Your local choice for doorbell wiring in Farmington, MI
Summer storms and winter ice both cause outages and surges across Southeast Michigan. Customers in Farmington often call us after one of those events has exposed a weak point. Our electricians serving Oakland County approach doorbell wiring with reliability and protection in mind.
Powering a video doorbell properly
A wired video doorbell that keeps going offline or will not ring the indoor chime is almost always short on power. Many older transformers put out 10 or 16 volts at low capacity, while smart doorbells generally want 16 to 24 volts with more capacity behind it. We locate the transformer, replace it with the right one and check voltage at the door. Cold Michigan winters are hard on battery doorbells, so a wired connection is well worth having in Farmington.
