Best Answer

Yes, the wire attached to the doorbell does carry an electric current and you can get a shock if you work on it without turning off the power first. Ideally, you should locate the specific fuse or circuit breaker for that particular wire, so you don't have to turn off all the power to the whole house. Be careful; electric shock can be very dangerous.

How do you install a doorbell?

To install a doorbell, you will first have to turn off the power to the doorbell. Pull the doorbell unit away from the wall. Disconnect the wires that hold the door bell in place. You will then have to determine whether you want a wired doorbell or wireless. If you are using wireless tuck the wires back into the wall and place the wireless doorbell in place. For a hard wired doorbell, attach the wires to the door bell, push the excess wires into the wall and attach the doorbell to the wall.
