Your local choice for doorbell wiring in Houghton Lake Heights, MI
Up north, power can be out for a while when a storm rolls through. In Houghton Lake Heights and the rest of Roscommon County, wells, septic pumps and furnaces all depend on electricity, so reliability matters more than it does in town. We keep that in mind whenever we take on doorbell wiring, and we are happy to talk about backup power while we are there.
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 Houghton Lake Heights.
