I just recently mounted my first TV and HT system on a fireplace this weekend.
I have to admit at first I was a little overwhelmed.........
Anyway, I got it done for my client with 2 hours to spare right before the Super Bowl. I dont ususally work on Sundays but I promised him I woud come out that day.
This one was electric and it was mostly hollow right behind the drywall.
My question is, when mounting to an FP, what hints, tricks, or roadblocks should I look for?
Any help is really appreciated,
thanks,
calito

It shouldn't be any different than a regular wall, just make sure that the wires don't touch the firebox.

And make sure that high voltage is run properly, to code, by an electrician. I've found there is rarely power above the fireplace and if left to the homeowner, it's a mess.

My dirty mind almost got me to respond literally to the title of this post....................but hey this is a family safe environment, those discussions should be left to the banter behind the shop.

Depends on where you are. Contact the state. For example, in CO, there is no requirement for a low volt license but, you must be licensed as a sparky. There are pros and cons to that, just as there are "pros" and "cons" in both high and low volt industry. Sorry, dumb joke. And by the way, gettin' rich? One, I do what I do for the passion and two, my employees don't have to cover various insurance payments, overhead, 80-90 hour weeks, responsibility, sales, etc. Rich? Maybe some day.

(just ask my wife and kids-lol) Im not just in it for the money but im blessed to have a passion for something that is actually making us good money and putting food on the table. And I thank The Lord for that.

Good to have another bold Christian brother involved here, Calito. I'll be taking my wife and kids to your town next week (I can relate all too well to your comments about hours and family) for some well deserved R&R. Even if it means I have to endure a certain park/resort with giant ears as it's greatest claim to fame.
