Are pixelated news broadcasts and frozen sporting events ruining your viewing experience? You’re not alone. Sydney’ unique geography and new high-density housing can wreak havoc on TV signals. While streaming services are great, nothing beats free, reliable, high-definition TV—if you have the right antenna.
At Antenna Pros Sydney, we’ve been solving Sydney’s toughest reception problems for over a decade. This isn’t just another guide; it’s your insider look at what really goes into professional antenna installation costs for 2025.
In this definitive guide, we’ll cut through the confusion and break down:
1. 2025 Pricing: Transparent, up-to-date cost ranges for Sydney homes and apartments.
2. Key Cost Drivers: What factors actually change the price (and what doesn’t).
3. Hidden Fees to Avoid: How to spot a cheap quote that will cost you more later.
4. The ‘Pro’ Difference: Why your installer matters more than your antenna.
5. Our Crystal-Clear Guarantee: How we ensure perfect reception, every time.
So, how much should you budget? For a professional, high-quality installation from a licensed technician, Sydney homeowners can expect the following ranges:
Standard Installation (Most Common): $350 – $800
This covers a new, quality antenna installed on a single or double-story home with standard roof access, including new cabling to one TV point and full signal optimisation.
Basic Antenna Replacement/Service: $220 – $450
Ideal if you have existing, usable cabling and just need a new antenna fitted and tuned.
Complex or Multi-Point Installation: $600 – $1,200+
For homes with difficult roof access (steep tiled roofs, high-set), very weak signal areas requiring amplification, or running new cables to 2-3+ TV points.
A true professional quote isn’t just for parts; it’s for expertise and peace of mind. Every Antenna Pros installation includes:
✔ Premium Australian-Made Equipment: We use Hills or Matchmaster antennas—built to withstand Sydney’s sun and storms, not fail in 12 months.
✔ Expert Installation & Safety: Our technicians are licensed, insured, and trained to work safely at height on all roof types.
✔ Advanced Digital Signal Testing: We don’t just guess. We use professional meters to measure MER (Modulation Error Ratio) and BER (Bit Error Rate) to guarantee the cleanest possible signal.
✔ ACMA Compliance & Certification: Our work is 100% legal and safe, and you’ll receive a Certificate of Compliance for your records.
Your final cost is unique to your home. Here’s what we assess in our free quote:
Your Sydney Suburb & Signal Strength: This is the biggest factor. Weak signal zones require more powerful solutions.
Low Signal Zones: Eastern Suburbs (Maroubra, Coogee), Northern Beaches (Palm Beach, Avalon), and valleys in the Hills District often need masthead amplifiers ($75–$200).
Roof Type & Height: Tile, metal, or terracotta roofs require more care and time than tin. Double-story homes may need a taller mast.
Number of TV Outlets: Each additional point requires more cable, wall plates, and labour (typically +$80 – $150 per point).
Existing Wiring: Can we reuse the old coax cable, or is it degraded and need a full rewire?
Building Type: Single homes are generally straightforward. Apartments and townhouses may require more complex distribution systems.
Beware of online marketplaces or “handymen” offering installs for $199. They cut corners that you’ll pay for later:
- Non-Compliant Equipment: Cheap, imported antennas that corrode and fail.
- No Signal Testing: They slap an antenna up and leave. You’re left with the same pixelation or new interference.
- Safety Risks: No insurance, no licence, no safety harness. You are liable if they get injured on your property.
- Hidden Call-Out Fees: The cheap price is just a lure. The real cost is revealed on-site.
We do things differently. Our reputation is built on fixing jobs others botched.
- Free, On-Site Signal Assessment: We don’t guess over the phone. We come out, test your signal strength for free, and give you an accurate, fixed-price quote.
- 5-Star Rated & Licensed: Our google reviews and ProductReview.com.au ratings speak for themselves.
- Lifetime Workmanship Warranty: We guarantee our installation for life because we do it right the first time.
- Same-Day & Emergency Service: Got a problem before the big game? We’ll do our best to get to you fast.
