TV Installation & Mounting Services in Auckland — Hire Today!

Mounting televisions on the wall has become increasingly popular in Auckland, replacing the traditional placement on cabinets or consoles. This method has several benefits, such as achieving the perfect viewing height and freeing up floor space in your room.

However, wall-mounting a television is not as straightforward as it appears. You need the correct bracket for your TV and ensure the wall can support its weight. This process requires specialised tools like a drill, tape measure, level, and stud finder. Additionally, some experience is necessary to confidently anchor your TV to wall studs capable of bearing its weight.

If you lack the tools, skills, or experience to hang your TV on your wall, a professional handyman from Ezy Peazy in Auckland can help. They will have all the necessary tools and skills to install your television and hang it safely on the wall.

TV Wall Mounting

You’ll need some help to safely mount your TV on the wall bracket. First, locate the mounting holes on the back of your TV and align them with those on the wall bracket. With your helper, lift the TV and align the holes with those on the bracket. Have your helper hold the TV steady while you thread the screws.

Once the TV feels secure, use a level on the bottom edge of the TV for a final check. If you need to make adjustments, loosen the screws slightly, reposition the TV, and then tighten the screws again while keeping the TV level. Finally, check the manual for any other steps, such as locking mechanisms or safety straps, and complete these.

Concealing Mounted TV Cables

Cables hanging from a wall-mounted TV can be an eyesore. One way to manage this is by using a cable management system available from DIY stores like Bunnings, Mitre 10, or PlaceMakers. These come in various forms, including surface-mounted cable covers and channels within your wall.

Surface-mounted cable covers are easy to install, and some are paintable to blend in with your wall. In-wall channels require cutting a shallow channel in the drywall but result in completely concealed cables. Whichever method you prefer, first bundle your cables with zip ties or cable sleeves, then run them through the channels.

Removing Mounts & Patching Holes

First, switch off your TV, unplug it for safety, and then get someone to help you unscrew and lift it from the mount. Next, find the screws that secure the mount to the wall and remove them. The mount should come away from the wall to reveal the screw holes left behind.

To patch these holes, get some spackle (drywall compound, also called Polyfilla), a putty knife, sandpaper, and a drop cloth. Wipe away any dust or debris around the holes, then clean the area with a damp cloth. Apply the spackle with the putty knife and fill each hole. Once filled, smooth out the spackle with the putty knife and let it dry. Once dry, sand the area to create a smooth, level surface, then apply a coat of matching paint.

Relocating Your TV

Relocating your TV to a new room or floor requires some planning. First, check if there’s an existing cable outlet or satellite dish access point near the new location. If not, you'll need to extend the signal through additional cables or a wireless solution.

Next, decide on the best position for a comfortable viewing experience, as mentioned earlier. Then, disconnect the cables from the back of your TV, remove it from its current mount, and carefully move it to its new location. At the new spot, reinstall the TV mount and reattach the TV and cables. Finally, reconnect any external devices like soundbars or gaming consoles.
