Randwick never really keeps regular hours. Nurses head to Prince of Wales Hospital before sunrise, UNSW students wander home well after midnight, and the light rail hums along until late. With that much coming and going, your home or business needs protection that stays switched on when you’re not.
That’s what CGF does. We’re licensed electricians who specialise in security systems, so your cameras, alarms and intercoms are wired safely and set up properly from day one. Need a switchboard upgrade or an EV charger too? Same team, same visit.
A camera stuck on a wall isn’t a security system. We plan placement around how your property is actually used, covering front doors, driveways, side gates and back lanes with no blind spots. That way you get clear faces and number plates, not blurry shapes.
Our CCTV installations are built to handle Sydney summers and wet winters, record continuously, and stream to your phone. Check when the post arrives, see that the kids are home from school, or keep an eye on the house while you’re overseas or spending the afternoon at Coogee.
Our alarm systems send instant alerts the moment a door opens unexpectedly or there’s motion where there shouldn’t be. We program them around your routine: teenagers coming home at different times, pets moving through the house, a window you like to leave open for airflow. You only hear about genuine problems, not every false trigger.
See and talk to whoever is at the door before you open it, from your couch or the office. For Randwick apartment blocks, we replace old audio-only buzzers with video intercoms that residents answer on their phones, with temporary access for guests and tradies and a record of who’s been let in.
From shops along Belmore Road to clinics near the hospital and offices around The Spot, every business has different risks. We design for yours.
Retail: Cameras cover entries, registers, change room entrances and stockrooms, with footage sharp enough to read a face or a product label. They record continuously, keep weeks of history, and visible cameras alone cut down opportunistic theft.
Medical, dental and allied health: CCTV covers reception and common areas only, never treatment rooms. Access control restricts records and medication storage to authorised staff, so you can show exactly who entered and when. It’s designed to support privacy compliance without adding admin.
Access control for any business: Swap keys for cards, fobs or PIN codes. Each staff member’s credential only works during their hours. When someone leaves, you deactivate it instantly, with no rekeying. It’s ideal for salons with rental chairs and practices with rotating practitioners.
Warehouses: Perimeter and loading dock cameras capture every vehicle and face, with internal coverage of stock and office areas. The footage also verifies delivery times and settles damage disputes.
Childcare centres: Secure entry logs every adult in and out, intercoms let staff screen visitors, and cameras cover play areas and entrances. It’s all practical enough to handle the drop-off rush.
Strata buildings: We upgrade intercoms, add common-area access control, and install car park and lobby CCTV, then provide the documentation committees need for approvals and insurance.
Air con, induction cooktops, EV chargers and smart devices all add load. Older fuse boards weren’t built for that, which leads to constant tripping and real fire and shock risk. We fit modern switchboards with RCD safety switches, surge protection and enough circuit capacity to meet Australian Standards.
EVs are everywhere in the Eastern Suburbs. We install 7kW home chargers and faster commercial units, handling everything from choosing the charger to final testing. Add solar battery storage to run your home on stored daytime energy through the evening peak and keep essentials going during outages.
NSW requires alarms on every level, placed correctly in hallways and near bedrooms, and meeting AS 3786. Some homes also need hardwired, interconnected alarms with battery backup. We install, test and provide a compliance certificate for homeowners, landlords and sellers.
Renovating a Randwick terrace or building new? Our residential electricians handle rewiring, lighting design, power point placement, smart home integration and RCD protection. We also take on the everyday jobs like faulty power points, ceiling fans, LED upgrades, appliance wiring and safety inspections.
For businesses, our commercial electricians handle fit-outs, lighting, data cabling, emergency lighting, distribution boards and compliance testing, all scheduled around your trading hours.
Power out, a sparking outlet or a burning smell? Call us straight away. We’ll make it safe first.
We cover Randwick, Coogee, Kensington, Kingsford, Clovelly, Maroubra, Bronte, Bondi, Matraville, Little Bay, La Perouse and the rest of our Sydney service areas.

You’ll need your neighbour’s consent to attach anything to a shared party wall. We can usually mount cameras on your side of the property instead, angled to cover your entry and lane without looking into next door.
Fixed cameras that are drilled in or hardwired need your landlord’s written permission. Once you have it, we can install and remove them cleanly at the end of your lease. Battery or plug-in cameras are an option if permission isn’t possible.
Only if it has backup power. Alarm panels have built-in backup batteries, and adding a UPS to your camera recorder keeps footage rolling through most outages. We recommend it for any home or business where recording can’t stop.
No. Cameras in treatment or consult rooms create serious privacy issues. Cover reception, entries and medication storage instead, and use access control to log who opens restricted rooms. Staff also need written notice before workplace surveillance starts.
If you park on the street, you can’t run a charging cable across a public footpath. Options include a charger in a rear lane garage, shared charging in your apartment car park, or nearby public and workplace chargers. We’ll assess what works for your property.
Intercoms are usually common property, so the owners corporation pays from the building’s funds, and the upgrade is approved at a strata meeting. We supply the quotes, specs and options your committee needs to vote.
The common signs are ceramic fuses, no RCD safety switches, breakers that trip regularly, a board that feels warm, or plans to add an EV charger, air con or battery. If any of these apply, have it inspected.
Yes. We install recorders with spare channels, so you can add cameras, intercoms or alarm zones later without replacing the system.
It depends on the job. A power point repair and a switchboard upgrade are very different. We give you a fixed quote before starting, so there are no hourly surprises.
Yes, and it saves you time and money. Because we’re licensed for both, we can upgrade your switchboard, run power for cameras and intercoms, and install your security system in one job.
