Welcome to the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section. This section is designed to provide answers to some of the most common questions our customers have about telecommunications and electrical services, including antenna installation.
The type of antenna you need depends on a few factors, including your location and the channels you want to receive. Some antennas are designed for indoor use while others are meant for outdoor installation.
To get the best reception, it is recommended to install the antenna as high as possible and in a location with a clear line of sight to the broadcast tower.
You may need special equipment like a mast or a mounting kit, depending on the type of antenna and where you plan to install it.
It is important to consider hiring an expert for the job. While it may be tempting to save money and attempt a DIY installation, there are several benefits to hiring a professional.
You can install the antenna yourself if you have some basic DIY skills and tools, but it is recommended to hire a professional if you are unsure or if the installation requires climbing onto the roof.
An expert has the knowledge and experience necessary to ensure the job is done correctly and efficiently. They know the best practices for antenna installation and can identify any potential problems that a non-expert might miss. This can save you time, money, and frustration in the long run.
The installation time can vary depending on the complexity of the installation and the type of antenna. Simple installations can take an hour or less, while more complex installations can take several hours.
Antenna installation should not affect your existing TV or cable service as long as the installation is done correctly.
A professional can provide valuable advice and guidance throughout the installation process. They can recommend the best type of antenna for your location and needs, and can help troubleshoot any issues that may arise.
Ensure safety and avoid hazards by hiring licensed professionals, following manufacturer instructions, using surge protectors, and keeping cords away from heat sources. Regular maintenance and upgrades are essential. Call us for complex jobs!
