Wire Concealment Options for Premium Service
In-Wall vs On-Wall Wire Concealment
Requires Power Outlet Behind the TV
Low-voltage cables (like HDMI) can run safely through the wall, but running a standard TV power cord inside a wall violates building code. To hide power legally, the TV must plug directly into a recessed electrical outlet or a Bridge-Style Power Kit installed behind the screen.
Note: In-wall wire concealment is not possible on concrete, brick, or exterior plaster walls.
Budget Friendly
Both low-voltage and power cables are neatly bundled inside a paintable, low-profile cover that adheres directly to any flat wall. A highly budget-friendly option that achieves a clean look without the added expense of installing a new high-level electrical outlet.
Power Cords CANNOT be Hidden Inside the Wall
The ONLY way you can hide a TV power cord out of sight and comply with building code is to plug it into a power outlet behind the TV. If you don’t have an existing outlet up high on the wall, here are your options:
Install Bridge-Style Power Kit
We supply & install a Bridge-Style Power Kit. This is the most cost-effective power solution suitable for most setups with a component stand below the TV.
IDEAL WHEN
- You plan to put furniture or a stand below the TV to hide the power inlet & HDMI cables coming out of the wall below
- You don’t have an existing electrical outlet dedicated for the TV behind where it will be mounted
- You want to use a quality Surge Protector / Power Conditioner / UPS for your TV
Install New Electrical Outlet
You will need to hire a Licensed Electrical Contractor to get an outlet installed prior to booking for TV wall mounting.
IDEAL WHEN
- You have a Smart TV and ONLY intend to use Smart TV Apps & Wi-Fi with NO components connected
- You plan to keep components out of sight elsewhere — only the TV hanging on the wall with nothing around it
- You want to install a component wall shelf below or above your TV with nothing on the floor
Is Your TV Installation Up to Code?
TV wire concealment should always follow local building codes. Unfortunately, many low-cost installers across Toronto and the GTA routinely ignore these regulations. Most notably, running a standard TV power cord directly inside a drywall cavity is a severe code violation and a serious fire hazard.
At Custom AVI, we never cut corners. We use code-compliant bridge-style power kits for clean, lawful wire management, and we show raw, unedited photos of our process right here on our website. Partner with us to ensure your installation is safe, secure, and fully up to code.
Limitations That Apply to Certain Walls
Your wall type determines which mount styles, wire concealment methods, and outlets are possible. Select your building type below to see what applies to you.
In Toronto condos and commercial buildings, there are two types of walls — Drywall with metal studs, and Concrete wall.
Drywall with Metal Studs
Most common in condos, lofts, apartments & commercial buildings
- Wall cavity available — cables can be fished / hidden in wall
- On-wall wire raceway (cable cover) compatible
- Tilting or fixed/slim TV mount works well
- Full-motion mount not suitable for heavy TVs on metal studs
- New cable jack or power outlet possible (conditional)
Concrete Wall
Found behind drywall in many condos, lofts & high-rises
- No wall cavity — cables cannot be fished or hidden inside
- On-wall wire raceway (cable cover) compatible
- Tilting or fixed/slim TV mount works well
- Full-motion mount works on concrete (no weight limit)
- Cannot install new cable jack or power outlet
Older homes and buildings in the GTA typically have wood studs with drywall or plaster walls, each with different considerations.
Interior Plaster Wall
Plaster, lathe & wooden studs — separates rooms inside the house
- Wall cavity available — cables can be fished / hidden in wall
- On-wall wire raceway (cable cover) compatible
- Full-motion mount works well on wood studs
- Heavy TV mounts supported when anchored to studs
- New cable jack or power outlet possible
Exterior Plaster Wall
Plaster, lathe & soft bricks — separates inside from outside
- No wall cavity — cables cannot be fished or hidden inside
- On-wall wire raceway (cable cover) compatible
- Tilting or fixed TV mount can be installed on exterior plaster
- Full-motion mount cannot be installed on exterior plaster
- New cable jack or power outlet NOT possible
What Our Clients Say
“Andrew installed and calibrated my projector — a very large unit requiring mounting into a concrete ceiling. He was extremely effective and efficient. An absolute pleasure to have onsite and I’m extremely happy with the result!”
“Andrew arrived on time and took great care to ensure the mount was positioned perfectly and securely. The whole process was quick and efficient, and they cleaned up after themselves. Highly recommend!”
“Andrew did a great job cleaning up a previous installer’s mess and installing new equipment. He tested everything, educated me and cleaned up afterwards. If I ever need more work, I will definitely use him again.”
“Andrew installed a Samsung Frame 65″ above my fireplace flawlessly — including the enclosure for the One Connect box and a smart switch so I can restart the TV remotely. Great service, would recommend!”
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before booking your TV wall mount installation in Toronto.
How much does TV wall mounting cost in Toronto?
TV wall mounting in Toronto starts at $200 for Basic Installation (standard drywall, TV up to 55″/50 lbs) and $250 for Premium Installation which includes wire concealment and component connection. Add-ons such as condo surcharges (+$50), plaster walls (+$50), oversized TVs (+$20), and bridge-style power kits (+$150) may apply. See our full pricing breakdown above.
Can you hide all the cables, including the power cord?
HDMI and other low-voltage cables can be hidden inside the wall on drywall surfaces. However, a standard TV power cord cannot legally be run inside a wall — it’s a building code violation and a fire hazard. To fully hide the power cord, you need either an existing outlet behind the TV location, or we can install a bridge-style power kit (starting from $150) which is the most popular and cost-effective solution.
Can you mount a TV on a concrete wall in my condo?
Yes — concrete walls are one of the most secure surfaces for TV mounting. Concrete anchors provide a very solid hold with no weight limit concerns. The limitations are that cables cannot be hidden inside the wall, and new electrical outlets cannot be added. On-wall wire raceway (cable cover) is the best wire management option for concrete.
Do you supply the TV mount, or should I buy my own?
We supply quality TV mounts starting from $80, or you can provide your own (a $20 customer-supplied mount fee applies). We strongly recommend letting us supply the mount — we carry commercial-grade Sanus, Vogel’s, and Chief brackets rated for your specific TV size and weight, and we stand behind the hardware with our 1-year workmanship warranty.
Should I mount my TV above the fireplace?
It’s one of the most popular TV mounting locations and we do it regularly — but there are important factors to consider. Heat from a wood-burning fireplace can damage a TV over time, so gas fireplaces are generally safer. Viewing angle is the other concern: above a fireplace is often too high for comfortable long-term viewing. We’ll always give you honest guidance on height and angle before we start. Wire concealment above a fireplace is quoted separately due to the added complexity.
What is a bridge-style power kit and do I need one?
A bridge-style power kit is a code-compliant system that uses an in-wall power transfer cable (rated for in-wall use) to bring power from a lower outlet up to behind the TV — so the power cord never shows. You likely need one if you don’t have an existing outlet behind where the TV will be mounted and you want a fully clean look. Starting from $150 supply and install.
How high should I mount my TV?
The general rule is to mount the TV so the centre of the screen is at eye level when seated — typically 42–48 inches from the floor to the screen’s centre, depending on your seating height and couch depth. Many people mount TVs too high, which causes neck strain. We’ll help you find the optimal height before any holes are made.
Can you install a TV in a condo or apartment building?
Yes, condo installations are a large part of our business in Toronto. A $50 condo/commercial surcharge applies to cover added logistics (elevator booking, lobby protocols, parking). We’re experienced with both drywall-over-metal-stud and concrete condo wall types. We carry all required insurance documentation if your building management requires it.
Do you install Samsung Frame TVs and hide the One Connect Box?
Yes, Samsung Frame TV installations are one of our most requested jobs. We mount the TV flush to the wall using Samsung’s No-Gap wall mount, and we can conceal the One Connect Box in a custom AV back box hidden inside the wall for a completely clean look. The One Connect cable makes Frame TVs especially well-suited for fully hidden installations.
What’s the difference between a tilting and a full-motion TV mount?
A tilting mount lets the screen angle downward but doesn’t swing side to side. A full-motion (articulating) mount extends away from the wall and pivots in any direction — ideal for corner viewing or rooms where you watch from multiple positions. Full-motion mounts on metal-stud walls require special anchoring and are not suitable for very large TVs. We’ll recommend the right type for your setup.
