Home intercom system installation across Telford and Shropshire

An intercom gives you a way to find out who's at the entrance before you decide whether to let them in.

They're particularly useful where the entrance or gate is some distance from the house, or where getting to the door every time somebody arrives isn't practical.

Archer looks at the property first, specifies the home intercom or door entry system around the entrance and then supplies and professionally installs it.

Door entry for gates, driveways and entrances

The right home intercom system depends heavily on the layout of the property.

Where a gate or entrance is set away from the house, the distance, route back to the property and location of the answering point all need to be considered before the system is specified.

That's why Archer looks at the property first rather than recommending an intercom from a product list.

The installation matters as much as the intercom

Where an entrance is some distance from the house, getting the connection between the entrance and the property right is an important part of the installation.

Archer considers the route as part of the survey before specifying the system and installation.

Choosing how you want to answer

Depending on the system, a home intercom may provide audio communication, video of the person at the entrance or different ways of answering the call.

The right option depends on the property and what you actually want the system to do.

Archer will talk through the appropriate options during the free site survey rather than recommending features you don't need.

Already have an automated gate?

Where suitable gate automation is already installed, it may be possible for the intercom system to work alongside it so the person answering can control entry.

Archer will need to see what's already installed before confirming compatibility.

Specified, supplied and professionally installed

You don't need to choose an intercom system before contacting Archer.

We'll look at the entrance, how the property is laid out and where you need to answer callers from before recommending the appropriate system.

Archer then supplies and professionally installs the system we've specified.

We don't operate as a labour-only installer for intercom equipment purchased elsewhere.

Existing intercom not working properly?

Archer can assess suitable existing electronic security systems, including systems originally installed by another company.

If an existing intercom or door entry system has developed a fault, tell us what's installed and what the problem is. We'll establish whether it's something Archer can assess and whether repair is appropriate.

Home intercom FAQs

Can an intercom work with a gate that's already installed?

Potentially.

It depends on the existing gate equipment and the intercom system being specified. Archer will assess what's already installed during the site survey before confirming compatibility.

Do I need a video intercom or is audio enough?

That depends on the property and what you want to know before admitting somebody.

Some customers may simply want to speak to the person at the entrance, while others may also want to see them.

Archer can talk through the appropriate options during the survey.

Can I answer the intercom from my phone?

Some intercom systems can provide phone/app-based answering, depending on the equipment specified and the connectivity available at the property.

If this is important to you, mention it during the survey so Archer can recommend an appropriate system.

Can you repair an intercom that's stopped working?

Archer can assess suitable existing electronic security systems, including systems installed by another company.

Tell us what's installed and what has stopped working and we'll establish whether repair is appropriate.

Can you install an intercom I've bought myself?

Archer's normal approach is to survey the property, specify the appropriate system, supply the equipment and professionally install it.

We don't operate as a labour-only installer for intercom equipment purchased elsewhere.
