Hello All,

I need to replace a door bell that’s wired to the mains. 

The problem is I’m not sure whether it has a built in transformer or not. 
I’m unable to post a picture, which is rather annoying as I’m new to this site. 
How can I tell if the transformer is built in or not and if not, where would it be?

Thanks in advance. 

 
I have never yet seen a mains powered door bell. They all run from batteries or a transformer.  The transformer does not haver to be next to the door bell, it could be next to, or even inside the consumer unit.
