Hidden TV Wires
Let’s face it: dangling TV wires are an eyesore. They detract from the clean lines of your living room and can even be a safety hazard, especially if you have kids or pets. Luckily, there’s a simple solution: hiding your TV wires inside the wall.
At Huntsville Wire and Home, we specialize in creating a clean, professional look for your home entertainment setup. Hiding your TV wires involves running the power cable and HDMI cables (or whatever cables you need) behind the wall, from the TV’s location down to an outlet and connection point near the floor. This eliminates visible wires and gives your living space a much more polished appearance.
Here’s how the process typically works:
1. Assessment: We’ll evaluate your wall type (drywall, plaster, etc.) and identify the best path for running the wires.
2. Preparation: We’ll carefully cut small holes in the wall behind the TV and near the floor. These holes will be large enough to accommodate the cables and any necessary wall plates.
3. Wiring: Using specialized tools, we’ll fish the wires through the wall cavity. This often involves using a fish tape or flexible drill bit to navigate around studs and insulation.
4. Connections: We’ll connect the wires to electrical outlets and install wall plates with HDMI and other necessary connections at both the top and bottom locations.
5. Testing: We’ll test all connections to ensure everything is working properly.
6. Finishing: We’ll patch the holes in the wall and sand them smooth. Depending on the level of service, this might include painting to match your existing wall color. (We can advise on the best approach or coordinate with a painter.)
Cost Considerations:
The cost of hiding TV wires can vary depending on several factors, including the complexity of the job, the type of wall, and whether you need additional electrical outlets installed. A basic wire-hiding job might range from $150 to $300. More complex installations, especially those requiring new outlet installation or dealing with challenging wall construction, could cost more. Getting a quote is always the best way to budget.
Benefits Beyond Aesthetics:
While the primary benefit is a cleaner look, hiding TV wires also improves safety by eliminating tripping hazards and preventing curious children or pets from tampering with the cables. It also makes cleaning easier, as you won’t have to navigate around a tangled mess of wires.
