Homeowner removed doorbell but there was still a transformer in the garage

If you've got a doorbell transformer in the garage, it's a good sign that there are likely wires running from the transformer to where the doorbell would be located. These wires would typically connect to the front door area where the doorbell button is intended to be installed.

Here's what you can do to check:

Inspect Near the Front Door: Look around the area near the front door for any small holes or openings where a doorbell button might have been installed before. Sometimes these openings are covered up or filled in, so examine the surroundings closely.

Use a Voltage Tester: Before doing any wiring work, it's always wise to check if there's electricity running through those wires. You can use a voltage tester to ensure the wires are not live and it's safe to proceed.

Trace the Wires: If you find an opening or a location where the doorbell button might have been, you can carefully remove any covering or trim to see if there are wires present. Be cautious not to damage any existing wiring.

Check the Garage: Since I mentioned the transformer is in the garage, take a look around the garage ceiling or walls. Sometimes, wires could be visible or accessible from there.

Remember, safety first! If you're not comfortable with electrical work, it's always a good idea to consult a professional electrician to help with the wiring and installation. This way, you'll ensure that the doorbell is properly connected without any risks.
