Safe, Professional TV Mounting Above Your Fireplace
TV mounting above a fireplace is one of the most requested — and most frequently botched — installations in Philadelphia homes. Done wrong, the TV sits too high, the mount transfers heat to the panel, or the anchors pull out of the brick. Done right, it's a stunning focal point that's safe, comfortable to watch, and built to last.
Flawless Home Services specializes in above-fireplace TV installations throughout Philadelphia. We use heat-rated tilting mounts that angle your screen downward for proper viewing from a seated position, create an air gap behind the TV to reduce heat exposure, and are rated to handle the elevated ambient temperature above working fireplaces.
Why Heat-Rated Mounts Matter Above a Fireplace
Standard flat mounts press the TV against the wall — trapping heat against the back of the panel and shortening your TV's lifespan. Heat-rated tilting mounts angle the screen 5–15° downward and maintain an air gap behind the TV. This is the correct mount type for any fireplace application. We include it in every above-fireplace installation at no extra charge.

Fireplace TV Mounting — Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to mount a TV above a fireplace?
Yes — with the right mount. A heat-rated tilting mount angles the screen downward and away from rising heat, and creates an air gap behind the panel. We assess heat output, screen distance, and ventilation before every installation. Done properly, above-fireplace mounting is safe and looks excellent.
Can you mount a TV on a brick fireplace surround?
Yes. Brick is our specialty in Philadelphia. We use carbide masonry bits and heavy-duty expansion anchors rated for the mount load. Brick fireplace TV mounting starts at $179 — includes the heat-rated tilting mount.
How high above the fireplace should the TV be mounted?
We recommend the bottom of the TV sit 6–12 inches above the mantel, with the screen center near eye level when seated. We measure your room and seating distance to recommend the optimal height before drilling.
How much does fireplace TV mounting cost in Philadelphia?
Fireplace TV mounting starts at $159 for drywall surrounds and $179 for brick, stone, or masonry. Both prices include the heat-rated tilting mount. Wire concealment can be added from $49.
