The benefits of TV installation
Why have your smart TV placed on a mount and installed to your wall? Great question. There are many reasons why our customers make this decision. For some, it’s out of concern for the safety of their new flat screen TV while others may be looking to save some area in an apartment or home where space is limited.
These are just some of the benefits of mounting your TV on the wall:
Safer home and equipment
Safety is paramount for us. That means performing TV mounting services safely and ensuring that your TV, your family, and your home are kept safe after the work is finished. Do-it-yourselfers will often make an attempt at mounting a TV to the wall, sometimes with devastating results. Our technicians have seen the disastrous results of a TV mounted incorrectly and the damage that occurs in the form of a shattered TV and a dented floor. Not to mention the holes in the wall from where the mount was torn loose.
Professional installation helps you avoid these perils entirely. Not to mention the potential damage that can occur when a thin, lightweight flat screen TV is knocked over by mistake because it wasn’t mounted to a wall. That small set of legs that come with the television are not as secure and reliable to prevent the TV from toppling to the floor.
But a simple flat TV mount can help you avoid all that danger and keep your home and your TV safe.
More viewing angles
There’s no need to move seating arrangements in your living room or bedroom just to see the TV. Placing your smart TV on a tilt mount or swivel mount can give you the complete flexibility and versatility to position the TV however you wish.
Many mounts offer a wide range of options when you hang the TV on your wall. This allows for you to move the TV into the best position for viewing instead of relocating your seat in the room to get the best point of view.
This maneuverability makes wall mounting of the TV a far better option than resting your investment on custom furniture that can’t protect the TV from falling over.
More floor space
Many Long Island homes and apartments have a limited amount of open floor space and mounting your TV to the wall can help you preserve what precious little you do have. Any room of the home, whether it’s the bedroom, the living room, the kitchen, we can mount your smart TV to any wall and leave you with more square footage to use for other purposes.
Our technicians can offer multiple TV installation options to fit your needs. When it comes to room size and wall materials, we’ve seen it all before and our team knows exactly how to mount your TV so that it remains on the wall until you wish to remove or replace it.
Buying a new TV shouldn’t mean losing square footage. Long Island TV Mounting a smart TV means you have plenty of options for arranging and decorating your home.

Schedule an appointment
You can contact us through the booking portal on our website. It’s quick and easy, just fill out the requested information and we can address your installation needs. Before you get started, here are some things you’ll need to know when you schedule your appointment:
Size of your television
The size of your smart TV is crucial for knowing the best way in which to mount it to the wall. Your TV is measured in inches and it’s most likely you decided on your purchase based on the size. But if you are still unsure, you can find the measurement on the outside of the box the TV arrived in or you may find it on a label at the back of the unit. If you’re still unable to tell, simply use a tape measure to measure the screen from top to bottom, diagonally. That will give you the proper measurement of the unit and help to determine which mount is best for the TV.
Type of mount
There are a wide variety of mounts available. You should have some idea what you want in a mount before we come over to install it. If you’re not sure, we can offer you some tips on which mount is the right one for you and your home.
Location for installation
Choose the wall location for your TV. We can mount your TV in any room of the home, we can mount your TV indoors or outdoors. It’s entirely up to you, but we will need to have some idea which location you’ve selected before the installer arrives. If you’re not sure we can help by giving you some professional advice on making your decision.
Choose your date and time
We can work around your schedule. If you have a specific date and time that is best for you, let us know and we can schedule the appointment for that day and time. If you have some flexibility we can work out a day that’s best for everyone. Don’t worry if you need to reschedule, simply let us know and we can arrange to have the installer come to your home at a day and time that is better for you.

As a rule, the center of a 42” TV should be mounted about 56 inches from the floor, a 55” TV around 61 inches, a 65” TV around 65 inches, and a 70” TV around 67 inches. But the exact mounting height will vary depending on your eye level, which will vary depending on the height of your seats, couch, or bed.

Can I mount a TV myself?
- A FAILURE TO ACHOR YOUR TV PROPERLY The one thing that usually springs to mind when we’re talking about TV installation and mounting gone wrong, is having the TV fall off the wall. One of the reasons that this happens is because you have not anchored your television to the wall or that you have improperly anchored the TV to the wall. You should ALWAYS anchor your TV when wall mounting and when you do anchor your television to the wall, you have to be sure to use anchors that are rated for the weight of your television and designed for use with your mounting surface.
- DROPPING YOUR TV
It’s true that televisions are getting lighter these days, but the weight of your TV isn’t the only thing to consider when it comes to being able to properly hold, lift, and install it. The shape and size of your television also play a role in being able to manage your television and this only becomes more challenging when you have to lift and mount that TV to your wall! Even with friends on hand to help you, dropping your TV is a real risk. - ABOUT THAT POWER CORD…
When you tackle your own TV installation and mounting, it’s not uncommon to underestimate the length of your TV’s power cord. This is dangerous for a few reasons. Firstly, utilizing an extension cord is simply not something you should consider if you have other alternatives. Extension cords can be fire hazards and tripping hazards. Secondly, if you stretch your TV power cord to reach a power source because you underestimated the distance between the plug and your television, that stretching can compromise the integrity of the cord and pose a fire hazard or in the very least, cause your TV to malfunction. - ELECTROCUTION
Yes, we know, it sounds dramatic, but electrocution is a real risk when you try TV installation and mounting without experience with electric. Firstly, if you have no idea what you are doing, there’s a chance that you could hit wiring when installing your TV mount. Although this isn’t as likely as improperly wiring your television or improperly running wiring when trying to hide it behind the wall. Our advice is that you never interfere with the electrical system in your home unless you have training as an electrician. - USING THE WRONG CABLES
Did you know that when you install your television wiring behind the wall of your home, that you have to use cables that are rated for in-wall use? When you utilize any cables for in-wall installation they have to be rated for in-wall use to ensure that they do not pose any hazards to human health and safety. - PROBLEMS WITH MOUNTING
When you take on TV installation and mounting yourself, it isn’t uncommon to step back when you’ve finished and to realize that you have mounted your television at the wrong level. The instinct for most people is to tug on that mount or push it upward in hopes that you can fix the issue without having to completely reinstall. Don’t. Tugging, pulling, or pushing your wall-mounted television can compromise the integrity of the solid anchor system you have put in place and that can end up with your TV falling off the wall! - CRIPPLING INJURY
It’s one of the last things that most people think about when considering the dangers of DIY television installation and mounting, but injury is a real risk that can wind up impacting the rest of your life. Whether you injure your back from lifting, twisting, straining, or reaching, or whether you hurt your neck while taking care of construction aspects of the install, you run the risk of an injury that will permanently affect the rest of your life. You may think that this is only a consideration for less physically fit people, but injury can happen to anyone.
Can you mount a TV on any wall?
- Drywall
- Sheetrock

What are the advantages of mounting my tv?
There are many reasons why TV wall mounts are becoming more popular for many individuals. Many TVs are now thin and lightweight enough to be easily mounted and come with holes for TV mounting, but installation can require additional effort. Below are a handful of the pros of TV wall mounts.
- Space Saving and Protected from Children and Pets:
One of the most significant benefits of a wall-mounted TV is that because the TV is mounted to the wall, there is no need for a bulky TV stand to take up floor space and the TV is safely out of reach of children and pets. Not only does mounting your TV on the wall with a bracket help protect the screen, but it also makes the room feel more spacious and opens up design possibilities. - Sleek and Modern Finish:
If you are looking for your space to feel sleek and modern, a TV wall mount is the right choice for you. Not only is it an ideal option for smaller spaces, but it is also a stylistic choice that is both practical and aesthetically appealing. - Easily Customizable to Create the Ideal Viewing Experience:
Unlike a TV stand, a TV wall mount allows you to customize where your TV is so that it is perfect for your viewing experience and the orientation of the room and furniture. You can choose a specific height for your TV wall mount and allow for additional tilting or positioning for the best viewing experience. If you’re wondering how to choose a TV wall mount, the features of the wall mount and its customizability will be key to consider.
