For most of us, relaxing and watching some TV to unwind is something that helps us chill out and catch up with the latest news and entertainment.

The days are well and truly gone where the family would all gather around the single TV in the home. Nowadays the average Australian household has multiple TV’s, and we need a number of TV points throughout a property.

Adding TV points in entertainment areas in your home will provide a wide range of options and ensure you can turn any room into an entertainment space whenever you wish.

In this article, we explore the cost and process of installing an extra TV point and how to find a reliable installer to help with the process.

What does a TV point cost to install?

You can expect to pay around $120 to $150 for a TV point installation in Australia, the price will usually be quoted ahead of time so you can budget for the work.

If your property or wall access is difficult, you might find this average cost slightly different. However, your local TV point installer can always provide a detailed quote for the work.

Who will need to install a TV point?

A TV antenna installer that is licenced and insured is generally the best option to carry out the work for you.

These days a lot of people have a number of TV points in their homes: TV rooms, lounge rooms, spare bedrooms, master suites. Some people even have outdoor TV’s in a BBQ area or even in a rumpus room – the choice is yours.

Adding TV points in multiple areas of the house adds value to the property and it ensures that the people living in the property have options for when and where to watch TV and get additional audiovisual options.

The process of adding a new TV outlet isn’t a simple one

While it might seem like a fairly small matter, adding in a TV point is something that needs a fair bit of consideration.

Professional installers will need to note a range of factors including access, wall types, studs in the walls, electrical and plumbing, the location of the TV, length of TV cables required, and even the signal that is available in the TV outlet space before even installing the TV point.

Added to the above, your audiovisual professional will need to put an outlet into your walls, so they will need to be licenced and insured to carry out the work – particularly if your walls are made of brick or concrete.

So if you are considering installing TV outlets, there is no better time than the present and there are always plenty of providers with insurance and registration available to provide you with more info.

How do I find a professional to help install a TV point?

It is not a good idea to install a TV point yourself, as it can be dangerous and there is a chance you may even void the insurance of your home.

When you are looking at hiring a professional TV antenna installer to install your TV point, it is a good idea to hire someone who is local to your house as they will be used to working in the area and know if there are any issues specific to your area.

Adding TV outlets to your wall is an important task, you should ensure you check the local businesses for reviews to be sure that you are hiring someone who delivers a high-quality job.

If you want to view free-to-air TV, extra outlet points are a fantastic way to ensure all of your family is entertained in the locations that you need.

Ask your local TV antenna installation professional for a quote for installing an extra TV point and to get a better understanding of the process.
