You’ve researched different models, compared prices, and finally found just the right flat screen. For optimum viewing pleasure, the next step is mounting the television to a wall in your home. It may be tempting to make this a do-it-yourself project, but the task can be risky and time-consuming. Professional technicians have the training and equipment to quickly and safely conduct proper TV mounting. Here’s how they do it. 

How the Experts Mount Televisions to Walls

1. Determine the Best Mounting Spot

The first step a professional will take is locating the best spot to hang the TV. They use a stud finder to pinpoint wall studs, which is a must for hanging the television’s frame.

Ideally, the middle of the TV screen should be at eye level when standing directly in front of it. In some cases, the studs may not line up with the holes in the TV’s mounting brackets. A trained technician will conduct precise measurements to drill additional holes so that the studs are in alignment.

2. Run Electrical in Walls

After the TV mounting location is marked, the next phase is securing the device’s electrical wires. A professional technician will double-check that the wires are safe for an in-wall installation. This may include adding channeling to run wires from the TV to a nearby outlet. The channeling conceals the wires and keeps them from becoming a tangled mess.   

3. Mount the TV

The television’s frame is then installed. The technician will take the extra time and precaution to verify that the mount and frame are properly lined up.

For expert leveling, it may require adjusting the TV’s height by ½ or ¼ of an inch. Bolts may need additional tightening or loosening to secure the mount. Rest assured, an experienced specialist will use the proper tools and techniques to triple check that the TV is mounted perfectly and safely.
