Doorbell wiring in Somerset: local conditions matter
Plenty of homes around Somerset were built in the 1950s through the 1970s with 100 amp services and far fewer circuits than a household uses today. When we carry out doorbell wiring in Hillsdale County, we make sure the existing system can support the work and tell you plainly if it cannot.
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 Somerset.
