Do Electricians Install Antennas?

Not all electricians are trained to perform antenna installations or repairs, because installations require knowledge and experience in data and coax cabling, which most electricians are not qualified to do. An electricians licence does not cover any jobs related to antennas, telephones, security, or network cabling.

Antenna installations are a highly specialised task and with a lack of experience, there is a high risk of danger due to the hazardous nature of the job. TV antenna professionals are trained in rooftop safety and prepared for all weather conditions.

Most electricians will also not have the correct tools or equipment to deal with specific antenna and AV issues and installation, thus posing the risk of leaving your infrastructure worse off due to issues such as poorly terminated connections or splitters. TV Antenna specialists should possess these tools: F-type compression tools, RG6 and RG11 stripper tools, and other standard equipment to complete the installation.

Additionally, the AV and antenna cabling registration falls under the telecommunications licensing act, whereas electrician qualifications do not. It is important to note that having an open cabling registration does not necessarily mean that the electrician has the additional endorsements such as structured cabling, coax, fibre, and others. Therefore, ask your antenna technician if they are a registered cabler.

Whilst it is not essential for antenna specialists to have any formal qualifications, at Jim’s Antennas, our franchisees undergo our training program before they start working. This includes a 3-day business training course and industry-specific training, ensuring that they are experts in the field and properly qualified to fulfil their jobs.

If you are not satisfied with the job, we will inspect it and have any problems fixed. If we believe the job is good and you do not, we will jointly agree on an independent expert to provide a report at our expense, and fix any problems found. Until this is done, you need not pay for the job. If problems are not fixed within a fortnight, any advance will be refunded.

Only if no problems are found by the expert, will you be asked to pay the agreed price for the job and half the cost of the report.

If the job is done to get your bond back on leaving a rental property, the job is only considered good when the agent or landlord is satisfied.

If payment is made in advance and the job not done, the payment will be refunded.
