TV Installation vs TV Mounting — What's the Difference?

If you've been searching for "TV installation near me" one minute and "TV mounting service" the next, you're not alone. These are two names for the exact same service — securely attaching your TV to the wall so it looks clean, sits level, and doesn't fall.

This post breaks down what's actually included when you hire someone to mount your TV, the three service tiers we offer, and how to book in under two minutes.

TV Installation and TV Mounting Mean the Same Thing

TV mounting. TV installation. TV hanging. TV wall mount installation. These all describe the same job: a technician comes to your home, finds the studs in your wall, attaches a mounting bracket, hangs your TV on it, and levels everything so it looks straight and sits securely.

The reason you see different phrases is just how people naturally talk about it. Some say "I need my TV installed," others say "I need my TV mounted." Search engines treat them as different queries, but the service you're booking is identical.

No matter what you call it, here's what matters: your TV ends up on the wall, level, and safe.

What's Included in a Professional TV Installation

Every TV installation starts the same way — stud finding, bracket mounting, TV attachment, and leveling. Where the tiers differ is what happens with your cables.

Basic Mount — $140

Your TV goes on the wall. That's it. The cables (HDMI, power cord, streaming device wires) hang freely from the bottom of the TV down to your outlet or entertainment center. This is the fastest option and works well if you have furniture directly below the TV to hide the cables behind.

This is our TV Mounting (Only) service.

Cables Covered — $200

Same wall mount, but we also install a cable raceway — a slim plastic channel that runs from the TV down to your outlet or furniture. It covers all visible cables in a clean line and can be painted to match your wall. This is the most popular option for renters because it requires no holes beyond the mount itself.

This is our TV Mounting + Cables Covered service.

Full In-Wall — $600

The cleanest possible result. We install a power outlet directly behind the TV and route all cables inside the wall so nothing is visible at all. No cables, no raceway, no cord covers — just a TV floating on the wall. This requires cutting into drywall and is best for homeowners or anyone who wants a truly seamless look.

This is our TV Mounting + Power Outlet + Cable in Wall service.

When You Might Need More Than Just a Mount

Mounting the TV is often the main event, but there are a few common add-ons that customers book alongside it:

  • Soundbar mounting ($70) — We mount your soundbar directly below the TV instead of sitting it on a shelf. Cleaner look, better audio positioning.
  • LED strip installation ($50) — Backlight strips behind the TV for ambient lighting. Looks great at night and reduces eye strain.
  • Floating stand ($200) — A wall-mounted shelf below the TV for your cable box, streaming device, or game console. No bulky furniture needed.

These are separate services you can add to your cart during booking. You pick exactly what you need.
