A standard installation will accommodate most consumers needs. There are conditions which may require you to pay an additional fee for non-standard installations. Typical non-standard charges are for ground post installations, telephone jack installations, and fishing cables down through walls.
Below you will find a list of the most common non-standard installation surcharges. These charges are paid to your technician at the time of installation. If you have any questions about custom installation work, you should talk to your installation technician a day or two before your scheduled installation date.
