Do you have a Plasma TV that needs to be installed? You’ve come to the right place because MediaComs can provide you with a professional TV installer who can do the job right.
Installing Plasma TV above a fireplace is a great space-saver.
The fireplace often serves as the focal point in any living room. Oftentimes, when you have limited space within your living room, one viable option is placing your big-screen plasma TV over the fireplace. Our professional installers can assist you in installing your plasma TV over your fireplace.
Remember though that there are some factors to consider when your are thinking about installing a Plasma TV above a fireplace.
1. Ambient Temperature – Check if the area around your fireplace maintains a temperature of not more than 90 degrees Fahrenheit (32 degrees Celsius). Any hotter than this can cause residual damage to your plasma TV. One way to do this is to place your hand on the wall above the fireplace where you are planning to place your plasma TV. If the heat doesn’t burn your hand then it is typically safe for your plasma TV too. Make sure that the fireplace is properly vented and is not trapping heat. Our Professionals can check this for you if there is a need to do so.
2. Viewing Height – Normally, television viewing heights should be at eye-level, or at least not more than a few inches above your head. Tilt wall mountings is a great option for this kinds of situation, but this requires drilling through walls or bricks to do it correctly. It is much better, and definitely safer, to have professionals do this job for you. Our team of installers have the necessary skill and experience with these kinds of work.
3. Audio-Visual Wiring – One important question is where to run the wires from the audio and video components that you wish to connect to your plasma TV. Our team of professionals can run these wires from the ceiling, basement or any cabinet that holds your audio-visual components. They can make use of wall clips to run these wires along the edges of the wall to help conceal them.
