How to Choose a Multi-Tenant or Apartment System

Looking to upgrade or repair your apartment intercom system? You've come to the right place! At IntercomsOnline, we specialize in providing solutions for both new installations and fixing or replacing existing intercoms.


For those considering a new equipment installation, your choice hinges on your specific needs. If running wires isn't feasible, wireless options utilizing innovative technologies come into play. Consider systems that connect to a tenant's telephone or smartphone app. These intercoms leverage cell phone service or Internet, each requiring specific features and available services for smooth functionality.


Cell network intercoms operate via respective monthly plans, while internet-based intercoms necessitate an Ethernet connection, enabling communication with tenants' smartphones or phone numbers, often incorporating video capabilities.


However, if running wires to each unit is viable, it eliminates the need for monthly service plans but requires higher installation costs due to labor-intensive wiring from each apartment to the entry unit.


When it comes to apartment intercom repair or replacement, our expertise shines. If your existing system isn't functioning correctly, component replacement might be a viable solution, even if the original manufacturer is no longer in business. Understanding the design of your apartment stations is crucial: intricate circuitry may necessitate a full system replacement unless replacement parts are available from the manufacturer.


On the other hand, systems with separate amplifiers and simplistic button-driven stations allow for replacing individual defective components, typically requiring 3, 4, or 5-wire connections.
