Good to Know
Most video doorbells use low-voltage wiring (8-24V) through a plug-in transformer. This doesn't require an electrician. We can install transformers near the door or in an accessible location. If you have existing mechanical doorbell wiring, we can often use it for video doorbells. We'll check the voltage and compatibility. Some old transformers need replacing for smart doorbells. For battery models in cold weather, batteries drain faster. In very cold winters (which we don't get much in Devon), wired models are more reliable.
Frequently Asked Questions about Video doorbell wiring in Sidmouth
How much does video doorbell installation cost?
Video doorbell installation starts at £60 for the first hour. Battery-powered models (just mounting and setup) take 45-60 mins (£60-85). Wired installations with transformer setup take 1.5-2 hours (£85-110).
Can you install Ring doorbells?
Yes, we install all Ring models - battery, wired, and Pro versions. We'll mount the doorbell, connect power if wired, set up WiFi, configure the app, and show you how to use it.
Do video doorbells need an electrician?
Battery models don't need wiring. Low-voltage wired models (Ring, Nest) use transformers and don't need an electrician - we can install them. Mains voltage models may need a qualified electrician for certain work.
What if I don't have existing doorbell wiring?
No problem. Battery-powered models don't need wiring at all - just mounting and WiFi. For wired models, we can install a plug-in transformer nearby or advise on running new low-voltage wiring.
