Tip the installer?

[Volman]

Getting a 5lnb dish(to replace a 3 lnb) and an HR20 to replace an HR10-250 this week.Should be a reasonably easy installation..........but.......is it advisable to tip the installer?If yes,do you let him know before the install?And how much is reasonable?I've never tipped an installer before,but if it helps get a better job,it may be worthwhile.

I've had two installations. One by E* back in 01 and the latest by D* in 07. Both were very proffesional and personable. I felt they both earned a tip for the job they performed. However, if they botched anything or I wasn't happy with their work, I wouldn't have a problem not tipping an installer.
