It's a brand new house so hopefully the developer knew how to install. I've
looked at it, it's a Friedland chime, no model number on it. I took the
cover off but no help there except it says max 15w where there ios space for
the backup battery (none fitted). Having looked online it looks like a
model called "big ben" . In fact it says that all lit bell pushes must be
used with a transformer and mine does have a lit up bell push. Looking
hopeful!
