Electrical Work for Intercoms Melbourne South East

Helcro Electrical does the electrical work intercoms and gates need, for homes and businesses across Melbourne's South East: power for intercom screens and door stations, and mains power run out to automated gate motors. Based in Cheltenham, the work is done by A-Grade licensed electricians.

Electric door strikes, magnetic locks and other electric access control devices are security equipment, and installing them is a licensed private security activity in Victoria (Victoria Police, since 19 June 2025), so that part is done by a licensed security installer. Our mains work comes with a Certificate of Electrical Safety, and you get a written quote upfront.

Power for intercoms, by licensed electricians

Video intercom screens and door stations need power, and on many systems that comes from a network switch or power supply that needs a power point nearby. Automated gates need mains power at the gate motor.

We put the power where your security installer needs it, check the switchboard for safety switch (RCD) protection, and certify the mains work. Tell us which system is going in, and we'll quote the electrical side.

Power out to your gate

An automated gate needs mains power at the gate motor. Running cable out to a front gate usually means trenching for cable and conduit, unless there is a wall we can fix the cabling to, so we quote it separately once we have seen the site.

If your intercom installer needs a conduit out to the gate as well, tell us and we can lay it in the same trench.

Home intercom power

For a home intercom we can:

  • Add a power point for the indoor screen, network switch or power supply
  • Run mains power to an automated gate motor
  • Lay conduit to the gate for your installer's cabling
  • Check the switchboard has safety switch (RCD) protection

We provide a written quote before any work begins. Work out to a front gate is quoted separately, after we have seen the site.

Commercial sites

Businesses in Cheltenham, Moorabbin, Heatherton, and across Melbourne's South East often need power at several entry points, at gate motors, and for the equipment that runs a multi-door system. We quote the electrical side and work alongside your licensed security installer.

We do commercial electrical work for:

  • Office and retail tenancies
  • Warehouses and industrial facilities
  • Body corporate and strata buildings
  • Medical and professional suites
