Television Installation

If you have made the decision to invest in a new high-definition television, you have likely spent countless hours researching the various types of televisions – smart TVs, Ultra HD 4k screens, plasma, and even 3D. You’ve probably also researched hardware, operating systems and other onboard technology. After all that work, you realized you’ve overlooked the installation!

And you’re probably coming up with a lot of new questions, such as Where’s the outlet? How do I hide the cables? Will my circuit handle the new load?

Don’t worry. Your neighborhood electricians at WIREONE can help you with all of this and more.

Why should I hire an electrician to install my new television?

Installing a new flat screen TV requires more than simply plugging the unit in. Most systems use multiple components: the television or projector, the DVD or Blu-ray player, the cable box, the stereo system and however many speakers you wish to include (usually anywhere from five to ten). All of them require proper organization and connections, as well as an evenly balanced power load. WIREONE can help distribute that load evenly, and make sure your system can handle the demand without tripping the circuit breakers. Some systems need to be hard wired into your home, something which should only be done by a professional.

All of those components need to be connected to each other, and in the case of speakers must sometimes run the length of the entire room in order to do their job. An amateur job may leave wires in a dangerous tangle or stretched across parts of the room such as doorways and walkways. An electrician can run the wiring through the walls, as well as keeping the connections safe and clear to ensure the best viewing experience possible.

How much of an electrical load will my television create?

A big screen television alone won’t strain your home’s electrical system. However, when you factor in all the other components you are likely to add, such as gaming systems, speakers, digital recording device, and others, you are likely talking about a significant electrical load. WIREONE will test your system to make sure that your home’s wiring can support the demand from the home theater. If any upgrades are needed, you can feel confident that the new circuits and wiring will be installed by a qualified professional.

How can I hide the cords for my new television?

While multimedia components and wireless speakers may seem like a great option because you want a more streamlined look, you may have to sacrifice quality when you cut the cord. Instead of sacrificing on quality, WIREONE can hide all the cords used by your entertainment system. This will ensure there are no cords showing and keep all your existing decor in place. We can also install new outlets to create a clean, professional look.

How can I protect my home theater from power surges?

Chances are you already use a surge protector to help safeguard your home computer against possible power surges. However, your new entertainment system is going to be just as vulnerable and a single strike of lightning can damage thousands of dollars of equipment. While it is possible to protect all your new devices with surge protection adapters, a better option is to have a whole-home surge protection system installed. This will eliminate the need for clunky power strips and safeguard all of the appliances and electronics in your home.
