Thinking About Mounting Your New TV? Consult Your New York Homeowners Insurance Before Installing
TV wall mounts have been designed to be easily put up by a homeowner who has fairly basic carpentry skills. However, installation of a TV wall mount may also require some electrical work to conceal the cables in the wall cavity. This part of the installation should be carried out by a licensed electrical contractor to avoid compromising your New York homeowners insurance coverage.
A TV wall mount is a device for mounting flat screen LCD or plasma TVs onto a wall. There are many different designs on the market, and designs are available in several sizes to suit different weights and screen sizes. Choose a design of TV wall mount that suits the type of TV it supports:
- Arm mounts that allow you to swing the TV away from the wall can be suitable for small screen TVs that are watched in the kitchen.
- Tilting wall mounts are designed for large screen LCD or plasma TVs that will be viewed from chairs in the living room. This type of mount allows the TV to be placed high up on the wall and the screen can be tilted to offer the best viewing angle.
- Motorized TV wall mounts that allow you to adjust the viewing angle remotely are suitable for large viewing rooms with multiple seating positions.
Most TV wall mounts are relatively inexpensive pieces of hardware and the mounting of the hardware on the wall is a simple job for a home handy person. Concealing TV cables in the wall cavity is a job best done by a professional.
