It costs around 100 to 300 dollars for installation labor for a Genie garage door opener, plus cost of opener unit at 150 to 400 dollars, so total cost installed is around 250 to 600 dollars depending on model and complexity. Genie chain drive opener installation is cheapest at 100 to 200 dollars labor, as chain drive is straightforward to install. Belt drive installation is 150 to 250 dollars labor, similar to chain but slightly more for quiet operation setup. Wall mount jackshaft or premium models with battery backup and camera cost 200 to 300 dollars labor due to more complex installation and wiring. Installation includes professional installer removing old opener if needed, assembling and installing new Genie opener, installing safety sensors, programming remotes and keypads, testing operation, and disposing old opener, typically taking 2 to 4 hours. Additional costs include disposal of old opener 20 to 50 dollars, additional wiring or outlet installation 50 to 150 dollars if needed, reinforcement of door if needed, and permit if required. Home Depot and Lowes charge 150 to 350 dollars labor for Genie installation through subcontracted installers. Independent garage door companies may charge 100 to 250 dollars labor. Genie offers installation through authorized dealers. So total cost at retail for Genie opener plus installation is around 300 to 600 dollars.
