There’s a specific kind of disappointment in mounting a TV yourself, standing back, and seeing a bundle of cables hanging down the wall like an afterthought.
Smart Green Electrical installs TVs, home theatres, and audio visual systems across Geelong, Torquay, and the Surf Coast, so the screen disappears into the room the way it does in a showroom, not the way it does after a Saturday afternoon DIY job.
Wall Mounting: Getting It Right
A proper TV wall mount comes down to three things most DIY installs get wrong.
What Matters Most:
- Finding real structural support, not just any point on the plasterboard
- Concealed cabling, run inside the wall rather than taped down the skirting
- Correct height and viewing angle, based on your seating distance
Get these right and the TV looks like it was always meant to be there.
Hiding the Cables Properly
The difference between a professional install and a DIY one is almost always visible in the cabling. A proper in-wall cable kit routes power and signal cables inside the wall cavity, so all you see is the TV and a small in-wall power point.
This isn’t just cosmetic. Cables run externally are a trip hazard, and power cables taped to a wall aren’t compliant the way a proper in-wall power point is.
Building Out a Full Home Theatre
If you’re going beyond a single TV mount, the key additions are multi-channel audio, universal control so one remote runs the TV, sound, and lighting together, and acoustic treatment if the room has hard floors and bare walls.
Our technicians in Ocean Grove and across the coast often plan this wiring alongside any smart home work, since running cabling once during a single visit is far cheaper than adding audio later.
