Replacing a wired doorbell
My wired doorbell makes a nice ding-dong sound on the first floor, and also activates a nasty buzzer on the third floor that makes us jump out of our skin. The buzzer is surface mounted (although has been painted over many a time, so is seriously stuck to the wall). Is replacing the buzzer with a nicer sounded chime something that I can do myself, or do I need to call in an electrician?
I know that they make wireless "add-a-bells," but I still would have to disconnect the buzzer somehow anyway.
Many thanks!

You should be able to do this yourself. Take off the old bell and note how its attached and reattach a new bell the same way.

Very easy DIY job. Doorbell lines are low voltage and do not require an electrician to move or replace if that was the question.

When you remove the old bell, take a photo and enlarge it so you see details.
