I wanted to write an article today to highlight a worrying trend amongst some unscrupulous aerial fitters right here in the North-West that I have come across in recent weeks; and also give some information on how to avoid these fitters and make sure you get a quality product and service. There have been some ‘aerial engineers’ offering cut-price installations to consumers that, on the face of it, seem to blow the competitors out of the water, however, these companies have been offering a very poor quality service, using low quality materials and taking shortcuts that have led to equipment being damaged.

The number of these cases has recently shot up as we have been called out by consumers that have been victims of poor quality workmanship, meaning that what started out as a discount price ends up in the consumer forking out twice for the same job. Some examples of this poor quality work are the ‘engineers’ not using splitters and just twisting wires together, this will cause your reception to be poor and signals to get mixed up down the line, if left long enough this will need to be replaced at extra cost to the customer. Fortunately, JNB Aerials offer a guarantee on all products of at least 12 months, so you can be rest assured that the products you are receiving are of high quality.

A recent botched job we were called to involved a less than reputable firm fitting an outside cover that wasn’t waterproof, you can see the results in the picture. Not only did this customer have to have the fittings on their aerial replaced, water had begun running down the wire inside the house, causing damage inside their home. To ensure this doesn’t happen with any of our fittings, we only use fully waterproof enclosures for all outdoor connections as standard, as we believe they are essential in safeguarding your aerial systems longevity.

We have built up our good reputation for the last 5 years and work on the ethos that if we provide a quality, reliable service, we will be here for years to come. Unfortunately, some companies don’t work with the same mission statement and this post should serve as a reminder that it is not always best to take the cheapest quote as you could end up being burnt from poor quality service, unscrupulous firms and needing to replace these items out of your own pocket. Get it right first time and come to JNB Aerials for a minimum 12 month guarantee, high quality products and a friendly service.

At home there are a number of things we can do to ensure that we’re adequately protected. ‘Your home is your castle’ as the saying goes, so why would you neglect security?
Unfortunately thieves can quickly spot a home that isn’t secure and then they’ll make their move. So what can you do? Well, there are a number of things, most of which are simple.
Here we’re going to outline a few ways that you can ensure that your castle is safe from an unwanted invasion.
Keep it occupied
Now obviously, you can’t have someone in the house all the time. But that doesn’t mean that you can’t make it look like there’s always someone home. Burglars pray on an empty property.
The first way you can do this is to leave a light on. This will bump up your electricity bill a little but which would you prefer – a slightly higher electric bill, or to be robbed? I think I know the answer.
You should also make sure that you shut the curtains at night and keep them open in the day. If you’re away for a while give a neighbour or family member you trust a key. Ask them to go in and pull open the curtains and switch the lights off in the day.
Understand how they work
Most burglars share a few techniques for their ‘trade’. Understanding these techniques means that you can protect yourself against them.
In general, a burglar won’t go for a home that’s occupied by a dog. They’re loud. If you already have a dog you’re fine. If not, then don’t worry. You don’t necessarily have to buy one. Just buy a sticker saying ‘beware of the dog’. A thief won’t bother to risk entering your property.
It seems a little stupid and obvious, but never leave a spare key underneath your mat or a plant pot. Burglars do check these spots. Also, don’t advertise your belongings. If valuable stuff is sat in the front window it’s going to be stolen.
Burglars, as you can probably guess, don’t like to be seen. Don’t give them any hiding spots on the approach to your house. Keep the garden trim.
Invest in security equipment
Another way in which you can protect your home is to put some money into good security equipment. Installing things like CCTV, alarms and lights are all things that a burglar hates. If they see them on your property, they’re going to avoid it like the plague.
Here at JNB Aerials we offer impartial advice on how best to protect your property. We can also offer competitively priced options in terms of security feature installations.
