FAAC Electric Gate Repair in Orlando: What to Know First

FAAC electric gate repair in Orlando typically runs $185 to $520 depending on whether you’re dealing with a failed capacitor, a worn swing arm, or a control board that’s finally given up in the humidity. We’re an independent FAAC service provider, not a factory shop, and we give you a written price before any work starts. If your gate won’t open, won’t close, or beeps at you when it shouldn’t, this page tells you what’s actually wrong and what it costs to fix. Call (321) 465-7089 any time, day or night, and a live person answers.

This page is for Orlando homeowners who own a FAAC swing or slide gate and need it working again. Not a handyman’s guess. Not a “we can take a look” estimate that doubles later. We name the part, we name the price, and we send a tech whose name and photo you get before he shows up.

How FAAC Products Fail – and How We Fix Them

FAAC builds genuinely good operators, but Orlando’s heat and rain punish every brand differently. Here’s what we see most on FAAC jobs in this city.

• FAAC 400 and 402 swing operators eating capacitors. The 400-series runs a hydraulic pump, and the start capacitor is the first thing to cook in Orlando summers. Symptom: the gate hums but doesn’t move, or it moves half a gate-leaf and stalls. We replace with a capacitor rated for continuous Florida heat, not the bargain one that lasts eleven months. Cost is usually under $250 parts and labor.
• FAAC 750 and 770 slide gate control boards showing “error 60” or dead display. The 750/770 series is common on Orlando driveways, and the control board sits in a metal box that becomes an oven in August. Error 60 means the board lost its limit-setting memory, often after a power surge from an afternoon thunderstorm. If the board still powers on, we reflash the limits and add a surge protector at the motor. If it’s fried, we quote an OEM board or a quality aftermarket equivalent before touching anything.
• FAAC S418 and S450 hydraulic swing arms leaking at the piston seal. You’ll see oil weeping down the arm and a gate that moves slower each week. The seal kit is an OEM-only job if you want it to last, because aftermarket seals for these arms rarely hold a perfect tolerance. We pull the arm, reseal it, and bench-test it for full travel before reinstalling.
• FAAC photobeam (safety sensor) pairs failing from wet conduit. Orlando rain gets into underground conduit and shorts the 24V line to the photobeams. The gate will refuse to close, or it closes then immediately reverses. We don’t just replace the sensor. We pull new wiring, seal the conduit ends, and test the beam alignment with the gate in motion. Skip the conduit fix and you’ll be back here in six months.
• FAAC remote controls (XT2 and XT4) losing sync after power cycles. This one’s specific to FAAC: the receiver’s rolling code memory can get wiped when the board resets after a long outage. Reprogramming is a 20-minute fix, but if it recurs we add a battery backup to the control board so Orlando’s frequent brief outages stop scrambling the memory.

Our FAAC Electric Gate Repair Process

We’ve done enough FAAC jobs in Orlando to know what a real repair looks like from the first call to the final test. Here’s the order of it.

1. 1
   You call (321) 465-7089. A live person answers and asks what the gate is doing, what model you have if you know it, and when you’re available. No voicemail trees.
2. 2
   We send the tech’s name and photo before the visit. Cole Rafferty or one of our Warden techs shows up in a marked vehicle, photo ID badge on, and matches the photo you already have. That’s the Threshold Standard, and it’s not optional on any job.
3. 3
   Diagnostics. We test the arm or the motor, check the control board for logged errors, and trace the safety sensor loop. On a FAAC, we’re looking for the failure mode specific to your series, not just “it’s broke.”
4. 4
   Written price, on paper, before any work starts. You see the part, the labor, and the total. If a used part can be a safe stopgap, we’ll say so. If the fix is a ol2 capacitor, the invoice will say ol2, not “minimum service charge plus parts.”
5. 5
   The repair. We use OEM FAAC parts when the function depends on tolerances (swing arm seals, limit switches, safety edges) and quality aftermarket when it genuinely makes no difference (capacitors, remotes, some boards). Every repair gets a function test with the gate under load.
6. 6
   Cleanup and the 365-Day Done Right Promise. We clean the work area, walk you through what was done, and hand you the written guarantee. If the same repair fails within a year, the return visit is free.
