While front entry doors seem to get all the attention (with “oohs and aahs” reserved for decorative glass inserts or fancy sidelites), it’s really the overhead garage door that can make or break your home’s curb appeal.

This year at Puls has been one for the books. We’ve grown in many ways throughout 2018, adding thousands of new markets, services and technicians nationwide. Check out our 2018 year in review for a recap of all the exciting things that happened this year at Puls.

For those of you old enough to have enjoyed Disney’s 101 Dalmatians, you may remember the classic image of little Lucky sitting with his nose practically glued to the TV screen. Unfortunately, it turns out, this means that Lucky wasn’t viewing his favorite shows in optimal angular resolution (in addition to his natural inability to access the full color spectrum).

We’ve all been in this situation - you casually open the fridge or turn on the dishwasher, only to find that it’s not working or simply won’t turn on. Yes, it’s extremely unfortunate, but rather than panicking, it’s best to focus your energy on how you can proceed and get your appliance up and running as quickly as possible.

Not only does mounting your TV on the wall save space, it also looks great – a wall-mounted TV lends a sleek and minimalistic look to your space that complements any room’s décor.

Have you been thinking about mounting your TV on the wall, but put it off because you weren't really sure what was involved? Even though you know that mounting your TV will save some space, look better, and provide a more comfortable viewing experience, you may be hesitant to tackle this project.

We get asked this question a lot – usually by people concerned about viewing angles and getting the optimal picture out of their television. Unless your screen is picking up some pretty intense glare, though, we recommend that when deciding how high to mount a TV, you take comfort into account first.

Remember when cell phones were so small they could fit inside any pocket with room to spare? Obviously, the trend has changed as today's smartphones have become mini computers that work best with bigger and bigger screen sizes.

We’re all familiar with the old saying, “What goes up must come down,” but when it comes to mounting a TV to your wall, you want to make sure that your expensive new set doesn’t come down until you want it to.

Summary: Aniekan is a Puls technician in San Francisco, CA, who specializes in TV mounting and installation. He appreciates the flexibility and opportunity he gets by working with Puls. And he enjoys helping customers create their ideal vision of what their home can be.

Sure, if your only goal is to outdo your showboat of a neighbor (who drives around in a convertible in December, anyway?!), then you probably don’t need a TV size guide – though you might need to build a bigger wall to hang your TV on.

So you just brought home a big, beautiful, brand new TV to put on the wall and you can’t wait to watch the latest episode of your favorite show in lovely high definition? Congrats!

Summary: Mariam hired Puls to mount two large TVs in her new apartment in San Jose. Not only did Puls make it easy to schedule an appointment, but the technician arrived on time and did a perfect job.

There's never a good time for your refrigerator to stop working, but there can definitely be a worst time — like just after you've stocked up on food for your holiday meals. You could try to move everything into coolers or to your neighbor's fridge, but just imagine the mess, the inconvenience, and the expense. It's definitely not the way you'll want to start out the holidays.

There may have been a time when the only factors going into buying a television were size and whether you wanted to spring for color or play the thrifty card and stick with good old black and white. Fortunately, that time is long gone.
