"This was a fairly large and expensive piece of necessary home maintenance. My home is now 25 years old, and I am the original owner. My main circuit breaker had been "acting up" recently; that is, it randomly failed (opened) as the day proceeded and the temperature rose. It is housed along with all of my other circuit breakers in my main breaker box, which is directly exposed to the early afternoon sun in the late spring and early fall months. Concerned, I did a bit of research online to discover my box likely had reached end-of-life. I called 2 contractors for estimates, and chose West Houston Electric to replace the box. In addition, my original ground rod was disconnected from my home's main grounding lead, which West Houston found when they inspected my box to give me a bid. I was told the original rod was likely galvanized metal provided by the builder, and that it had likely deteriorated significantly over the 25-year life of my house. They also suggested a "whole home" surge protector to minimize the effect of voltage surges that occur, the tech said, on a daily basis. These surges, it was claimed, have a deteriorating effect on any electric devices in my house, especially on "high tech" equipment that utilized chip technology. Both bidding contractors made this claim. I must say I haven't experienced any failures in chip-based technologies in my home. But, my AC compressor, when it comes on, comes on "hard." It must draw a lot of amperage when it cycles on, and it will do so often in the summer months. (I have a "start switch" on it to minimize the abruptness of its operation, but I often wonder what it draws as it is a very loud start.) I chose West Houston Electric to do the work because their competitor found almost $6,000 worth of work to do. To their credit, the tech broke that down to "must haves," "should haves," and "nice to haves." Even so, their bid for the "must haves," the work West Houston performed, was higher. The tech was on time for the scheduled work and seemed quite knowledgeable and likable. The owner had spoken to me on the phone, and came by twice during the work to check on progress. This is a relatively long procedure, by the way. It takes about 4-5 hours start to finish, and your power will be out most of that time. The tech found one more issue that seemed prudent to address regarding a GIF breaker for my pool pump, The competing contractor had suggested that as well. Though the risk is low that a pump failure might cause electricity to flow into my pool, it was the sort of risk that entailed mortality on the down side--that circuit is 220v. It the pump failed, and it caused current to flow into the pool, and anyone was in it, it would be "curtains." If this were to occur, I could not live with myself having chosen to take the risk instead of spending about $400. So, I conceded to add the additional protection. The work proceeded well. The tech and I struck up a good conversation about lawn maintenance, a favorite chore of mine (and his), and it finished up pretty much as we expected. West Houston did a fine job for me. I will use them again as there are always a few more things to be done in a house as old as mine. ("Old" is such an odd description of a house that is 25 years old; but that is Houston for you.)"

The type of doorbell camera you select determines whether you'll need an electrician for installation. Battery-powered wireless models often don't require electrical expertise as they operate independently from your home's wiring.
However, hardwired doorbell cameras that connect to your electrical system benefit from professional installation, especially if you lack existing doorbell wiring or need electrical upgrades. Professional installation ensures proper voltage, secure connections, and code compliance for wired systems.
Installation time varies significantly based on your doorbell camera type and home configuration. Wireless doorbell camera installation takes between 30 and 60 minutes, whether done professionally or as a DIY project.
Wired doorbell cameras require one to two hours when replacing an existing doorbell with compatible wiring. More complex installations involving new wiring may extend to three to four hours or longer. Factors like wall material, accessibility, and integration with other systems can further affect installation duration.
Doorbell cameras provide substantial security value for most homeowners. They create a visible deterrent to potential intruders while recording valuable evidence of package deliveries, suspicious activities, or unwanted visitors. The remote answering capability allows you to interact with visitors without revealing whether you're home, enhancing personal safety. Doorbell cameras deliver significant security benefits at a fraction of the cost of a comprehensive security system.
Maintaining a doorbell camera involves several potential recurring expenses. Cloud storage subscriptions for video recording cost between $5 and $40 monthly, depending on storage duration and advanced features. Extended warranty protection may cost $19 to $50 for additional coverage beyond the standard manufacturer warranty.
Wireless models require periodic battery replacement or recharging. Occasional network upgrades or professional services may be needed to maintain optimal performance, though these represent infrequent expenses for most users.
