Yes, you are able to choose a specific time or day for any installation you wish to have carried out. Our friendly and professional customer service team will contact you to arrange a suitable appointment that works for you.

Can you tell me about your labour and parts warranty?

All new installations of any service are backed by our 1-3 year standard parts and labour warranty.

Customers are able to purchase an extended warranty period in twelve monthly increments, up to a maximum of 36 months. The extended warranty will only cover the installation carried out by the company, and parts we supply and will be separate from the manufacturer’s warranty on any equipment provided.

Can you tell me about your period of the guarantee?

Any equipment replaced or repaired during the guarantee period will remain in guarantee from the date of the original invoice.

The company will guarantee the following against faulty material and workmanship:

a) Satellite equipment received by the company, and its installation, twelve months from the date of the invoice unless stated otherwise.

b) UHF TV & DAB/VHF FM equipment received by the company and its installation, twelve months from the date of the invoice, unless stated otherwise.

Can you tell me about your Digital Switchover Compliance?

All our Aerial installations are backed by our Digital Switchover Compliance policy which involves switching from analogue TV to an advanced Digital TV service. The compliance ensures that customers are able to watch a variety of High Definition channels.

Our compliance meets the Confederation of Aerial Industries (CIA) standards to provide exceptional reception within all areas we service to.

Customers can expect to receive either both Freeview Digital Channels which are integrated into TV aerials that are installed, or FreesatSky, and European Digital Channels if Satellite TV dishes are installed.

Do you offer paper or non-electronic quotations?

Yes, we provide both paper and non-electronic quotations that we can send to your address.

Do you charge for hourly rate work or fixed price work?

Most of our installation services are set at a fixed price. However, there are some exceptions for when we need to investigate and test systems which can increase the rate due to our engineers spending more time on the required work.

We advise customers of our hourly rates, especially when more time is required on a job. Therefore, an installation is unable to be quoted as a fixed price.

Can a non-standard installation still be completed on the same day?

Yes, non-standard installations can be completed throughout the same day you have an installation booked.

How much does the 2-Year and 3-Year Extended Warranty cost?

Our 2-year warranty is priced at £75 and our 3-year warranty is £95.

Our commercial warranties are priced on application depending on the size of the system and the materials Aerialforce will need to warranty.

What are the conditions not included in the guarantee?

The warranty/guarantee does not cover:

a) Reception quality and conditions changing which are outside the companies control, which may be but not limited to, local buildings being erected, tree’s, cranes, maintenance of local transmitters, power cuts, lighting strikes/gale winds etc

b) Movement or damage caused by winds in excess of 60mph

c) Interference caused by local radio hams, citizen band radio, radar, electrical appliances or any other transmitting frequencies

d) Any repair, upgrades or alterations carried out by persons other than those employed or instructed to do so by the company

e) Retuning of receiving equipment due to alteration of channel frequencies.

f) Works carried out for the customer against the companies best recommendations. For example, installation of an aerial not suitable for the reception area.
The company will not be held liable for loss or damage caused by fire, theft, flood, riot, explosions, falling debree from aircraft, circumstances deemed as acts of God, lightning or damage beyond the supplier’s reasonable control or acts from third parties, criminal or not.

Does your free no obligation quotation policy apply to all your services?

Each installation service is different from each other, therefore we offer a free no obligation quotation policy with all our installation services.

However, this does not apply to our repair service as Aerialforce charge a minimum fee to investigate TV, Satellite & CCTV issues.

How does your same day installation service work?

Throughout the UK, we offer our same day installation service and can attend your property on the same day of your phone call. Our service agents can confirm that one of our engineers can carry out the work within 30 minutes of your call.

Can you tell me more about your engineers experience?

All our engineers have a minimum of five years experience in Aerial, Satellite, CCTV & Home Entertainment industry installations and repairs. We ensure that all our engineers have valid DBS checks for your safety when attending your property.

Do you offer same-day repair services?

We will not accept verbal estimates, or those presented after services have been rendered.
