Q: Can you put a TV on a fireplace mantel?

• <div><p>In most cases, you should not put a TV on a fireplace mantel. The minimum width required to put a TV safely on a shelf or mantel is 10 inches, but pre-made mantels are usually too shallow, averaging at only seven inches deep. If you do choose to place a TV above a mantel, it should be mounted to the wall. However, do so cautiously as heat radiating from the fireplace could potentially cause damage to electronics.</p></div>

Q: How do I choose the right size of wall anchors?

• <div><p>Choosing the right size of wall anchors is essential for a secure installation. The size of the wall anchors should match the size of the screws you plan to use. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for the specific wall anchors you purchase. Typically, the packaging of the wall anchors will indicate the appropriate screw size and diameter for a proper fit.</p></div>

Q: Does mounting a TV damage the wall?

• <div><p>You will be placing holes in the wall to hang the mounting bracket. If you&rsquo;re mounting a large TV, the bolts in use could make significant holes around half an inch in diameter. Other than a few holes, though, the process of mounting the TV should not cause significant damage to the wall, unless you make an error and miss the wall stud, tearing out drywall. Should you decide to remove the mount later, the DIY <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-drywall-repair-cost-small-holes.htm">drywall repair cost</a> for a small hole usually is $10 to $30. It&rsquo;s a repair you can do in a few minutes.</p><p> </p></div>

Q: Where not to mount a TV?

• <div><p>Do not install a TV above an active fireplace or wood-burning stove because of excess heat and temperature fluctuations. Another place that can be tricky for electronics is the bathroom, where moisture can be a factor. If you choose to mount a TV in these areas, you should find a weather-resistant appliance.</p></div>

Q: How do professionals handle the installation of a heavy or oversized TV?

• <div><p>Reinforcing techniques and heavy-duty mounts are used to ensure stability and safety.</p></div>

"I had an issue with my computer where it was opening lots of pop ups, ad bars, and windows with ads for games. I had tried several different programs to try to remove it with no luck. I finally decided to call North Alabama Technical Service to see if I he could help. I was expecting to set up a time for him to look at it but he connected to my computer immediately and within an hour had it fixed and running perfect again. Great service at a great price and I didn't even have to disconnect it and carry it somewhere! Would call again if I have another issue I can't resolve myself."
