The Service
What Is Doorbell & Video Doorbell Installation?
Doorbell installation covers fitting a traditional or video doorbell — wired, wireless or smart — including the chime, transformer and any wiring needed for a hardwired supply.
Hardwired video doorbells often need an existing doorbell transformer upgraded or a new, correctly rated supply, because smart doorbells draw more power than an old chime to run continuously.

Why It Matters
Why Professional Electrical Work Matters
A hardwired video doorbell needs a transformer rated for its continuous draw. An undersized transformer causes the doorbell to drop offline, drain its battery or fail to charge.
A correctly installed, weatherproof doorbell — with the right isolation and protection — is reliable and safe, especially where it's exposed to the elements at the front door.
Costs & Pricing
Costs & What Affects Pricing
Pricing for electrical work depends on the job. Here are the factors that typically affect the cost of this service.
- The doorbell type (wired, wireless, video, smart)
- Whether the transformer needs upgrading
- Whether new wiring is needed
- The chime type (mechanical, digital, smart plug-in)
- Whether a smart hub or additional chimes are included
A simple wireless doorbell is quick; a hardwired video doorbell with a transformer upgrade costs more. Tell us what you have.
