For Houston homeowners, a reliable warranty can make a significant difference in the long-term satisfaction and security of your investment.
Understanding Electric Gate Warranties
What Does a Standard Electric Gate Warranty Cover?
An electric gate warranty typically covers defects in materials and workmanship for a specified period. Most manufacturers offer warranties that last from one to three years, but this can vary based on the gate type and the components used.
- Parts: Most warranties cover all major mechanical parts like motors, gears, and electrical components.
- Labor: Some warranties also cover the labor costs involved in repairing defects during the warranty period.

What Should You Look for in a Gate Warranty?
When evaluating a warranty, consider the following:
- Length of Coverage: Longer warranties can offer peace of mind but understand what’s covered through each phase.
- Exclusions: Be aware of what is not covered, such as damage due to natural disasters or improper use.
- Transferability: If you sell your property, some warranties can be transferred to the new owner, adding potential value to your home.
