I’ve just taken out an understairs cupboard that was a waste of space due to access of which houses our consumer unit, meter and a doorbell transformer and will be boxing everything.
It looks like the doorbell transformer (Freidland 752) is wired directly to the consumer unit with a light switch in the middle. I can isolate the doorbell with this switch. This is where my question/advice comes in.
Can I use this connection for another use eg. get the transformer removed and replace with a more useful double socket? Or make use of the cabling and install a security light/camera?
I’ve been wanting a Ring/Blink doorbell so not worried about losing the old school bell that winds my dog up!
Please note works will be carried out by a qualified electrician!
