Let’s start simple – how much does it cost to get that entertainment marvel up on the wall? The average cost to mount a TV ranges from $158 to $360, including labor.

You’ll want to take time to research the items you’ll need to meet your specific requirements before finalizing your budget. ### TV Size   There is a direct correlation between the size of the TV and the cost to mount it. Small televisions require a less expensive, smaller mounting bracket so it will cost less than the larger counterpart. - **Under 31 inches**—this is the least expensive size and easiest to install. **Average Cost: $15 - $120** - **32 - 60 inches**—this is an average size for today’s families. It is a relatively easy installation with the most flexibility for mounting bracket styles. **Average Cost: $30 - $30**0 - **61 to 80 inches**—as electronics have improved, larger TV sizes have become more desirable as picture quality is exceptional. **Average Cost: $40 - $500** - **Over 81 inches**—this is for the ultimate entertainment experience but may prove very complicated to install and expensive. **Average Cost: $50 - $600.** ### TV Mount Type   When mounting a TV, you’ll [need a bracket](https://blog.puls.com/best-tv-mounting-bracket) that holds your TV to the wall. It not only needs to fit your TV and be able to hold its weight, but also should present your TV at a proper angle for viewing. - **Fixed**—this type holds the TV in one place and does not tilt or move. It provides a low profile so fits in tight spaces. **Average** **Cost: $39 - $150** - **Tilting**—this option allows you to tilt the TV up or down for easier viewing. **Average Cost: $41 - $300.** - **Full Motion**—also known as an articulating TV mount, these offer the most movement but are most expensive. Full-motion allows the television to move side to side, up or down, and at a variety of angles to achieve the optimum viewing position. **Average Cost: $44 - $500** - **Over Fireplace**—locating your TV over your fireplace can be challenging. It’s not recommended to mount over a working gas or wood fireplace due to overheating and possible damage to wires. **Average Cost: $39 to $700**   ## [Save 50 percent on all mounting brackets,](https://puls.com/create-appointment/tv-mounting/q1) ## [call today](https://puls.com/create-appointment/tv-mounting/q1)     ### Wall Type   You may not have given a lot of thought to the type of wall material you’ll need to deal with when mounting your TV. While drywall surfaces are most common, many people want to install on harder materials like brick, concrete, and stone. These will usually cost more due to the amount of labor involved and the special tools needed. - **Stone wall**—the average cost to mount a TV will be more for this hard surface due to special tools, mounting bracket and hardware needed. It will take longer to install and the increased cost is reflective of additional labor needed. **Average Cost: $200 - $800** - **Brick wall**—this hard surface may require a little more work due to drilling into or around mortar areas. **Average Cost: $200 - $800** - **Concrete wall**—special hardware and mounting brackets are needed to properly install a TV on concrete. This material is unforgiving so leave this to a professional. **Average Cost: $200 - $800** ### Cable Wires   [Cord concealment](https://blog.puls.com/hide-tv-wires) is typically an upcharge to TV mounting. You can choose to hide cables in-wall or use cable management covers that surround the cables. Concealment kits cost between $69 and $100. Burying the cables in the wall, depending on wall type, can cost between $150 and $250 or more. You may need an electrician if your wiring doesn’t meet all fire and building codes.   ### Labor Cost   You can attempt to mount your own television on the wall and save around $200 in labor costs. You may need another person to assist with bigger/heavier models. Professional mounting should be considered for the expertise and experience a company can provide. Although costs will be more than doing the work yourself, knowing the job is done safely and correctly will provide peace of mind and security for your equipment. ### Complexity of the Process   Mounting your TV on the wall is more than just choosing a spot, drilling some holes, and turning it on. The process can be complicated with details you may never have considered: - Deciding the **perfect viewing angle** - **Where to place** the cable box, sound bar, DVD player, video game console, smart home assistant, and other devices - Location of **power outlet** (proximitity to the TV and other devices) - **Proper tools, hardware, and other required installation supplies** - **Reconnection and calibration** of all equipment and peripherals - **Cable concealment**   ## Other TV Mounting Cost Factors   Professional technicians all specialize in providing you with the full spectrum of [TV installation](http://puls.com/tv-mounting) options – including cord concealment, installing the sound system, and even setting up your remote.
