As a mom of 3 teens, there is never a dull moment in our home. To put this in a different way, our garage door goes up and down all day long and all night. From job hopping to friend outings, our home never sleeps.
What has been the most annoying feature of our newer home is the installed garage door opener that we have dealt with for a few years. The noise of the opener going up and down blasts you out of a sleep. My search for the best garage door opener for families opening their door often has ended.

No more chains, no more power lags, just a simple to install, pre-programmed, ready to lift the door up and down with amazing monitoring and diagnostic technology.

Best Garage Door Opener For Families Opening Their Door Often
While today’s post had product provided by Genie Company, all opinions are my own based on usage and comparison of our old garage door opener to our new one! I will always only provide the best of the best for your consideration. Your search for the best garage door opener for families that open their garage door often will come to an end!
Our Genie 3024 is put to the test on a daily basis. Before school, during the day, after school, after dinner, and late at night. In fact, I often compare our garage door opener and door to a revolving door as it never seems to stop it just keeps on its circle of up and down.
Power is important to the unit, but so is a railing system rather than chains. Noise is just awful, but take away the noisy chain-driven unit, change it to a belt unit and suddenly big changes happen. In fact, you will discover the best garage door opener for families that open the door often.
Safety
Kids will be kids and teens will be teens, so safety is a must with a garage door opener. Kids just go through life never considering the ‘what if’. They go through opening doors or closing ones without a second thought. I can not tell you how many times I have said “let the door go UP or Down before you go” but that speech seems to fall to the wayside of a mobile child.
I love the Safe-T-Beam® Non-Contact Reversing System. Why? From side to side there is an invisible beam across the opening and this STOPS and Reverses to open if anything passes through the beam! The (eyes) are on each side of the garage door and these also will help you if you ever need to troubleshoot. (look to make sure these are powered on before digging deeper)
From Install To Use Without Issues
Our door was installed by a pro-installing company in Pittsburgh. The installation was simple and smooth. In less than 2 hours our old garage door opener was gone and the new one installed. As a person with little spare time, and a house filled with kids and activities, this was a true winning moment for me.
The 3024 provides a pre-programmed remote. So to you, it is out of the box and ready to use.
DIY Is Possible
As I mentioned this is a home opener, and it comes complete with a pre-programmed remote. The rail system requires assembly with no additional hardware required. While the powerhead is a workhorse it is lightweight and able to be lifted overhead by just ONE person.
Light Up The Garage
I could not be more thrilled with an opener and this one simple change really makes an impact. Our new 3024 Garage Door Opener offers a light to use even when the door is down. You can turn the light of the opener on and suddenly more light. Think about how many garages do not have lights in them. While we do, the bonus of more light is never shunned in this house! Moreover, the unit contains 2 bulb lighting, not just one, so you really can see much better! Goodbye Dark!
Additionally, we used Genie LED Garage Door Opener Bulbs. The LED Bulbs are made for the door opener. The bulbs provide the light of a 60w bulb but only use 10w! Further, the bulbs offer long life up to 25,000 hours and they are vibration resistant. Consider how many times the opener is going up and down and the unit may vibrate! Finally, our garage location is not the most insulated area, nor are most and the cold air gets in. Genie Bulbs are cold weather tested to -30° C and are rated for damp locations!
Open & Close The Door
Seeking out the best garage door opener for families that open the door often is no challenge. You definitely want the 3024 Genie. The C-Channel rail is not only for strength but aesthetics as well. The noise level is so not an issue anymore.
A 140V DC is not only really strong but really quiet and smooth. The opening and closing are soft from opening to closing. Did I mention you just need to plug this into a standard home outlet? No need to bring in an electrician!
Today’s Tech
We all know how violated our privacy has become in the era of tech, but the Genie Company builds security into your codes! Something called IntelliCode® Access Security System Superior encryption technology (A.K.A rolling codes)! Rolling codes prevents piracy of the radio signal that opens your garage door because it is continually seeking a new code from billions of combinations.
The keypad is an optional accessory, but with our family coming and going it is a must!
Best Garage Door Opener For Families
Now you know which garage door opener is the best for families. The Genie 3024 offers so much tech that is so easy to operate. No more noisy opening and closing of the garage door and of course all kinds of safety built in for you! Lavishly live life out loud choosing the RIGHT opener for your family ~ DANA
