Try the no-cost fix before booking
Both units — mounted near the floor each side of the opening — should show a steady light. Wipe the lenses; in a Eagle Mountain winter, condensation and frost film on the lens breaks the beam as effectively as a cobweb, and a dry cloth on both lenses is the whole repair. then loosen the wing nut, aim the sensor at its partner until the light holds steady, and retighten.
A light that still will not steady after cleaning and aiming points up the wire: the thin bell-wire run to the opener gets stapled, chewed and pulled, and tracing it is what the $125–$300 visit is actually for.
