Doorbell Transformer and Chime Install

[@christopherauvenshine2092]

I cannot express how helpful the image at 4:21 was. Thank you so much.

[@TonyBanuelos1911]

Thank you so much . Very educational video I give you a 10 out of 10

[@firedriver8367]

Thanks very much Billy Bob .....it was helpful

😂

[@lunaticfringe8066]

Thank you, I could not find my transformer until I saw your video and found it hidden behind the furnace switch.

[@zoranstanoev]

How did you figure which chime wires go to which terminal?

[@braxal6983]

If you upgrade your transformer to 24V from a 15 volt transformer would that increase possibly damage your chime and or light in the door bell switch making the light run hot and damage the plastic covering the light bulb due the increase in volts? Please advise.

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Whatever voltage the manufacturer recommends for there chime is what I would do 👍

[@braxal6983]

I just did this with a 16V 30VA for a Reolink Wi-Fi doorbell. Upgraded from a 5V 10VA which was in the spare room closet for some reason. Builders...

Anyone have any videos on how to do a three door bell button setup? I have three doors. Possibly 4 doors if I wanted to do one of my interior porch doors?

Meanwhile I'm sitting here with my transformer than is over 60 years old that is still working great trying to figure how have it power a 2nd chime as well...

[@uRaDf]

Noone cares lol use a wireless one cheapo

[@david-tracy]

How come the transformer is fully encased in metal?

[@kexia]

I need help!! I bought a new ring doorbell for my back door. So now I have two. I added another transformer to the existing box with the same power supply And the wires blow up. I don’t know what I did wrong here. Thanks.

Hello, I followed these steps for my Ring Pro 2 installation. My Ring doorbell is working with full power but the chime is not ringing. Now I tested the chime by touching the wires like u said but after attaching the Ring and jumper it stop. Any ideas?

[@czechyour66]

transformer shown shows 20va , 16volt 30 and up to 40va max is show in the pro 2 requirements, i'm trying to still find my old transformer :(

[@OfficialFoodieBeauty]

​@@czechyour66I'm trying to still find my dad after he left for milk.

[@chelzdee88]

Do you need the chime if you have a smart doorbell?

[@chriscurry9201]

No but your smart doorbell won’t be heard in your house, only on your phone

[@shinobu2394]

im just gonna ask this here in case someone can answer. So i bought the 16v 30va transformer that ring sells for my ring doorbell pro 2, so it seems that it may not be enough because the mechanical chime sometimes does not work sometimes for days at a time then it suddenly works again, the video doorbell itself works well. Im thinking of changing to a 24v transformer, will that break my mechanical chime?

[@dannyjohnson9628]

My chime would not work like yours I had to turn it sideways and it works perfectly now every time.

[@Tommy-rf9sw]

Does it matter if the red and white wires are switched on the chime front/trans?

[@CriticalErA]

So I purchased a Eufy doorbell cam and the app notified me that I need to purchase a 16-30 transformer. I purchased one from amazon and it looks similar to your transformer pictured at 4:20, I have the same Chime box that you have but where do I place the transformer?

[@guayo42]

Depending on where you live... it might be in the attic, basement, or closet. Try to find the wiring in the attic coming from the front door/doorbell area. It will most likely be red and white and will go into an electrical box.

[@chrisshore9000]

The low voltage wire going to my doorbell has a re and white and they are in the same cable insulation. I followed it to the basement where I think a transformer used to be. The whites were wire nutted together and the reds were nutted apart. To wire a transformer in, at the mechanical doorbell I connect the red to the transformer connection, the white to the doorbell, so I run the red to the transformer and red on the other screw to the doorbell and tie the whites together so they go from the mechanical doorbells connection and straight to the doorbell.

[@SumoDasher]

How do I know what I am looking at is my doorbell transformer?

[@kenchyH]

what if there are only wires coming out from the wall. Cant see transformer?

[@chriscurry9201]

Means your transformer is somewhere else like his was in the video. You got to go around looking for it. Usually in a junction box, furnace, or somewhere close to your breaker panel

[@3cameron6]

Thanks for the help, but it is against code for that to be on the same circuit as the furnace. Furnaces have to be on a dedicated circuit

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Please cite this code - as MILLIONS upon millions of homes have been built like this.

[@Maliquu]

Instructions unclear, toilet is now leaking

[@kapildaddikar37]

Does the chime have to support 24vadc? Do I need to purchase a chime that support 24 vadc?

[@HandlesSuck123]

No. Most of the voltage load will be used up by the doorbell camera. A 16V chimebox is fine.

[@czechyour66]

Yip just make sure its 30va min, most the old ones are 10, the on the video is 20va, more than one ring 40va is better

[@rockfordhx2768]

Same problem I just came across today installed a ring door bell with the chime at 10bolt it wasn’t enough power to power the chime it would just buzz noise so replaced transformer to 24volt and now it’s all gravy baby

[@funstuff9352]

Billy Bob Thornton got a new handyman job?

[@latinace1981]

Too bad I can’t find the transformer to my 1950’s built home😊

[@chriscurry9201]

[@IndialanticRob]

28V will fry a Ring camera doorbell. Yikes!
