Getting Started
How do I get started?
Call one of our sales specialists and they will work with you on how to approach your project.
What will I need for my installation?
You will need the required cables of the components that you would like us to hook up for you. For example; if you would like our installer to hook up your high definition TV signal; you will also need a HDMI cable.
I didn't purchase any of these accessories when I bought my TV, can I order them from you?
Absolutely, we have access to many different products and accessories that our sales specialists can offer you.
Do I have to use your brackets and cables or can I purchase them elsewhere?
The choice is yours; we will use any bracket that you have purchased as long as it is compatible with your TV. If you have questions as to whether your accessories will work, please call us at 1-(877) 371-9871.
Will you install my TV over a fireplace?
Yes, we will mount your TV over your fireplace and we do not charge extra like many of our competitors. We will conceal the wires in your standard frame wall. If your fireplace will not allow wire fishing, we will offer a paintable wire molding to conceal wires. Make sure the video connection wire(s) you purchase have adequate length to reach your video source.
