I have been struggling with finding some professional to fix my poor TV reception problem. Contacted one company 3 times, but no response. This is my first time to try Angi and found C H Tel. & TV Co., Inc this morning. The owner Charlee called me immediately and gave me a quote. Then he sent two professional technician to my home this afternoon. Within a hour, they fixed my TV antenna without installing a new one. Before they came in, I can only watches less than 30 channels on and off with very poor single receptions. When they left this afternoon, I can receive more than 70 channels with a crispy clear TV images. Thanks for Charlee and his technicians, I got my TV life back. What a miracle. I strongly recommend anyone to this wonderful local company!

Dear [Member Name Removed], I do not want to use this platform to rebuttal what you have stated. You gave us a "C" it should be an A. C is average, No Problem!! But you know what we did and you know that what we quoted you was spot on with our hours. I will just say that you had two TV's for us to install and you tried to cancel when we were on the way to your property 30 minutes before the scheduled time because you had someone else come out and tell you that your TV brackets would not work and that was a flat out lie!! You also had two TV's you presented with out any power cords. Our tech was able to dig through his truck and find two for you. There are several more points of contention that could be mentioned. Nothing we did was not presented and discussed. Both TV's look spectacular!! Thank You Charlie Hertel C H Tel. & TV (301)353-0424

Mr. Hartel was very professional. He explained the types of service that could provided and explain this cost structure at the beginning 😊 His technicians found a simple issue that the corrected first. Although the antenna was fine, a rusted U-bolt hindered any further antenna aiming adjustments due to my cost & time constraints. I would definitely recommend C & H and would hire them in the future.

Wow! Talk about great customer service and delivery. Charlie was incredibly responsive from the very first call to try to get my home wired for ethernet under an impossible schedule. Charlie took extra effort to understand my needs and walk me through the entire process to plan out the network. I couldn't be happier with the fast turnaround of the work or the results. I'll be sure to call Charlie and the crew at C H Tel again for my next wiring project (probably mounting the next TV and hiding all the cables for it).

Everything went smooth and by the numbers. I spoke with Charlie over the phone and we went over my antenna project. Prior to him sending us folks out, he recommended that I obtain an antenna and perform a quick test to see what kind of reception I could expect. Following his step by step instructions, I performed the test and everything looks great. Subsequently, we schedule an appointment and two technicians arrived at my house, They’ve completed the project in about 2 1/2 hours.

I strongly recommend CH-TEL to any and/or all customers that want it done right! Charlie (owner) exhibited fantastic customer service skills/behaviors in making sure the entire experience was top notch and second to none. His open, honest, and concise communication to me...as well as his quick follow-up upon job completion, reinforced his strong commitment to customer satisfaction. Evo was extremely detailed and thorough throughout the television and sound bar installations, while Mike showed great knowledge and expertise in quickly diagnosing and fixing the complicated coax cable issues presented to him (a true professional - 31 years w/CH-TEL). Lots of talent here, in all areas of this business. Congratulations! **Look no farther...I highly recommend CH-TEL to all applicable customers looking for the real PROS**

I had 11 ethernet lines run to various locations at my house. Charlie's team did an excellent job. This was a fairly big job that took the two techs two days to complete. The techs provided their recommendations on how to run the wires with very minimal damage to dry wall. I plan on using them again in a couple years when I decide to have surround sound speaker cables professionally installed in the main movie room.
