It really depends on how heavy your door is.The 1/3 horsepower garage door opener is pretty much for people who want to save money. Only the lightest garage door should be used with those. The 1/3 hp have a smaller work-load rating and do not have as good a warranty as the others have. For most garage doors, a 1/2 horsepower garage door opener is just fine, but if you have a really really heavy door you may need a 3/4 horsepower garage door opener. The 3/4 hp garage door opener is designed for the heavier custom wood garage doors that go over 500lbs in weight.
