Old, Rusted Antennas Need To Go!

You may be surprised to know that rusty and old antennas don’t just cause issues with your TV reception. They can also be considered dangerous and should be replaced and removed by a professional.


But how does your antenna become rusted? The build up of rust, also known as corrosion, is due to the outdoor elements and involves the deterioration of metal components. Corrosion is the most common problem that affects TV splitters, from years of exposure to dirt and moisture, or water entry through coaxial cabling. In some cases the damaged, rusted antenna can end up weakening and potentially fall off the roof, causing injury.


If your existing antenna appears to be rusted or if you are having issues with your TV reception, it’s best to call the experts at Jim’s Antennas. Our team of installation experts specialise in all types of aerial installation tasks. Your local technician will fit the correct Antenna for the type of TV reception available in your local area.

Only recently, Michael from Jim’s Antennas & Security South Morang, replaced an antenna that was desperately needed, not to mention it was extremely dangerous. Just one gust of wind during a storm could have pushed the old, rusted antenna off the roof.


You no longer need to put up with bad TV reception, or put you or your loved ones (or property) at risk. Call the experts on 131 546 or book here, to arrange your free onsite quote.
