Thank you - I was referred to Guardian by my ex Advantage sales person (Tony) and he mentioned the exact same thing.

Thank you 717. Looks like Halo pro looks pretty good for less money. I have 11"7" garage and being able to lift to 82" would be great with Guardian. https://halocarlifts.com/products/pro-model-double-wide

I am currently considering the Guardian side by side lift after fall out of my order with Advantage Lifts (covered in a separate thread). I like the fact that it's almost identical to the Advantage side by side I ordered/considered but recently I've also heard great things about Wildfire. I...

I believe so. I am not all too technical on this but I've provided link below. I choose to lock out mine as I don't want to charge my EV using generator, even if it can handle it. https://www.zillerelectric.com/products/generac-6873-smart-management-module-smm...

Quick follow up. I ended up spending extra to do this right. 1) Subpanel to allow 60amp circuit and a couple other circuits for the future 2) Generac load shed module - to completely lockout 60amp EV during power outage with Generac running. Thanks for everyone's help.

Thank you all! My door is about 300lbs so it's pretty heavy. My previous opener (also Liftmaster) didn't have this mechanism.

Hello, Recently installed Liftmaster 98022 side opener which came with 841LM deadbolt style locking mechanism. While I like the security part, the noise is pretty loud and concerned with eventually failing when I need to open the door. My understanding is you can just unplug this from the...

Damn AI sounds convincing when a dummy like me reads it :D

Again, I can't thank everyone enough for your help. Just had another quick follow up as to where to place my 60amp EV circuit breaker. I was originally planning to put the EV circuit on subpanel but saw this on ChatGPT: Some installers place the load-shed module after the subpanel, like...

Ok, slight revision based on feedback about potential SMM failures :D I would really prefer to keep my set up simple and not add more points of failure. So, how about Subpanel with 240 60amp for EV and 240 20amp. However, just charge at 30amps - I believe I can do this even though I have...

I've heard about the failures on the older models. What does fail open mean - I think they reversed this on the new one or something like that. So, when the board fails, you can still use the EV charger?

I am not quite following installing a meter main but running the charger at 30amp is interesting. I guess I can always crank it up to 60amp when I need a quicker charge once in awhile but I would be OK with 40amp - 32amp continuous charging. I do wonder if my 16kw generac can handle this extra...

I am going to get a couple more electricians out soon but I think this is what I am leaning towards to avoid tandem and over loading generator: 1. Subpanel - 100amp (for both 240V 60amp EV and 220V 20amp Lift) 2. Install Generac 7006 100amp load shed (for the entire subpanel with both EV and...

Wow - that's a good point. I am not planning to bolt mine down so shifting with 1/2" rubber doesn't sound good to me. I may be better off just using POR and waxing it regularly?

Thank you - I was hoping for 1/2" but this might work as well.
