Wireless Doorbells

Wireless doorbells have proven to be a great convenience for many homeowners. Although it is a relatively new invention (about 25 years ago), it has had a dramatic effect on the doorbell industry.

Many homeowners have wrestled with the decision of whether or not to buy one. Here is a list of some of its advantages and disadvantages:

1. Easy installation and portability.

This means installation is as simple as removing the old wired doorbell and putting in the batteries to the wireless kind. Also, the wireless chimes can be moved on a whim. This can be very helpful when remodeling or trying to find a better location for the chime.

2. More versatile than standard doorbells.

Not surprisingly, wireless doorbells are a hit with people who live in rental units or leased homes. This is because they get a quality doorbell that they can keep in compliance with the landlord and even take the doorbell with them when they move.

3. Range Limits are expanding.

One knock on early wireless units was their limited range. However, they now have more powerful transmitters. Older models will be adequate for most homes. However, for homes that are multi-floored or are simply quite large, long range units have been made. These doorbells have ranges that extend well beyond the previous range while providing a good quality sound.

4. Competitively priced compared to wired doorbells.

One of the most compelling benefits of wireless doorbells is that they are competitively priced. You can expect to pay only $5 or $10 more for a similar wired model. And then you have the installation, which could be costly.

5. Signal Interference is an issue with cheaper models.

A problem with some models is signal interference. Unfortunately, cheaper models will sometimes go off accidentally when triggered by some other device.

This could be anything from a neighbor’s garage door opener, car alarm, or another remote control device. The good news is the more moderately priced and higher end wireless units have multiple frequencies which allow you to block out any signal interference.

Although the wireless doorbell is not perfect, many people have found it to be exactly what they are looking for in terms of performance quality and function.
