Never Ask Your Electrician To Install Your TV Antenna!

Many people are unaware of the qualifications of an electrician versus an AV or antenna field technician. Av and antenna cabling, fall under the telecommunications licensing act. Installing a television antenna on a roof can not only be dangerous, but it also requires technical knowledge the average homeowner or regular electrician is unlikely to possess. Electricians are not trained in antenna installation or repairs. Electricians are trained in electrical wiring and lighting; and although there may be a handful who hold both licenses and can assist with your antenna, usually this is not the case. Many TV antenna specialists like AntennaPros, unfortunately, are fixing up jobs that have been incorrectly or poorly installed by electricians. Worse, is when the homeowners are trying to install or fix the antenna themselves. Australian homeowners may pride themselves on being efficient at do-it-yourself home improvements, installing appliances and basic household repair work. However, installing your own outdoor TV antenna or employing a regular electrician to do the task may not be a good idea.

TV Antenna Specialists Can Clear Up Digital TV Confusion

Because there is a lot of information around digital TV from many different sources, it can be difficult to know what is correct and what is not. A professional TV antenna installer can give you a clear understanding of what to expect if you are changing over to digital TV, and ensure you purchase the correct equipment. If you have already changed over to digital TV, but are experiencing signal problems, they can also recommend solutions.

Electricians Are Not Licensed To Install Or Repair TV Antennas

Many electricians don’t carry the proper licensing to complete antenna installations or repairs. Often Electricians don’t hold the correct license to install or work on antenna cabling; they have an electrical license which means they can do electrical cabling. Electrical cabling covers power points and lighting. Antenna cabling is coaxial cabling; hence it’s essential to get a professional to install your antenna. An Electricians license does not cover: • Antenna • Telephone • Security • Network Cabling

Electricians Don't Have The Correct Tools Or Equipment

There are many different amplifiers and antenna options, and no one size fits all. Often electricians don’t carry the range of parts or necessary test equipment and even termination tools to correctly install an antenna system to work optimally. More importantly, wouldn’t you want your TV providing you with the best results possible, without frustrating breakups in audio or picture? Then you should never ask your electrician to install or repair your TV antenna. The risk is high.

Some People Need Additional Television Outlets

Many people require more than one television to run from a single television antenna. A professional television antenna installer can easily install additional outlets or television points so every unit in your home produces a great picture with clear sound.

Professional TV Antenna Technicians Are Trained In Rooftop Safety

TV antenna professionals are usually fully trained in safely installing antenna equipment on a variety of rooftops and high places, and under a range of weather conditions.
