"The tv's were mounted to perfection with no wires showing and he also provided the wall mounts at an additional cost. One of my electrical sockets did not work and instead of shifting my tv to another area Derrick was able to fix the issue. The service was so great I called the next day to have more work completed. GREAT SERVICE !!!"

"Yavuz was extremely professional from the outset, including scheduling the work and discussing what would be covered by the deal. He showed up promptly at the appointment time, and confirmed that he would be able to work with the equipment that I had purchased. He also gave me a quote to install an additional TV (after the 2 hours from the deal were used up on the first 2 TVs); I agreed and he was able to deal with my nonstandard walls (no studs, cinderblock behind drywall), and he even had all the parts on hand to complete the job. He was careful to measure exactly where the TVs would go depending on how/where I would be viewing them, and took the time to show me how each of the mounts could be adjusted.

I am extremely happy with this purchase and install, and will definitely be recommending him and this company to all my friends when they are in need of this service."

"So I’ve been with terrible WiFi for a long time. Ever since I moved to my new house, the WiFi was always good in the basement but anywhere else in the house it was lacking speed and efficiency. I really needed to change this up and even bought an extender from Verizon that didn’t really do much at all. Keep in mind I have Verizon FIOS which is the highest speed from the carrier. I didn’t think that this could be solved until I called TotalTechGeeks. They recommended a mesh network system that would solve the problem. So I hired them to come and install this system and they responded immediately. They solved my bad WiFi issue within 30 minutes and ever since I have had really strong WIFI throughout the house. I’m talking going from 3.60 mbps in my room to 248 mbps. The router is in the basement and my room is in the third floor. Overall, would highly recommend them for any WIFI needs and other services that they offer!"

"They did an excellent job of installing the new panel at a reasonable price. Also they had financing options that were same as cash. I was provided some options of circuit breakers and the price with the options. The differences in breaker were explained and the code requirements for my area was also explained and compared to other local code standards. I was able to customize the options a little bit based on my needs and I have more space in the panel if I have additional requirements. Going from a box from the 1960’s to a modern solution mad a lot of sense. The installation was smooth with only a short time without power. Throughout the process, I was well informed of the progress. My family was able to work remotely from home during most of the install without too much disruption. (Used cell phone for internet and laptops while power was off.) They even installed a monitoring system for me to track the electrical use of the house. Overall they did a great job and I am very satisfied."

FAQs for satellite dish system service projects in Washington, DC

Homeowners bear the responsibility for satellite dish removal. When you cancel your TV service, most providers collect their interior equipment, like receivers, but leave the exterior dish mounted on your property. If you're renting, review your lease agreement carefully, as some landlords prohibit dish installation entirely or require removal before moving out. The physical dish remains the homeowner's responsibility unless specific arrangements are made with the service provider.

Most satellite dish removals don't require an electrician since the systems operate on low-voltage connections that don't present significant electrical hazards. Handymen, roofers, or satellite installation technicians can handle standard removals. However, an electrician might be appropriate if your system involves complex wiring integrated with your home's electrical system or if internal wiring repairs are needed. Specialized satellite technicians or general contractors are often sufficient for standard exterior dish removal.

Professional satellite dish removal requires one to two hours for standard installations. This timeframe includes disconnecting cables, removing mounting hardware, patching holes, and cleaning the work area. More complex scenarios—like dishes on steep roofs, multiple installation points, or extensive wiring—may extend this timeline. DIY removal takes longer, particularly for inexperienced homeowners who might spend several hours ensuring safe work practices and proper disposal.

Some satellite service providers will remove their equipment at no charge when you cancel service, though this practice varies by company. Contact your provider directly when canceling to inquire about removal options. Another potential avenue for free removal is when switching to a new provider—the incoming company might include old equipment removal as part of their installation package. Always clarify what's included in any "free" removal offer, particularly regarding patching and repair work that might be necessary after the dish is gone.
