Loud electric Doorbell

[gudji1 10]

Perhaps in the wrong section but looking for help.

We have a large B&B and have been cursed with many bad wifi doorbells which after a while just stop working.

Our electrician has been here all day putting in hard wire but even he has problems and the bells just do not ring correctly. Sounds like low power.

Any ideas as we need bells in 4 locations.

Have a look at these as an example:

you'll find cheaper transformers if you shop around.

 

You'll need the button switches as well, but the bells will wake the dead, mine makes me jump every-time it rings!

Get an antique electric door bell. I have one of these and it's incredibly loud and penetrates even over high volume music.

Get a proper electrican

A decent 24Vdc power unit and four of these (or similar) http://cpc.farnell.com/jsp/level5/module.jsp?moduleId=cpc/344375.xml will do the trick, permanently. You will need to wire the doorbell switch via a relay to handle the load. Any decent electrician can do this for you.

Any decent burglar alarm engineer would know how to complete this type of job correctly. Perhaps it requires an additional power supply.
