in a garage door opener, allowing homeowners to safely get in and out of their garages even when the power is out.

The following LiftMaster garage door openers offer peace of mind and added functionality to accommodate a wide range of lifestyles. All are integrated with myQ technology and compliant with California SB-969, which mandates all garage door openers sold or installed after July 1, 2019, have battery backups.
