Garage door openers have a "starting watts" and "running watts" ratings. A 1/4 horsepower generally has a starting watts rating of 1,100 and running of 550 watts. A 1/2 horsepower opener uses 1,400 starting watts and 725 running watts.

These are general ratings and to be more precise you would need to know the brand, model and other information on a specific opener.

How many watts does a garage use?

Let's start with a typical 110 VAC service. You probably have 20 amp breakers in the service in the garage, and with at least 2 breakers, we have some idea of the theoretical electrical consumption. Remember, Volts X Amps = WATTS, so 110VAC X (2 breakers X 20AMPs) = 110 X 2 X 20 = 2200 WATTS
