We enjoy trying to make sure that your home stays your most valuable asset. One of the best ways we know to help, is to pass along some simple maintenance tips that most people don’t know could save thousands of dollars.
Door Bell
Most houses are equipped with a doorbell or chimes. The doorbell consists of three parts. There is a push button located near the door, a transformer, and a buzzer, bell or chimes.
The transformer draws power from the main electrical system and transforms it into low voltage. When the button at the door is pressed, it completes a circuit which allows the door bell to ring.
An inoperative doorbell is usually a result of a damaged button, damaged chime unit or damage to the wires themselves. Repairs to doorbells are generally simple and inexpensive.
If the doorbell does not work:
1. the fuse breaker at the main panel may have tripped;
2. the wiring may be faulty;
3. the transformer or switch may be defective, or;
4. the chime may be faulty
Please feel free to forward this maintenance tip to your friends and/or family members so they too can maintain their real estate investment.
