Dear James: I can barely hear the doorbell ring, so I probably should get it fixed or buy a new one. Is replacing a doorbell a typical DIY project?—Greg H.
Dear Greg: New doorbells are relatively inexpensive, so attempting to repair an old doorbell is probably not worth the effect. Installing a new one is a simple DIY project. Manufacturers even make wireless models that only need batteries installed before they are ready for your guests. Installing a wired model with a new transformer should take only an hour or two. Installing a wireless model is even quicker.
