To replace a doorbell, you need to turn off the power at the circuit breaker for your doorbell and label it. Then, you need to remove the old doorbell button and chime unit and disconnect the wires. You can tape the wires to the wall to prevent them from falling into the wall cavity. If you are installing a wired doorbell, attach the wires to the new doorbell button and chime unit and fasten them to the wall with screws. If you are installing a wireless doorbell, wrap the ends of the wires with electrical tape and tuck them back into the wall. You may need to fill, sand, and paint any holes left by the old doorbell.
Here are some steps that can help you change your doorbell:
1. Turn off power at circuit breaker.
