Hiring the right antenna installer in Melbourne can be the difference between a $250 job that lasts 15 years and a $99 disaster that needs redoing within months. The Melbourne antenna industry has its share of cowboy operators — door-knockers, fake-review sites and unlicensed installers who damage roofs and disappear. Use this 9-point checklist to confirm you're hiring a legitimate, skilled Melbourne antenna technician.
Checks 1–4: Legitimacy & Insurance
Confirm an active ABN, public liability insurance of at least $10 million, a physical Melbourne business address (not just a mobile number), and genuine online reviews across Google, Product Review and True Local. Cross-check the business name on Google Maps — many cowboy operators run multiple fake listings under different names.
Checks 5–7: Workmanship & Materials
A reputable Melbourne installer uses Australian-made antennas (Matchmaster, Hills, Kingray), RG6 quad-shield coaxial cable, and weather-rated outdoor connectors. They should provide a written 12-month workmanship guarantee in writing — not just a verbal promise.
Checks 8–9: Pricing Transparency & Payment
Avoid installers who quote sight-unseen with vague pricing, demand large upfront deposits, or pressure you to decide on the spot. A trustworthy Melbourne antenna installer provides a clear itemised quote, accepts payment after the job is complete, and offers electronic invoicing for tax records.
