Common Issues We Fix

• Gate motors getting stuck, opening or closing slowly or even just being unresponsive
• Garage doors getting jammed or misaligned in many shared driveways or even from older, poorly maintained installations
• CCTV cameras going offline, getting blurry, or simply just not recording
• Access control units, at entrances and exits, not recognizing tags, codes or biometrics
• Intercom systems with poor sound and video 
• Connectivity issues between devices
• Damage from power surges, load shedding or even just environmental wear and tear

Preventative Maintenance

One of the biggest mistakes we see very often is homeowners only calling when something breaks. The truth is: a simple service every 6–12 months can extend the lifespan of your automation systems dramatically.

Maintenance includes:

  • Lubrication & alignment

  • Checking springs, rollers and cables

  • Inspecting wiring and isolation

  • Testing safety features

  • Firmware updates

  • Cleaning motor housings and weather seals

  • Checking surge protection and load-shedding resilience

Most breakdowns we repair could have been prevented and maintenance is always cheaper than emergency repairs.

Planet Automation installed a new garage motor for me in April. Their quote was competitive and their service great. Most importantly, their after sales service is also fantastic as when I reported a funny sound when opening my garage recently, they did not hesitate to come out to investigate and adjust.
