Southern Home Entertainment
Andrew regularly takes on — and solves — jobs that previous technicians already gave up on.
That track record of picking up difficult jobs and finishing them cleanly is the single strongest reason to choose him over a generalist. He's GST-registered, operating as a partnership with roughly 17 years in the trade, and the reviews span residential wall mounts through to commercial Wi-Fi installs and Starlink — so there's genuine breadth here, not just a TV-hanging service. If you have a messy situation with layered issues (bad antenna, patchy Wi-Fi, AV wiring all at once), he appears to be exactly the kind of operator who works through the whole list in one visit rather than scoping down to the easy part.

About Southern Home Entertainment
Andrew Pugh is the hands-on operator behind Southern Home Entertainment, and across 50 reviewed jobs he handles virtually everything himself — from emergency antenna repairs on stormy Sundays to multi-room Starlink and Wi-Fi access point installations. Where Andrew stands apart is his ability to solve problems that other tradies have already walked away from: multiple reviewers specifically note that previous technicians failed to fix their reception, cabling, or home theatre issues before Andrew diagnosed and resolved them in a single visit. His scope goes well beyond basic antenna work — reviewers mention wall-mounting frames as large as 85 inches with hidden cabling, installing commercial-grade Wi-Fi mesh networks, running network cables through split-level roofing, configuring CCTV systems, and integrating Foxtel, sound bars, and Starlink into existing setups. An apprentice accompanies Andrew on more involved jobs, with one reviewer noting the teamwork was evident in the quality of conduit runs and silicone-sealed entry points on a Starlink installation. He's well-suited to homeowners juggling multiple jobs at once — TV mounting, antenna, internet troubleshooting, and AV setup in a single visit — and is frequently called back by repeat customers across residential properties, investment rentals, and small businesses. His pricing draws consistent comment as competitive or below competing quotes, and he's known to come in under estimate on occasion.
Best for: homeowners with layered home entertainment problems that others couldn't fix, same-day or weekend antenna emergencies, multi-TV wall mounting with clean cable management, and Starlink or Wi-Fi installs across larger or split-level homes.

Does Southern Home Entertainment handle emergency or same-day callouts?+
Yes — multiple reviewers describe Andrew arriving within half an hour of calling, including on Sundays and during bad weather. One customer had an antenna blow down in strong winds and he was on-site the same day to repair it and replace cracked roof tiles while he was up there. Same-day and next-day bookings appear to be a regular part of how he operates, not a rare exception.
Can Andrew handle multiple jobs in a single visit — like TV mounting plus antenna plus Wi-Fi?+
That's actually one of his most mentioned strengths. Reviewers frequently describe him sorting out antenna issues, wall-mounting TVs with hidden cabling, troubleshooting Wi-Fi, and configuring Foxtel or Starlink all in one appointment. If you have a list of interconnected home entertainment problems, he appears to work through all of them rather than limiting the scope to a single trade.
What do customers say about his pricing?+
Pricing comes up frequently and consistently in positive terms — reviewers describe it as reasonable, competitive, and in several cases lower than quotes from other tradies for the same job. One customer noted the job came in under the original estimate. A real estate agent who uses him regularly specifically called out his pricing as part of why she recommends him to clients.
Is Andrew able to fix problems that other technicians couldn't solve?+
Several reviewers specifically mention calling Andrew after previous tradies failed — including one who describes a technician with 30 years' experience being unable to solve the problem Andrew fixed. Another customer had multiple people attempt to resolve reception, cabling, and internet issues before Andrew diagnosed and fixed everything in a single visit. If you've already had someone out who couldn't crack the problem, that experience appears to be his niche.
Does Southern Home Entertainment install Starlink and commercial Wi-Fi systems?+
Yes — reviews cover Starlink installations with conduit runs and sealed cable entry points, as well as commercial-grade Wi-Fi mesh setups for sheds, granny flats, and whole-home coverage including front and back yards. One reviewer had him connect a granny flat to their main Starlink service. He also quotes on CCTV camera systems, though not every customer proceeds with that part of the job.
