TV Mounting in Longueuil

For seated viewing, the centre of the screen should sit at seated eye level — roughly 100-110 cm (40-43 inches) from the floor for a sofa. For a 65-inch TV that means the bottom edge sits around 60-70 cm up. Mount higher only if you use a tilting mount, e.g. above a fireplace or in a bedroom viewed from the bed.

Yes — brick and concrete are actually stronger than drywall for mounting. The installer uses a hammer drill and masonry anchors (sleeve or wedge anchors). It costs more than a stud wall because drilling is slower and cable concealment usually has to run in surface trunking rather than inside the wall.

Most TV mounting jobs are priced as a flat rate per TV, driven by three things: TV size, mount type (fixed, tilting, or full-motion), and wall material. Drywall or plasterboard with timber studs is the cheapest; brick, concrete, or above-fireplace installs cost more. Cable concealment is usually a separate add-on. Ask for the all-in price for your exact TV size and wall type before booking.

A professional installer should carry public liability insurance that covers wall damage and a dropped or fallen TV. Ask for proof before booking, and ask whether they guarantee their fixings (many offer 12 months or lifetime on workmanship). Keep the receipt — home insurance claims for fallen TVs often hinge on showing it was professionally installed.

Yes — high-rise condo party walls and exterior walls are often poured concrete, mounted with wedge or sleeve anchors using a hammer drill. Expect a premium over drywall rates, surface raceway instead of in-wall concealment, and check your condo bylaws: some boards restrict drilling hours or require notice.

A licensed electrician only. In Ontario, the work must be done or declared through an ESA-licensed contractor; other provinces have equivalent bodies (e.g., Technical Safety BC). Many TV installers partner with an electrician — bundling it into one visit typically costs less than two call-outs.
