For consumer products: yes, without a doubt. Consumer cell phone signal boosters do not require professional installation. They're easy to set up. Although, it's perfectly fine to hire a local handyman, installer, or any profession that deals with running cable.

Finding the best place to install your outside antenna is a simple process.

1. Find dB readings on your phone
2. Walk around the outside perimeter of your home or office building
3. It takes time for dB values to refresh, so pause and hold every 30 seconds at each spot to get accurate readings.
4. The number closest to 0 is the best spot to install the antenna.

Check out this article for more on how to find dB readings on your phone.

For the inside antenna, it's best to install in the area you will be spending the most time using cell phones and other cellular devices.

For the amplifier, it's best to install in an easily accessible, well-ventilated place that doesn't collect much heat. Good choices include shelves, the wall, or in a closet.

For enterprise boosters (beyond 10K+ sq ft coverage), it's recommended to consult with a signal boosting technician who can properly look at floor plans, examine potential problem areas, and tailor a unique solution. Click here to get help.
