“I believe I need to have my transformer upgraded for the Nest Hello. Is that something you can do, I don’t think it will work with the one I have now, it’s too old. I’m trying to have one person do the whole thing. Thanks”

No, I will not recommend geek squad to install your nest video doorbell. I recently had geek squad to come out to install my video nest doorbell, but they were not able to successfully installed my doorbell because they stated that I needed to upgrade my doorbell transformer and they are not able to do any upgrades and that I will need to get an electrician. Therefore I got Hellotech to come out and they were able to successfully installed my doorbell and I didn't need to upgrade my transformer.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I say review the instructions carefully and go for it! After hooking up everything up look for a blue colored ring on the front of your Nest. If the ring is orange, that tells you that you there is not enough power to operate your Nest Hello system and you must obtain the special booster kit. As far as being "too old," my original door bell was installed back in the early 70's. Good luck!

One of our Smart Home Experts should be able to check it out and see if we can do the work required to get the Nest Hello working in your home.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Only one installer comes from a contracted party. I would go to a hardware store like home depot and buy a transformer 16-24 and install it. It is very easy.
