Mounting a flat screen can be difficult and take a lot of knowledge and electrical skill. You will have to not only need to know how to install and mount the flat screen TV but also how to properly protect your wiring and follow electrical code. Most importantly, NEVER RUN AN ELECTRICAL CORD OR EXTENSION CORD INSIDE YOUR WALL. Regular electrical cords and extension cords are not made for storing inside walls and could cause damage to you TV and your home. Certain things will need to be considered when you start planning to mount your television. Some of the things professional electricians like Nipper Electric can easily handle are:

  • Making sure the wall you choose is able to bear the load of the TV.

  • Knowing how to hide wires safely and according to NEC code.
  • Installing new, hidden outlets to securely plug in TVs while hiding wires.
  • Placing wiring in molding or in walls without damaging or affecting your home.
  • Knowing which tools are needed to properly install and mount the flat screen TV.

Mounting or installing a flat screen TV as a DIY project will not only eat up your time but your money too. You will need a number of specialized tools to drill holes in your wall, run wiring through the wall and attach the proper wiring to your TV. This is really a job that is best left to the professionals.
