what is the average cost to install a plasma TV above a fireplace? and who does installation?

Question

fireplace does have a mantel and glass fireplace doors already.

Answer 1

the brackets to mount the plasma are around 200 dollars to mount the plasma ,you need two installers average time is 2 hrs so the labor and mics. cables 200-300 dollars so expect to pay around 400-500 dollars for the job including parts and labor look for a local electronic company in your area that sell plasmas .some large big box retailers have install personal so start at where you bought the tv then go from there

Answer 2

Having it done professionally depends on where you live and what sort of installation you want. It could range from a couple of hundred on up. Do you want the wires to be run inside the wall? Are you installing surround sound as well? Do you need to install an outlet?

Installing the bracket and hanging the TV is the easy part, its in getting the cables and such to the TV that makes the job more difficult.

Answer 3

There's two ways. One is a "stand", and the other is to mount it to the wall. Check with wherever you bought it to see if they offer a service or a kit to do it yourself.

Also go googling and as a serch term use the manufacturer and model number with the words installation kit (Toshiba KS-4590 installation kit). You may have to add to word 'plasma', but you shoudn't have to. Then you can order the kit yourself or at least get an idea of the $$$.

The hard part is going through the walls annd stuff if you want it to look good. Check with friends that have one too, t see who and how theirs got done.
