Additionally, if your doorbell camera isn't functioning properly or if you experience connectivity issues with a smart doorbell, it may require professional attention.
Can I service my doorbell myself, or should I hire a professional?
While some minor issues, such as changing batteries or resetting a smart doorbell, can be addressed by homeowners, hiring a professional is recommended for more complex problems. Professionals have the expertise and tools necessary to accurately diagnose issues and ensure safe and effective repairs, especially for wired systems.

A technician will provide an estimate based on the specific situation.
Is doorbell servicing covered by warranty or insurance?
Whether doorbell servicing is covered by warranty or insurance depends on the manufacturer and the specific circumstances. Some warranties may cover repairs for defects, while homeowner's insurance might cover damage caused by external factors. It's advisable to check your warranty terms or consult with your insurance provider for specific coverage details.
