Tips before you mount

• Plaster in Tudor and Craftsman homes: locate studs and avoid hammer mode.
• Summer heat: Sacramento Valley afternoons routinely run very hot; garages and patios need outdoor-rated TVs in shade.
• Older homes with attic access: running cable down a wall is easier from above; confirm fire blocking and use CL2/CL3 rated cable.
• Midtown condos: check HOA rules and carry a COI.
• Seismic: anchor the mount into studs or masonry, not drywall, and use a safety strap for TVs on stands or media consoles. The Sacramento region is less seismically active than the Bay Area, but straps are still inexpensive.
• Brick fireplaces in older homes: keep heavy TVs off unreinforced masonry.
• Use an in-wall rated power kit for in-wall outlets.
