A Screen That Belongs on the Wall
TV mounting in Northern New Jersey should begin with how you use the room, not where someone can drill a few holes. The right installation considers your seating, viewing height, natural light, wall construction, wiring, and the equipment connected to the screen.
Total Home Technologies has served New Jersey homeowners since 1992. From our Roseland location, the team plans and installs televisions in living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, media rooms, and throughout the home. Older plaster walls, stone fireplaces, brick surfaces, and new construction each require a different approach. We review the wall, mounting hardware, and available cable paths before agreeing on placement.
And when you want more than a mounted screen, we can connect compatible televisions with sound systems, streaming sources, lighting, and home control.
The result is a television that looks like it belongs in the room and works the way you expect.
When the TV on the Wall Isn't Working Out
Sometimes the problem isn't the television, it's the installation.
A screen may be mounted too high, cables may hang below it, or the original bracket may not support a larger replacement. Other homeowners inherit an installation they don't understand or a collection of remotes that makes watching television unnecessarily complicated.
Total Home Technologies evaluates existing installations, including work performed by other companies. We review the mounting hardware, wall construction, wiring, connected equipment, and control setup before recommending changes.
Common TV Mounting Problems
✓ Exposed or poorly routed cables
✓ Televisions mounted at uncomfortable heights
✓ Loose, sagging, or incompatible brackets
✓ Larger replacement TVs that need new mounting hardware
✓ Soundbars or speakers that don't suit the room
✓ Multiple remotes and confusing equipment connections
We begin by understanding what isn't working before recommending what needs to change.

What a Professionally Planned TV Installation Adds
We believe a mounted television must become part of the room's architecture. This includes it's placement, wiring, and connected equipment receiving all the same consideration as your surrounding finishes.
Cleaner Cable Routing
Compatible low-voltage cables are routed through approved wall pathways or concealed behind discreet covers where in-wall runs aren’t practical. Power circuits require a code-compliant solution sized to the equipment.
Comfortable Viewing Height
Your television is positioned around the seats you actually use. Viewing distance, screen size, eye level, ambient glare, and available mounting angles all shape the final placement decision.
Mounting Matched to the Wall
The bracket and fastening method are selected for the television’s size and weight against the wall’s actual structure. Plaster, masonry, and wood-framed walls each call for a different approach.
Simpler Room Control
With compatible equipment and an integrated control system, a single remote or keypad can operate the television, switch sources, adjust volume, and coordinate the room’s lighting in one step.
TV Mounting Solutions for Every Space
Every room has different viewing needs, from a large family room screen visible across multiple seats to a bedroom installation or a fireplace wall where height, heat, and construction all factor into the plan. A great installation goes beyond where the television hangs, because wiring, sound, connected equipment, and everyday control should all work together from the start. Total Home Technologies plans each installation around your room, your home, and the way you watch.
Living & Family Room TVs
The main television often serves several purposes, from everyday news and streaming to family movie nights and weekend sports. Placement begins with the primary seating, available wall space, windows, and the room's natural light. Fixed, tilting, and articulating mounts offer different viewing options, while concealed wiring helps the television blend into the surrounding architecture.
The screen should fit the way your family uses the room.
✓ Placement planned around sofas and seating
✓ Fixed, tilting, and articulating mount options
✓ Glare and natural light considered
✓ Concealed or neatly managed wiring
Above-the-Fireplace TV Mounting
A fireplace can create a natural focal point, but it isn't automatically the best location for a television. Viewing height, heat exposure, mantel clearance, manufacturer requirements, and wall construction must be reviewed before installation. Brick, stone, and framed chimney walls may require different fastening and cable-routing solutions. During new construction, mounting support and equipment pathways can be coordinated before the walls are finished.
A fireplace installation should respect both the television and the architecture.
✓ Viewing height checked from the main seats
✓ Heat exposure and manufacturer clearances reviewed
✓ Mounting options for masonry and framed walls
✓ Early coordination for new construction and renovations
Hidden Wiring & Device Placement
A clean television wall involves more than hiding a power cord. Streaming devices, cable boxes, gaming systems, network connections, and audio equipment all need appropriate locations and access for future service. Depending on the room, equipment can be placed in nearby cabinetry or a dedicated equipment area, with suitable cable pathways connecting everything to the screen.
Keep the equipment accessible without making it the center of attention.
✓ Devices and cable boxes located away from the screen
✓ Cable routing planned for the wall construction
✓ Discreet covers where concealed pathways aren't practical
✓ Wired network connections where appropriate
Bedrooms, Kitchens & Other Rooms
Not every television belongs in a dedicated entertainment room. Bedrooms, kitchens, home offices, exercise rooms, and finished lower levels each have their own viewing requirements. We consider furniture, cabinetry, windows, available outlets, and how frequently the screen will be used. For homes with several televisions, planning the installations together can create a more consistent experience across rooms.
Every screen deserves a location that makes sense for the space.
✓ Bedroom and kitchen installations
✓ Home offices, gyms, and finished lower levels
✓ Multiple televisions coordinated across the home
✓ Consistent equipment and control options
Soundbars & Television Audio
A beautifully mounted TV can still deliver a disappointing experience when dialogue is difficult to understand or sound doesn't fill the room. We can coordinate compatible soundbars, in-wall speakers, in-ceiling speakers, and other audio components with the television installation. Speaker placement, listening positions, equipment connections, and control are considered together so the picture and sound work as one system.
Great television sound should be heard, not complicated.
✓ Soundbars mounted and aligned with the screen
✓ In-wall and in-ceiling speaker options
✓ Dialogue clarity considered from primary seats
✓ Compatible audio and television control coordinated
One-Remote Television Control
A television connected to streaming devices, cable boxes, sound systems, and lighting can quickly become frustrating when each component requires another remote. With compatible equipment and a professionally configured control system, everyday activities can become simpler. One remote, keypad, or touchscreen can coordinate power, source selection, volume, and selected room lighting.
Movie night shouldn't begin with figuring out which remote to use.
✓ One-remote control for compatible equipment
✓ Simplified source and volume selection
✓ Lighting scenes integrated where supported
✓ Opportunities for future room and system expansion

From Bare Wall to Finished Screen
A well-integrated residence starts with understanding the people, the property and what already exists. Total Home follows a clear process from the first conversation through programming, testing and long-term support.
Walk-Through
We begin with the room, reviewing wall construction, seating, viewing height, windows, glare, available cable paths, and the equipment that will connect to the television.
Design
Before drilling, we review the screen size, mount type, viewing position, cable route, and equipment placement. Any planned sound or home control connections are included in the discussion.
Installation
The appropriate mount is secured and leveled, the television is installed, and approved wiring pathways are completed. Connected sources, sound and settings, are configured and tested.
Support
After installation, we assist with equipment and connected systems. Remote assistance, after-hours access, and onsite service depend on the selected support arrangement.
