Default Are there any 'all mains' doorbells at reasonable prices?

In a lot of houses, people often fail to hear piezos. They'd be far from
reliable here. Yours may be different.


It will obviously depend on the house design and if say you tend to have a
radio on etc all day.

I have two underdome bells driven from a transformer. Can be heard all
over the house easily - and also from the front door when you ring the
bell. Which gives a visitor the reassurance it is working.
