Thanks for the info! Anyone else think its something different? My guess was that it was something for the landline coming in the house. I have no reasoning, just a guess. Definitely need my garage door opener. Thanks again,
Huh... Interesting that my door bell only intermittently worked when I bought the house. Wonder if it was because the people that remodeled the house sprayed over it when they painted the garage? In any case, I installed a wireless doorbell at this point. Thoughts on eliminating it considering the fact that I have a wireless setup now? Thanks much for the help!
It is most definately a low voltage transformer !
However I cant say for sure what it powers,
most likely a door bell.
The bell could long be gone.
Do you or did you have a door bell ?
Do you or did you have an extention telephone bell ?
What about low voltage lights in garden or on front gate post ?
If you are sure you will stay wireless, you can remove it. Just be sure to kill power to that circuit. While the wires in front are 16V ( or possibly 24V) AC, the ones behind are 120V.
If it was mine, I would probably stick a duplex outlet in that spot, with the appropriate round cover plate. I like terminated wires versus capping them off.
If you chose to cap them off, you need a new plate without the hole in it.
Generally, it isn't as easy as you think. It is possible.
