How to hire a tv mounting pro in Canada
- Confirm wall type and TV size before quoting — most Canadian homes are drywall on wood studs, which keeps rates at the low end
- Ask for proof of liability insurance and, for incorporated installers, WCB/WSIB coverage
- New outlets behind the TV must be installed by a licensed electrician — in Ontario that work falls under the Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) and usually needs a notification/permit
- Check reviews on Google or HomeStars that mention your TV size and wall type
- Get the all-in written price including mount hardware and cable concealment
- In condos, check whether building rules require drilling work at set hours or board notification for concrete walls
TV mounting is unlicensed handyman work across Canada, but adding a receptacle is regulated electrical work — in Ontario it must go through an ESA-licensed electrical contractor, and Quebec requires RBQ/CMEQ-licensed electricians. Concealed low-voltage cabling should be in-wall rated (FT4/CMR class).

Frequently asked questions
Can a soundbar or games console be installed at the same time?
Yes, and it is cheaper to bundle than to book twice. Soundbar brackets attach either to the wall below the TV or to the TV mount itself. Consoles and set-top boxes go on a small floating shelf or behind-TV bracket. Expect a modest add-on charge per extra device, plus cable management for each.
How long does TV mounting take?
A standard install on a stud or masonry wall takes 30-90 minutes. Add 1-2 hours if cables are being concealed inside the wall, and more again for above-fireplace installs or walls that need reinforcement. Book a 2-hour window to be safe.
What is the difference between fixed, tilting, and full-motion mounts?
Fixed mounts sit flattest against the wall and are cheapest. Tilting mounts angle down 5-15 degrees — useful when the TV sits above eye level. Full-motion (articulating) mounts extend and swivel, which suits corner installs or rooms with multiple viewing positions; they cost the most and need the most secure fixing because the load hangs away from the wall.
Will the installer dismount my old TV or move an existing mount?
Most will, as a small add-on — typically a quarter to half the price of a fresh install. Dismount-and-remount in a new home (or after moving the sofa) is a standard job; mention it when booking so the installer brings patching filler for the old holes.
Can a TV be mounted on a concrete condo wall in Canada?
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.
Who can add a power outlet behind my TV in Canada?
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.
