TV Mounting Options

 An extension cord or a surge protector with a long cord(recommended), may or may not be required in order to make a power connection. Wiring is simply dressed and plain in-sight. This is also the most economical approach.

 ***In New Jersey, only a licensed electrician or the owner of a single family dwelling are permitted install the power receptacle if not already there. It is also unlawful to run the TV power cord or an extension cord through the wall, as this creates a fire hazard.***

 There are many homes that have fire-blocks inside the wall making it impossible to install the wiring. They are essentially pieces of 2x4's (or 2x6's, depending on your framing) installed horizontally between the studs of a wall. 

They can mostly be found on walls shared with or above garages and kitchens, but may be elsewhere also. In these instances, a happy medium solution between exposed wiring and hidden wiring is by utilizing surface mounted raceways as depicted above.

 Although we aren't licensed to traditionally install your receptacle, there are alternative power options that we can provide for your TV's. The image above shows one type of solution. 

It is a pre-terminated outlet using in wall rated wiring and is code compliant in most places. It is simply supplied power by an included extension cord of up to 3-feet from an existing power outlet. 

In Reference to the image above, the only parts that are actually visible are the two round receptacles (one behind the TV and the other below it, the vertical portions between the TV and furniture are hidden inside the wall), and an extension cord connect the new lower receptacle to an existing power receptacle.
