Some of the transformers (as was my case) don't provide enough current (not voltage) to power the doorbell IF YOU ALSO WANT TO KEEP YOUR ORIGINAL OLD MECHANICAL CHIME which I did. I had to replace my transformer which was in the attic with a higher current version because sometimes the mechanical chime worked and sometimes it didn't until I changed the xformer. My home is 14yrs old so YMMV.
